Drs. George and Hazel Hill are the founders of Victory Churches International, a church planting organization that has spread to 35 nations around the world. The Victory movement began in 1979, with the Hills planting and pastoring their first church in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. This soon grew to be one of the largest charismatic churches in Canada at that time.
In 1988, with five churches established in southern Alberta, Victory Churches of Canada was formed. Victory Churches of Canada quickly became the largest church planting organization in North America. The organization's explosive growth rapidly expanded into the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. The establishment of numerous Victory Bible Colleges, Christian Schools and TV & Radio ministries accompanied the growth of this grass roots organization.
