Family Foundations/Ancient Paths  
 
(www.familyfoundations.com)

The Ancient Paths Seminar (from FAMILY FOUNDATIONS, International / FFI) is a balanced ministry of Biblical teaching followed by Spirit-led praying in small groups based upon Jeremiah 6:16. In our opinion, it is one of the best seminars we've seen in 25 yrs of ministry.

The teaching, by FFI founder Craig Hill, gives solid principles and moving examples that opens the heart up for ministry to receive a 'touch' from God. The teaching is not just for information, but to expose hidden areas of woundedness that have occurred in the family of origin or through other significant relationships. Developing relational communication skills is the opening topic. The dynamics of how addictive patterns are formed when the soul is out of peace is covered next. Then, on the final day, there is a journey through the critical times of life when God intends to bless a person.

When a teaching session ends, participants go to their assigned group for prayer, led by trained facilitators. The purpose of the group is not discussion, counseling, or exhorting, but for asking the Holy Spirit to show participants where our soul is wounded, to expose any lies of the enemy, and to ask the Lord to speak the truth that He wants us to hear in our hearts. Participants may pour out emotional pain to God that has been bottled up for years. But no one in the group is forced to open up in prayer. Those who do not respond outwardly, often receive healing as they identify with those that do.

The end result of this ministry is that people are healed and released to be spouses, parents, and friends who bless one another more and curse each other less.

The purpose of this ministry is to restore God’s timeless foundations to families by facilitating God’s process of imparting identity and destiny to His people and to reestablish a culture of blessing within the church and community.
