Andrew and Bethany Hill

Two years ago the Lord began to speak to us about moving to Alaska. The focus for us moving there would be to minister, particularly to the native people, all over Baranof Island and beyond. The Lord spoke to us specifically about the City of Sitka. Since that time we have prayed, almost daily, into the purposes and plans of God for the people there. He has spoken to us through visions, license plates, His Voice, movies, signs, and people that we've randomly bumped into. We have had prophets in the Body of Christ, especially our best friend Cynthia Branham, prophesy over us often concerning this wondrous place. Bethany actually traveled to Alaska some 20 years ago this summer to minister through the Teen Mania organization. I have never been to Alaska but in my whole 20 years of being a believer the Lord has only spoken to me about the president as much as He has spoken to me about this place! My destiny and promise lies in this land. We have been making practical preparations ...

When I draw its all about colors and their relationship with (harmony) and to (juxtaposition) each other. When I paint, though, it's all about light and how light reflects, refracts and illuminates. For instance, this piece, "Deep Unto Deep" is one of my favorites. It is currently in our living room and I find myself staring into it regularly. In this photograph much of the color that I used in it can be easily seen. In daylight you can see the variations of black, prussian, violet and burgundy. But in our living room these colors are hidden within the low light. There is also a gold edge around the piece that I am very glad I decided to include. One of the ideas behind this piece is that I wanted to hint towards heat signatures. I wanted to create a piece where you, as the viewer, were not sure if the bright core is concave or convex or simply flat. The pale yellow, almost rectangular stripe over the canary yellow has rough edges to it that cannot be seen in this phot...

I don't know if you have ever felt this way but at times in my life certain things have happened which made me feel as if I have very little faith. There are moments where I have felt as if I was being tossed back and forth like a boat pitching in the middle of a hurricane on the high seas. Each time I have felt this way, I have had my eyes on the storm of circumstances around me, at the seemingly endless onslaught of water pouring into my vessel, seeking to overwhelm me and fill me with fear, doubt, confusion, and most of all like I am sinking further into despair. But God in His patient way would simply lift my head, much like a father does to a small child, until I am face to face, looking straight into His eyes, my own eyes fixed on Him and then He reminds me that He is always with me. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus makes a bold promise, "...And remember that I am always with you until the end of time." (God's Word Translation.) I love how even in the middle of som...
