FROM AIRPLANE WINDOWS above, the Pacific Ocean stretched wide and blue. But before Kenneth and Lynette Hagin even reached the nations awaiting them, the trip already carried a testimony.
Ministering to the people of Thailand had been on Pastor Hagin’s heart for a long time. Since the COVID years, he repeatedly declared in faith, “I’m going to Thailand.” So the ministry trip was planned. The plane was packed and the team gathered. Then, on the morning they were scheduled to leave, the pilots called with unexpected news. A fuel stop fell through, forcing the team to cancel—or find another way.
God opened up another way.
The new route took the team through Alaska instead of Hawaii. Then another report came: volcanic ash was blowing directly across their flight path. But by the next morning, the ash had cleared. In 14 days, the Hagins traveled 21,000 miles, spent 48 hours in the plane, and visited
seven countries, three continents, and five
islands to share the Good News.
The first ministry stop was Bangkok, Thailand—a city full of movement, beauty, and deep traditions. Yet a mere 1 percent of the nation is Christian. Millions have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For Pastor Hagin, that need was not a statistic. It was a calling.
He preached a clear, strong message: “No matter what you see . . . No matter what you feel . . . The only thing that matters is what God said.” The people received the Word with grateful hearts. Again and again, they testified that the message of faith had changed their lives.
Rhema Thailand is growing. The ministry is building a four-story facility that will house offices, children’s and youth ministries, the school, and the church. Pastor Hagin called it a miracle how God provided the land and the building—another sign that God’s Word is taking root in a nation hungry for truth.

From Thailand, the Hagins traveled to Brisbane, Australia. On a rainy Wednesday night—during a major sporting event—the auditorium at Rhema Family Church was packed. Pastor Hagin taught that faith activates the power of God for healing. When the invitation was given, about three-fourths of the crowd came forward to receive prayer.
The healing line continue to grow. Just when it seemed the line was ending, more people came. Some checked their shoulders. Others responded to what God was doing in their bodies. The hunger was evident. The power of God was present. Lives were changed.

Next came Fiji. These islands are known for beauty, joy, and community, but the need for the Gospel remains great. The Rhema family welcomed the Hagins with great honor. The meeting place could not hold the sizable crowd. People came from an hour away to hear God’s Word. Some stood outside, listening through open doors.
Pastor Hagin reminded the people to depend on God’s Word and look at the future with expectation and faith. “You can look at things and see the bad,” he said, “or you can look at it and see the victory by the Word of God.” After the visit, reports came back that people were still talking about it. They were grateful. They were strengthened. They had received the Word.

In Samoa, the people gathered with warmth, worshiped with sincerity, and later stood outside to wave goodbye as the Hagins left the church. Pastor Hagin challenged them to be part of the Joshua generation—to step into what looks impossible and declare, “God is my source. God is my deliverer. God is my helper. I cannot be defeated, and I will not quit.”
Across busy cities, island communities, growing campuses, and packed rooms, one truth was clear: Rhema’s mandate is still moving. The message of faith is reaching people, strengthening believers, and helping nations hear what God has said.
Kenneth and Lynette Hagin went because souls are at stake. They returned with the same testimony Rhema has carried for decades: the Word works, the Gospel changes lives, and the mandate to “Go teach My people faith” is still going strong.
