Rick Hagans (N/A–) is an American preacher and evangelist whose ministry has focused on sharing the gospel and supporting those struggling with addiction, notably through founding Harvest Evangelism in East Alabama. Born and raised in rural Alabama—specific details about his early life, such as birth date and family background, are not widely documented—he began preaching at age nine, driven by a passion that led him to run away from home to minister in the city, only to be brought back by police after trekking 13 miles. Converted to Christianity in his youth, Hagans pursued theological training at Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduating in 1979, where he met his wife, Kim. They married and have been partners in ministry for over four decades, raising at least one son, Winchester "RC" Hagans. Hagans’s preaching career gained momentum after studying under David Wilkerson at Twin Oaks Leadership Academy in Lindale, Texas, in 1980, a formative period he credits for shaping his evangelistic calling alongside mentors like Leonard Ravenhill and Keith Green. Returning to Alabama in 1986 with Wilkerson’s blessing, he founded Harvest Evangelism, initially as a Christian coffeehouse called East Alabama Challenge, which evolved into a broader ministry including His Place and Hosanna Home, faith-based residential recovery programs for men and women. Known as “Ramblin’ Rick,” he has walked across 37 states since the late 1980s, raising funds for shoes for children in Mexico and sharing the gospel, covering over 10,000 miles by 2023. His ministry blends pulpit preaching with practical outreach, such as addiction recovery and disaster relief, and he continues to lead Harvest Evangelism from Lafayette, Alabama, leaving a legacy of persistence, faith, and compassion for the marginalized.
