Fueled by his own dramatic deliverance from drugs, alcohol and crime in 1975, Steve Hill dedicates his life to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. His passion to help those who are hurting and his pursuit of genuine, God-breathed revival have only intensified after years of missionary work, church planting, and evangelistic crusades.

From 1995 to 2000, Steve served as the evangelist of the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida. Widely covered by the media, this incredible series of meetings drew over 4 million people through the doors of the Brownsville Assembly of God Church. News began to spread around the world that something out of the ordinary was happening at this revival. During those five years, the devout, the cynical, and the curious came from all walks of life, traveling from as many as 150 different nations around the globe. Hundreds of thousands wept at the altars, repented of sinful lifestyles, and gave their lives to Jesus. Lives were dramatically changed, marriages were restored, and addictions were broken as the Gospel of Jesus Christ was presented with clarity.

Jonathan grew up in the ministry here at Bethany. At an early age, he won many awards in various local and national piano competitions. He became a backup keyboard player for Bethany worship services at age 11. At 15, Jonathan began leading praise and worship for the youth services. Within a few years he was leading worship for the main services at Bethany. When Jonathan began producing live recordings, his talent was noticed on a national scale. After the 2000 release of "I Feel the Rain," Jonathan has turned down several offers for recording contracts so that he can continue serving his father's ministry. In 2002, Jonathan and his team made the leap from live audio recordings to a live praise and worship DVD. Featuring a 250-voice choir, a fiery six-piece band, and a packed sanctuary of worshippers, the "Show Your Glory" project was recorded on June 7, 2002. This album featured a collection of more original material and only a few select cover songs. Following its release, the album and DVD attracted so much national interest that Jonathan was a guest appearance on Trinity Broadcasting Network's "Praise the Lord" program. He also appeared on Christian Television Network's "Impulse" show. In addition, Jonathan and the Bethany praise team appeared on TBN's youth-oriented "Praise the Lord" program in December 2002.
