President Hagan’s suffered a stroke last Wednesday, July 23, while attending the LCMS Youth Gathering in New Orleans. He is currently recovering there and, thanks be to God, is stable and receiving excellent care. His medical team is encouraged, and he is scheduled to begin rehabilitation tomorrow, with plans to return to St. Louis in the coming weeks to continue with outpatient therapies when he is ready. In the meantime, we ask for your continued prayers for President Hagan, his wife Jill, and their family. Please refrain from reaching out to him directly, so that he may focus fully on rest and healing.
If you wish to send cards or notes of encouragement, you may send them to the Missouri District office. Since President Hagan is currently still in New Orleans, we will ensure your messages are delivered to him during his recovery:
Missouri District – LCMS 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr., Suite 100 St. Louis, MO 63141
