Testimonies from the Ancient Paths Seminar

My wife and I had met you through the Ancient Paths Video Seminar two months ago. It has blessed us very much. We have two kids: a boy (12 years old) and a girl (6 years old).

The vision God has gave you is something really revolutionary, in my point of view. It changes our way of thinking. It turns possible to feel our destiny as something good and desirable. Not because God simply wants to control our lives, but because He has something special for each one of us, coming from His heart, it is His will, and the center of God's will is the safest place of the whole universe. It guides us to seek God's will with much more conviction and faith. It gets us stronger and sure about life. I grew up in the evangelical environment, and I've never heard such a meaningful vision of Christian life.

Paths like Bar/Bat Barakah, courtship and others are powerful tools we can use to open - as soon as possible - for our children in order to avoid or at least minimize their wounds in life. I want to participate in the construction of this vision in the church we are members.

I think I took Ancient Paths 1 maybe two years ago at a Vineyard Church in Jacksonville FL. I live In Jacksonville FL right now, but travelling for this is no problem. I took a friend to Tampa so he could go to Ancient Paths 1 about a year ago. His stronghold was suicide, and he left that seminar with a whole new outlook, and immediately began to prosper in his personal life. I'm sure you already know very well that Ancient Paths is a powerful move of God in our time, but I just have to say it one more time. It was life-changing for me, and I know God is no respector of persons.

In my opinion EVERY Christian should at least learn these precepts, since the greater part of Craig's message I have never heard anywhere else.

I can't begin to describe what a powerful, anointed ministry this is.  My heart was immediately touched by the spirit of love of the generous folks involved.

The mere fact that I managed to make it to the seminar is testimony to the powerful draw of the Holy Spirit.  I am a single mother of 3 beautiful, busy, active and at times challenging children.  I teach 5th grade at a Christian School and anyone who knows anything about the teaching profession knows the job does not end when the children go home.  The seminar I attended occurred during the first week of school.  With much preparation, planning and hard work to free myself of my other responsibilities I arrived--EXHAUSTED.

God spoke through the weariness and touched my soul.  He shined His spotlight deep into the crevices of my heart where I'd buried many hurts and heartbreaks so long ago, I hadn't thought about them in years.   He did it to free me from bondage to pain so I could in turn bless my children and break the pattern of cursing caused by walking in self and not in Him.  I am amazed at the destructive power of a broken heart.  In discovering God's ancient paths, I can bless my children.  I feel hopeful and confident in the hand of God on my children and me.

Hello and greetings...My husband and I just attended the Ancient Path Seminar in Concord, NC at the First Assembly of Concord.  Some members of our home church, Grace Covenant Four Square Church in Cornelius, NC had told my husband and I we needed to go!!  They said it would change our lives.

Charlie, my husband and I were brought up in Christian homes, however we did not understand some of the things that were in the Bible fully until this wonderful event!!

I know the seminar was just over this evening, but I wanted to take a moment and say Thank You.  Sometimes, as Christians we live in the flesh.  It takes a person with wisdom from God to explain things to a lay person.

Charlie and I are both educated and have read the things preached, however, how they were explained brought us to our knees.

We came home this evening and had our family time and said blessings over all 3 of our wonderful children.  I do not think a day will ever go by that we will not impart blessing to them.

Thank you Mr. Hill for the message from God to our family.

Sincerely,

Charles & Tonya Smith

PS-next day: We would love for our testimony to be posted.   It has changed our lives and we have already seen a change in our kids!!!

My husband and I went through this seminar and it was life changing.  We would recommend it to everyone, including high school age kids.  It is hard to describe, but  is a series of videos and small groups on a Thursday night, Friday night and all day on Saturday.  It explains your identity and who you are and how you became the person you are.  It goes back many generations.  Our son who was a non-believer went on a trip this past summer where this seminar was offered to his high school youth group.  He came back a changed child. He gave his life to Jesus and understood many things about who he was.  It helped him deal with many problems in his life that were strongholds.  I would recommend everyone going to the web site www.familyfi.org and once there click on Ancient Paths and there is an excellent explanation.  I pray you will email this to everyone on your mailing list.  It is a life changing experience.  Praise God!!!!

I feel blessed that you would like to post this on your website. It does not even touch the surface of what I totally got out of it. I do not mind if my name is included and would love to talk with people that have questions or are hesitating. My son is a 15 year old who went through it and he gave a testimony at our youth group. My phone number is (727) 943-9648. It is open for anyone.  My pray is that as I get more training that someday I will be called to facilitate Ancient Paths.

God Bless you - Your Sister in Christ

  The verse that speaks of…"my people perish for a lack of knowledge," –I know what that means now! So many believers are trying to live righteous lives, but are unaware of how to break the curses –they must know about this message!

