Jill Austin, a veteran prophetic minister and founder of Master Potter Ministries, died Jan. 9 after complications involving two emergency surgeries.

“Our beloved Jill went home to be with Jesus,” read a statement on the Web site of Austin’s Laguna Hills, Calif.-based ministry. “Thank you all for standing with us and praying. She is now with her best friend, Holy Spirit, and dancing with her destiny.”

A leader in the prophetic movement for nearly three decades, Austin authored books such as Dancing With Destiny (Chosen/Baker Publishing Group) and Master Potter & the Mountain of Fire (Destiny Image Publishers). She was also an award-winning potter.

A funeral service was held Jan. 12 in Lee’s Summit, Mo., near the International House of Prayer (IHOP), where she regularly ministered. Memorial services were held at IHOP prior to the funeral and on Jan. 16 at Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Calif.
