Ancient Pathways 2025 Assignments

Moving Forward In Unity, Healing and Love

 Isaiah 61 - Rebuild, restore, release from bondages.

What an amazing year Ancient Pathways Ministry has had.

We (Deb Robinson & Cindy Shirley) have had different assignments this year as a team, than what we anticipated.  

Creator has asked us to stay in Oregon and not go oversees to the nations this year.   

Our assignments were about rebuilding relationships (connections) and building new relationships (connections). 

It was my dream to connect with believers (intercessors) on the reservations in Oregon.  I had been praying into this over 8 years.

Now was the time.  God’s timing is so amazing to us.

January:  We were asked to lead in January a Willamette Valley Prayer Group which is a group of 10 people, to be strategic in praying over the land and water ways of Willamette

Valley here in Oregon.  Our first assignment was to pray over the South Gate of Willamette Valley in Cottage Grove area.  We started meeting with strategic intercessors, prophets and  leaders to build relationships and accomplish this assignment.  The assignment was done in October.  It was so great to come together in unity with power of Holy Spirit.  Everyone were released to speak their heart and decree what Creator had given them.

February:  We went to Siletz Reservation and reconnected with Drumspeaker - Jerry

Chapman & Leslie Chapman at Sacred Ground Church along with Pastor Scott & Kelly Albright and Dan & LaRita Lundy (old friends of ours).  Jerry and Leslie Chapman started Gatherings of First Nations

Sunday.  We also went to Longview Washington to share at a First Nations gathering.

We went to Texas to pray over the Heart of Texas. We were also w part of Faros monthly gathering, meeting new people and reconnecting with others. Creator had us do something new in the gathering, be still and know that I am God. We were to be still and listen and then release what we heard. A new awakening for many of us.

March: We connected with Pray Oregon who has Native Prayer on Wednesday Nights. I met with intercessors from Warm Springs Reservation vs zoom call and started building relationships with them along with one of the founders of Pray Oregon - Peter Carlson.

We were invited by Pray Oregon to come to New Mexico at the 50th Anniversary of Billy Graham prophecy:  "You as evangelical Indians are a Sleeping Giant. You are now awakening. The original Americans could turn around and be the evangelists to win other Americans to Christ." He said this in 1975 at a conference in New Mexico for Native American leaders. Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church, were the host of this gathering. They were so honoring to all of us.

Peter, Deb & Cindy flew into Denver Colorado met up with 2 other women from Oregon.

Drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the gathering.  We were honored to receive airline miles from Peter. We had donations come in for housing/gas/meals.

We met with old friends and met new friends at the gathering. 

We then drove to Colorado Springs spent the night at historical Glen Eyrie Castle.  Then Peter took Mandy and Fred to Denver airport while Dai Sup from World Prayer Center, took Cindy and I to pray over the land. (Garden of the gods and Palmer park that over looked the city.)

Dai Sup who took us all around Colorado Springs to pray over the land

 On the way to Denver airport the next day Peter had arranged for Cindy and I  to meet up and pray over many leaders in Colorado Springs and over the land there.  Visited the YWAM Base, National Day of Prayer (Vice President - Dion Elmore), The Rock Church in Castle Rock Colorado (met with Pastor Mike Polhemus and muscian Aaron Wagner).  We then went to another church to meet up with a Bishop, he was not able to meet in person, but joined us on the phone for prayer.

Kingdom Council WarmSprings Reservation

We went to WarmSprings Reservation and met with Kingdom Council group.

I shared about 'can you forgive without an apology.' After the first song in worship, 2 women in the gathering stood up and forgave others. Holy Spirit really showed up and we got to pray and minister over all the women. Such a great bonding time.

St. Rep Darin Harbick sharing inside State Capitol of Oregon.

We were asked to have Willamette Valley Prayer Team Woman Warriors, to go to Oregon State Capitol to meet with Rep. Darin Harbick to pray over the Capitol and Government.  We were the first prayer group and the last prayer group to go.  There were 18 different groups that were asked to go from different area’s in Oregon.

We were part of Willamette Valley Prayer Group in hosting Representative Darin Harbick and wife Kail.  Thanking all the prayer groups who went to Oregon’s Capitol to pray.  A gathering of worship, food, and fellowship.  Sharing from Darin & Kail, along with others sharing their experience at the Capitol of Oregon. Cindy cooked the whole dinner for @ 70+ people and Deb decorated. We had worship with Jonathan and Nathan Smith. Jason Wolf organized the prayer teams going up to the Capitol and the Honoring Event.

We were asked to join Tillamook Intercessors, Pray Oregon Ministry and Rhea Ministry to pray over the mouth of Colombia River in Astoria. North Western corner of Oregon,

Mouth of Colombia River

Led by Linda Hanratty of Tillamook. It was an honor to represent the First Nations of Oregon during this prayer assignment. It was good to hear the like mindedness of these groups & prayer warriors to bring healing to Oregon.

We went to Pray Oregon Family Gathering Retreat and got to meet many who are on the daily zoom calls praying. It was such an honor to be there and build new relalationship's.

We got to hear their hearts about blessing Oregon with strategic prayers in many different areas (what we would call the 7 mountains).

We have built local relationships with Native Prayer Group to pray monthly, started by Anita Fissel. This group is now led by Kelly and Gretchen Jenness., (as Anita has moved out of state.) We helped with putting on a First Nations Gathering, led by Kelly & Gretchen along with Drumspeaker Jerry Chapman. I was asked to share at this gathering (such an honor).  

We of course protocol with gifts to Kelly and Gretchen Jenness, Jerry Preston and his grandson Presley, along with Pastor Kirk Stickler of Calvary Open Chapel

We all felt it was very successful, and will have another one next year.  

This year we hosted an Inner Healing Class taught by Faros Int’l Ministry - John & Susie Bell.  We hosted them for 2 weeks. Our Pray assignments where Oregon State Capitol & Washington State Capitol. We went to Portland, Astoria, Tillamook, Rockaway Beach.

They shared at Life Church at Wayside and Kairos church. We meet new people, & reconnect with others. Had great team time and strategic plans doing ministry in 2026.

We continue to meet one on one with many who want inner healing.

We meet monthly as the 'Heart of the Grandmothers' lead by Anita Fissel and Deb Robinson.

Anita has moved to another state but we still stay connected and pray as a group.

This is such an honor for us Grandmothers to pray wisdom, Jesus encounters for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Where we come together in unity and share the wisdom of the grandmothers.

Cindy and I took a much needed rest and went to Mesa AZ for one week to spend time with our dear friends Nancy and Randy Martin. We got to meet up with Pastor Bob Scroggins and Janis Lane. It was so nice just sit on their back porch and fellowship.

We had such deep rewarding times in all of these assignments from Our Creator.
