Craig Hill's Biography
Craig holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Carleton College in Russian Area Studies and Geology and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Chicago.
Upon completion of his formal education, Craig worked as a corporate manager in the oil and gas exploration industry for several years. Being an experienced pilot, he later founded and managed a Learjet charter service. During these years, Craig (being fluent in the Russian language) frequently took time off from his business endeavors to minister the Gospel to the peoples of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Craig met his wife, Jan, through Youth With a Mission.
Having a specific interest in ministering to marriages and families, Craig pursued an internship and later a volunteer staff position at the New Life Counseling Center in Denver. He subsequently taught counseling and missions on the faculty of the Marilyn Hickey Bible College. In 1987, the Lord raised up Craig as Senior Pastor of a local church where he and Jan served for seven and a half years, until he was called by God to devote his full-time energy to the ministry of Family Foundations International.
Through his past experience in missions, counseling and pastoral ministry, God has given Craig unique insight into marriage, family, financial and interpersonal relationships. This has resulted in his ability to identify for many people, root causes of relational conflict, compulsive habits, low self-esteem, workaholism, lack of financial provision and other undesirable life patterns, which are repeated from one generation to the next. By interweaving personal stories with biblical truths, God has anointed Craig to pierce through the veil of the mind to minister to the depths of the heart, resulting in real life change for many.
Ancient Paths Seminars
The Ancient Paths Seminars are a balanced ministry of Biblical teaching followed by Spirit-led praying in small groups based upon Jeremiah 6:16.
The teachings are on video by founder Craig Hill. They give solid principles and moving examples that open the heart up for ministry to receive healing from a cursed identity and resolution to many negative life issues and habits. 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.
In seminars, when a teaching session ends, participants go to an assigned small 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 the 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, children 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 so that God may receive his full inheritance in the saints (Eph 1:18).
Schedule:
• Friday Evening: 6:30 pm — 10:30 pm *
• Saturday: 9:00 am — 6:00 pm *
*Ministry times often go past this hour. Special Note: Because the teaching material and small group dynamics are sequential and each session builds upon the last one, it is imperative that participants plan on attending all seminar sessions. Consequently, registrants who have missed the opening Friday evening session will not be admitted to the seminar later on Friday or Saturday, and thus will forfeit their registration fees.
