His Dwelling is a safe house, providing both temporary refuge for girls experiencing domestic abuse and essential support to local women and children in the community.

Founder

I'm Tatum Hill, born and raised in Greenville, SC. As a full-time missionary, I’ve had the privilege of spending many years overseas, growing in my love for Jesus and His people. His Dwelling is a vision God entrusted to me, and it is both an honor and a humbling responsibility to lead. My heart is to bring safety and healing to those impacted by domestic abuse and trauma. My goal is to offer hope, restore identity, and empower women and children to live lives filled with purpose and dignity.

Busi has been with His Dwelling for 3 years now. She helped start The Belonging program.

Buhle became a sta member in 2024. She is a caretaker with Far More Precious. Her passion for children is seen in her daily life.

Founder

Attorney

My name is Anne Marie Odom and I serve as a Board Member and Corresponding Secretary of His Dwelling. Tatum and I grew up in the same city and went to the same high school but since I was several years older, we never formally met until 2019. Sometimes it is exceedingly clear that God has put someone in your path for a reason and I had that feeling from the moment we met. I was unsure what the reason was at first, but I knew she was someone special. She exudes warmth and genuine kindness and her love of the Lord is apparent from the moment you meet her.

My day job is as a criminal defense attorney. My most favorite and all-the-time job is being “Mama” to two precious little boys. Tatum came into my life initially as a teacher to my two sons who seemed to be growing more excited about school and Jesus by the week. I have had the privilege of watching her ability to connect with them to share more about God and to exemplify what someone walking with Him through life looks like.

Tatum has helped to shape their hearts to love the Lord and I know that she will do that for others wherever she goes. Her ability to create meaningful relationships is incredible. She has a servants heart and her desire to bring God’s love to others knows no bounds. My law degree is just a fancy piece of paper in a frame. How I use it and my ability to serve “the least of these”, both professionally and personally, is what matters. I am honored and humbled to play a small part in helping the ministry of His Dwelling reach as many people as possible.

Marketing Manager

My name is Kenny Ridgell, I have known Tatum since Elementary School and have been blessed to see her path clearly directed by God. She has an absolutely miraculous and undeniable call to provide service and desire to spread Gods love.It is encouraging to hear her miraculous stories where the Lord works through her child like faith. She has lived without fear of judgement and is encouraging to people like me who can get stuck in the daily grind to where I forget where my faith stems from. ⠀ I am blessed to have vocational skills where I am able to assist a mission with a sister in Christ. I will be serving on the board of His Dwelling as the Marketing chair. In this position, I will be able to utilize my experiences marketing and resources as the President of a Marketing firm. ⠀ We will be assisting specifically in crafting a narrative with Tatum through her branding, websites, social campaigns, email marketing and other community efforts. This will include growing what is already a fruitful international fundraising effort by expanding the audience and following of His Dwelling by giving people insights into Tatum’s encounters with our God and his people. Honored to work alongside a team that is truly working towards growing our family in Christ.

Secretary

My name is Anne Hill and I am pleased to serve as the Secretary of the His Dwelling Board of Directors. What a privilege it has been to have a front row seat to see God develop this ministry over the course of the last couple of years. And an even greater honor to watch the Lord call and equip its Founder, Tatum Hill, my daughter. ⠀ Years ago, God gave me a heart for missions and I have served on a number of church missions boards and community non-profits over the course of my life. Currently, I work for a local Christian ministry that ministers to individuals experiencing homelessness and life dominating addictions. I am looking forward to see the life change that Jesus will provide through the ministry of His Dwelling.

Founder

“I felt led to be apart of the His Dwelling family because I was searching and praying to be apart of a ministry where I could help spread the Gospel and the love that God has granted me, not just to the people in my city, but to the four corners of the Earth. There is no greater feeling than walking in what God had called us to do and getting to encourage others to do the same! God has and is impacting so many others through His Dwelling, including me! “
