Hill will forever be remembered as the revivalist who stoked the flames of the Brownsville Revival, or Pensacola Outpouring, that overtook the Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida, in the mid 1990's.

An announcement on his Hill’s website reads:

Fueled by his own dramatic deliverance from drugs, alcohol and crime in 1975, Hill dedicated 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 continued to intensify after years of missionary work, church planting, and evangelistic crusades.

From 1995 to 2000, Hill served as the evangelist of the Brownsville Revival. The meetings drew over 4 million from more than 150 nations through the doors of the Brownsville Assembly of God Church.

During the five-year revival, 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. After Brownsville, Hill and his evangelistic team continued to hold arena and stadium crusades around the world.

Hill also founded and served as senior pastor, along with his wife Jeri, of Heartland World Ministries Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Hill founded Heartland School of Ministry, a soul-winning, presence-driven ministry school, as well as ProdigalsOnly.com, a website that encourages people to come back to God.

"A mighty warrior is fallen, earth is the better for his life and the poorer for his passing," writes John Jeffs on Hill’s Facebook page. "May the Lord raise up a 100 like him, that many may know of the greatness of 'Go.' Our hearts go to his family at this time of sorrow. Heaven rejoices as the Earthly battle ended the heavenly praise begins. Well done thou good and faithful servant."

Michael Brown, president of FIRE School of Ministry, wrote a tribute to Pastor Hill for Charisma News. "I will never forget the years we had together in Brownsville," he said, "praying for people every night until we were ready to drop, looking into his reddened eyes (either from weeping or lack of sleep, or both) and hearing him urge sinners to come running to the altar in repentance."

Reaching the lost and backslidden is what moved Hill day and night, added Brown. "That was my friend Steve Hill, an evangelist to the core of his being."
