She started the 43rd Jurisdictional Women's Convention by boarding a bus with other women in Eastern Florida.  Together they rode by several schools in Fort Lauderdale and had "Drive-By Prayers".  Under the supervision of Mother Rivers, Mother Hill presented her first book COGIC Auxiliaries, Bands, Units Strategies and Activities at the 53rd International Women's Convention. One of her utmost concerns is to motivate women to apply the scripture to their lives and to encourage them to become effective leaders in their churches.
