ELDER KIRK and TISH HILLMAN
My purpose in creating this site is to archive several pieces of intellectual property I have created over the 24 years I have served the Lord as an ordained elder. It is my spiritual legacy.
I am moved to do this in order to leave something “tangible” behind (when I die), reflective of the scope and breadth of my ministry of nurturing biblical literacy in the life of all born-again believers in Jesus Christ. The spiritual gifts of teaching and exhortation are the foundational empowerments the Lord has blessed me with, which are the landmarks of my life and ministry. As you explore each of the “page tabs” in the main menu, you will get to feel my passion and love for the Word of God, and the compassion I have for all believers to be literate of God’s moral compass.
I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ since the age of 40. I am married to Tish, the jewel of my life here on earth, for over 36 glorious years. The Lord has blessed our blended marriage covenant with six children, 13 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. I am blessed to have Tish as my covenant partner. She is a praying, compassionate, and loving wife. She is my friend, my voice of conscience, my critic, and my love. My life with her has been nothing less than a life of fulfillment.
I have fellowshipped primarily in Baptist assemblies since my coming to the faith 32 years ago, and have served as a deacon, and now as an ordained elder, performing the sacerdotal responsibilities of the ministry. I hold certifications in 12-step biblical counseling and am a certified biblical counselor for 20+ years.
In my personal Christian education ministry (KTH Ministry), I have authored 40 books, facilitated numerous boot camps focused on sanctification issues, conducted numerous home bible studies on how to effectively “study” the Scriptures, and hosted a radio program called “The Elder’s Corner” for 2 years. I have trained and equipped numerous facilitators/teachers for prison ministry, created an online course for instruction in a method to study the Bible called Scripture Enrichment Training (S.E.T.), and facilitated “Biblical Forgiveness” bible studies in prison settings for 8 years.
In my secular life, I was a treating Physical Therapist for 49 years. Upon retirement, I created a business performing the services of copyediting and proofreading. I have helped numerous people prepare their written materials for publication and have assisted many of them in independently publishing their manuscripts. I have recently begun a second career venture (2022), by receiving certification as an EEOC Investigator in the Federal sector.
