"Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International began as one small chapter in L. A. California in 1952. It was a "God Inspired" vision of a businessman named Demos Shakarian who was obedient to God, and as a result, now has grown into a global ministry in 160 countries.
Through the vision, untold masses of men from every nation, once spiritually dead, are now alive. Delivered and set free, they are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, lifting holy hands and voices in praise to the King of Glory, Jesus. Men who join the fellowship have the opportunity to participate in their choice of a number of ministries, designed to spread the good news of Christ in the business and community environment.
You are cordially invited to join us in this great work of God. Thank you."
