Reverend Kenneth Hagin was born in McKinney, Texas, on August 20, 1917. Rev. Hagin was a frail youngster with a malformed heart and an incurable blood condition. He was not supposed to live and became bedfast when he was 15 years old. During a spectacular conversion experience in April 1933, he claimed to have died three times in 10 minutes, each time experiencing the horrors of hell and then returning to life.
