Mrs. Oretha Hagin was the wife of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin, founder and president of Kenneth Hagin Ministries and RHEMA Bible Training Center.

Oretha Hagin was born on November 2, 1918, in rural Collin County, Texas.

On November 25, 1938, Oretha married a young preacher named Kenneth E. Hagin, who had come to the nearby community of Tom Bean to pastor a small Assembly of God church. Soon afterward, Kenneth and Oretha moved to Farmersville, Texas.

From 1941 to 1949, Kenneth Hagin continued to pastor several churches and travel in field ministry. Throughout those years, Oretha was at her husband's side, traveling with him whenever possible and helping him in the ministry.

In 1949, Kenneth Hagin left his last church by the leading of the Lord to go out into field ministry. For the most part, Oretha stayed home with their two children, providing a steady, godly influence as she raised them with a firm but loving hand, shaping and helping to prepare Ken and Pat for the far-reaching ministries they lead today.

Throughout her life, Oretha never failed to demonstrate her lifelong commitment to God, her deep love and respect for her husband of 64 years. Lovingly known as "Mom" to many of the people she ministered to over the years, Oretha Hagin will always be remembered as a dedicated and gracious woman and servant of God, a godly wife, and a loving mother and grandmother.

Because of Oretha's obedience to faithfully serve at her husband's side for more than six decades and because of Kenneth and Oretha's obedience together to raise up spiritual children all over the world thousands upon thousands of their spiritual children are now preaching and ministering the message of faith and obedience all over the world, setting captives free and making a difference for eternity.

Some parents—even ministers—don't set the right example before their children. And they don't show their children the God-kind of love. Some parents are either too harsh toward their children or they don't pay any attention to them at all. But children who aren't...
