The teaching is
on video by founder Craig Hill. It gives solid principles
and moving examples that open the heart up for ministry
to receive healing from a cursed identity. The intent
of 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 skill is the opening
topic. The dynamics of how addictive patterns are formed
when the soul is out peace is covered next. Then, Saturday
is a journey through critical times of life when God
intends to bless a person; such as birth, puberty,
marriage, old age.
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.
Testimonies
"Thank you so much for the 'Ancient Paths' seminar.
... Several people have shown enduring signs of the blessings
they received, including my wife. As for me, the teaching
was some of the clearest, most mature, and biblical,
without being obnoxiously fundamentalist that I’ve
ever heard. It put many points together for me that have
altered my world view..."

"This seminar has dramatically changed both of our lives. It has deepened our relationship as husband and wife and God's destiny and purpose for us. We hank God for Family Foundations ministry and especially Sam & Linda Caster and Bob & Audrey Meisner." "We have a renewed commitment to work toward being what God would have us to be. This has changed my outlook and understanding of marriage. I have greater appreciation of my spouse and his role in the family and what my role is as his wife to support him and lift him up in prayer."
"From the womb until the age of five, I was abused badly by my father. I was not wanted as a girl, and he let me know at every opportunity he had. At one point, when I was three, he held a gun to my head and threatened to kill me because I was "a mistake" and "not wanted". As I poured all this out to the facilitator in our group, I could feel intense pain that became physical. As the facilitator spoke, I saw this: Yeshua was standing next to my father, with His hand over the gun. The expression on His face was so sad, yet so full of love. I could feel anger, sadness, and profound love just pouring out of Him. Tears just poured out of my eyes, and my heart felt as if it would burst. He saved my life that time, and other times as well. All the pain, all the anger and hatred that I had held to my father just disappeared as I forgave his actions, as I forgave him and myself, and as I asked forgiveness for having held anger and hatred. Now I am able to think of that and many other moments, and I feel nothing."

Having been a believer but not necessarily a follower since 1974 there is just so much. First it must be stated that I am indeed not only a survivor but also a thriver. You see, I am blind in my left eye due to a cerebral aneurysm that came from the vicious attack of my then husband...
It (the seminar) began with lots of prayer, others and mine for the leadings from Abba to appear. The memories began and the first generational curse to be revealed was given to me in the second group meeting. Here I was at ten years old shouting at my mother that I hated her! In the third session thru different memories of fear for the first time in my life it was shown to me and I understood that my Mom, who didn't realize what she was doing was favoring her first born son and shoving her first born child aside! What a revelation this was! On top of that, I discovered that I had been doing the same thing to my own daughter! So, with prayer and repentance this generational curse was broken!
All of a sudden other memories came to me regarding how different men had treated me and how I allowed this to transpire. How there was no strength in me to say "NO". Then it came to me where this generational curse came from. Not from my father but from my grandfather on my mother's side. He had viciously abused my poor mother and even though she had long forgiven him, the curse still followed. My own Mom not being able to stop what he did to her! This seminar is so powerful and the lessons learned so marvelous, I was directed to call a facilitator and she told me what to do and how to pray. Repentance first and more memories came flooding back. Praying to Abba thru His son Yeshua to come and break the curses has freed me as a woman. No longer am I ever permitted to allow any man, that means x-husband, sons or even men that are met at Synagogue, or at work or at play to treat me with anything but respect and honor. For that is what I am about, being Honorable and a Protectress!