I was in extraordinary torment for so long. At this seminar the wound was finally lanced & closed. I will never be the same...this seminar contained the true, non-judgmental love of our Savior.

      Our fellowship enjoyed the seminar we had two weeks ago in Red Bluff. The peace and the joy that was released was too much to describe! The Sunday after the seminar the whole church was affected by the freedom that came through those who were participants in the seminar. The testimonies were so encouraging that the next seminar will be full without any advertising. We, as a church fellowship, are praying that this is the healing for the body of Christ that will bring revival to Northern California!

      I have purchased many copies of "Ancient Paths" and given them to people this past year, but I only had head knowledge.  The seminar is truly life-changing and now I know why in the book, Craig suggests the reader attend a seminar.

     The teaching was so rich and full (that) I needed to do some inner processing before I was ready for personal ministry. This concept of "blessing" was life-changing!

    ... we have been reconciled with our grown son and with our estranged grown daughter... we are so grateful for what God did in our lives through the Basic seminar... and in our children's as we applied the principles learned!!! Thanks!

Wow, I never cease to be amazed at the end of these seminars - keep them coming - when can you come again? Pastor, Canada

I would recommend this seminar to every Christian. I wish I could have done this ten years ago! There is no one on the face of this earth who couldn't benefit from this.

We had a man come to the seminar in June that told us he was an atheist and was only there because his wife made him come.  He was in Martin and Marga's group.  They assured him they were pleased to have him there and
that took him back a bit.  He sat thru the first video and went to his group.  He told them he did not believe in God but that man on the video sure knew that he needed to fix things with his wife.  So he did!  Then the following morning he was back and when he went into his group, Martin said, "Let's pray.."  But before he could start, the man said that he HAD to
speak.  He began to explain that the guy on the video was talking about him and he could not take it any more...what did he need to do?  He gave his heart to Jesus and was so excited.  The following morning in the church
service (he had been there once or twice for his wife), he went to the pastor and insisted on sharing in the service.  He told them the last two days had changed him more than anything in the previous 25 years.  Our DTS was there and were so excited as they had been on prayer vigil during the seminar but had not seen us yet.  So it was a great encouragement all
around - for us, the facilitators, the DTS and the pastor.  God is good.

Hi …I'm an Australian single parent and have recently done the seminar. It was fantastic. I received a father's blessing. What has really touched me though is the blessings that we "should" receive through our life, especially for teenagerhood to adulthood. My children are 12 and 14, and I am now on a journey to rectify, and ensure that they do receive the blessing that God wants for them. I've read Jeff Brodsky's book, and am starting Craig's Bar Barakah. Each time there is a baby dedication at my Church it really stirs something inside me, and now it is all fitting into place! Thank you so much...I am also currently listening to the tapes on Relationships, and as a single mum, I am finding them really great. God really does want the best for us…

This was a very special impartation in my life and changed my attitude towards myself completely. I can now freely speak in front of people and the Lord is really blessing me and my husband in the ministry. I feel great about myself being a woman and doing what the Lord wants me to do.

     We have finished with our mouths open in amazement at the ways Jesus came and manifested himself, bringing healing and hope. If you have a chance to attend one, GO!!!! It is good!!!!

 Lo que puedo decir ahora es mi testimonio de libertacion de una concha, pues durante 23 años me senti como un pez afuera del agua e que mi nacimiento fue um error. Com esto todo lo que yo hacia, no me salia bien o lo dejava por la mitad, pues yo tenia una busqueda muy grande, y esa busqueda era simplemente para sentir el amor de Dios y ver que yo soy especial que El ya me conocia bien antes de nacer.

       Quieres saber lo mas importante sobre mi? Dios me Ama, yo me Amo y Amo todos a mi alrededor, como hoy se que tambien outras personas me aman.

I completed the Basic Seminar course in Potchefstroom, South Africa 4 months ago, divorced, hurt and wondering if God really knew that I was done here on earth.  The devil tried to kill me in what could have been a horrific car accident on the way to the course, which was two hours away from my home.  It was the most incredible course and weekend of my life.  My ex-husband went on the course in Johannesburg 2 months later.  We are now getting married again in a few weeks time...PRAISE GOD !! and another loss to Satan.  The desire of our heart is to bring this seminar to our church and really to testify of what a MIRACLE WORKING GOD we serve.

"Since we started doing the Seminars here in July of 1998, this is what our statistics showed by the end of the year:

Sixty-two people have attended the Ancient Paths Seminar of which several of the marriages were in critical condition. Out of the 62 attendees, only 10 went on for more counseling.

Overcoming Anger Seminar- we have had 41 attendees. Out of those, only one went on for more counseling.

We are seeing a real impact on our counseling schedule. Before the Seminars people could not get in to see a counselor for 2-6 weeks. Now we can get them in to see either counselor within a week to 10 days. It's great!"
