FGBMFI– YOUR  FGBMFI  INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL  TEAM
May 9, 2008

THE INTERNATIONAL OFFICE HEADQUARTERS

YOUR  FGBMFI  INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL  TEAM

  Michael Lim , CPA, is the outside CPA for FGBMFI International. He is the Managing Partner for Semaphore Tax Strategies. He serves as a financial consultant for such corporations as Burger King and Taco Bell. Mr. Lim will be preparing the final financial statements and audit that is presented to our International Directors.

George Duggan is our International Treasurer. Having studied law, he launched into a life-long very successful career in real estate.

George has carefully managed his personal finances over the years and is very careful with FGBMFI finances.

He frequently travels to the FGBMFI nations to join the Fire Teams. After his first Fire Team he said, “I have brought more people to the Lord this past week, than I had in the previous 25 years in FGBMFI.”

Mike Galleher is a very successful businessman. His businesses include auditing and operating condominium and apartment associations with 2,500 member units. He is also a very successful real estate builder. He is the hands-on member of the Audit Committee.

Dave MacBurnie , until recently, was Vice President for Quality for the Crown Corporation and Steel Company. With 23,000 employees and plants and offices in 159 nations. Dave was in charge of the quality control of financial and manufacturing activities. He is a member of our Audit Committee.


IN-HOUSE (FGBMFI) FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Dan Sanders can always be found at the FGBMFI office in Irvine, California. He is the FGBMFI Financial Controller and Administrator. Dan is in full charge of all FGBMFI financial, personnel, and administrative responsibilities.

We thank God for Dan Sanders. All who have met him are very pleased that he is on our team. Raised a Baptist, he hungered for the Holy Spirit and the fullness of God in his life. This pursuit led him to study theology, and later to work with Dr. C. Peter Wagner, who is one of the foremost authorities on the move of the Holy Spirit and Evangelical life.

Dan came to us from the University of California Irvine, where he was Administrative Analyst with responsibilities of financial and human resource management over an area of about $12 million.

Our Pledge to You
The AUDIT COMMITTEE is made up of George Duggan, Mike Galleher, and Dave MacBurnie. They are not related (by blood or marriage) and are not employed by FGBMFI.

They have full access to all FGBMFI records, bank statements, checks and invoices. At least one of them reviews every check written monthly.

They have a responsibility to God and to our FGBMFI members to utilize these funds as accurately and effectively as possible.

An Annual Financial Statement is presented at the World Convention each year.

FGBMFI – REACHING AMERICA
May 5, 2008

REACHING AMERICA

An Open Letter to All Members, Friends, and Leaders in the USA

The salvation of millions of souls in the USA marketplace is on our shoulders!

In recent prophetic meetings, the deepest needs of scores of people were being revealed by the Holy Spirit. Prior to that meeting, I could not have imagined the depth of the hurt in their hearts. These were in the working age of 25-50. Yet, they were so hungry. God reached down and ministered to every need!

You are invited to participate in a historic meeting for FGBMFI USA in Dallas, Texas, May 30-31, 2008 !

We have only one objective, to reach out to those in the work place with a power-packed FGBMFI Chapter format. We are asking the Lord to teach us how to catch those who are not now interested in Jesus. In Dallas, we will train and format a soul-winning Chapter. It will be so easy to begin, that you could have five of them; one every day of the week right around where you work! Yes, the decisions will be made in Dallas. You need to be there!

The meeting schedule is:

  • Friday night, May 30, 8:00 p.m., united prayer.
  • Saturday morning, May 31, 9:30 - 12:00, vision and two-way training.
  • Lunch hosted by FGBMFI.
  • 1:30 - 4:00 p.m. will be additional training and questions and answers.
  • 6:30 p.m. dinner with Richard and Vangie; Grand Ballroom;
    $30 paid in advance, $35 paid at the door. Must RSVP by May 26, 2008;
    (800) 827-4171; mail check with guest names to FGBMFI Banquet,
    9280 Huntington Square, North Richland Hills, TX 76180.
  • Event registration $15.00.

Roy Brian has made the arrangements at the Omni Dallas Hotel at Park West, LBJ Freeway and Luna Road, Dallas, Texas; 972-869-4300; special $89 room rate.

In the United States…we will all speak with one voice! The voice of the Holy Spirit!

In the Spirit we see hundreds of new Chapters; thousands of souls that will be saved as we act. It is upon our shoulders!
UNITED…AS ONE IN JESUS!

Vangie and I look forward to seeing you in Dallas, May 30-31. We also look forward to seeing you in Orlando at the World Convention, July 2-5, 2008!

Dianna, age 15, receiving the Lord
Honduras

Be encouraged – the presence of our Lord is always there. What a joy to see young people, as well as those later in life, receiving Jesus Christ as Savior.

I will never forget when Rey Soto went out to the swimming pool and led one of our Director's sons to the Lord at a World Convention! It's not the meeting, it's the anointing!

Please bring your young people to the World Convention in Orlando this year. They will receive a life-changing moment of destiny under the anointing of our Lord.

Thank you for your continued financial giving to the World Headquarters. Your giving keeps the tip of the FGBMFI spear sharp!
Through the initiatives begun right here at our World Headquarters, millions of people are currently coming to Christ. Thank you for being a part by planting your financial seed.

FGBMFI– APRIL FIRE IN NICARAGUA
April 30 , 2008

APRIL FIRE IN NICARAGUA
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

A massive fire of the Holy Spirit is burning across the hills in Nicaragua. The intermediate report is 192,263 people have received Jesus Christ! FGBMFI men and women fan out across three counties and are conducting more than 15,000 meetings. Report given by Humberto Arguello.

The workers report that 3 blind people have received their sight. One disabled person was healed and many other miracles occurred as people opened their hearts to Jesus. To reach some villages, a group of our workers had to walk up to 8 hours uphill in rough terrain where their cars could not go.

PRAISE GOD!   GOD IS FAITHFUL!
OUR FEET & OUR MOUTH + HIS SPIRIT = CHANGED LIVES!

We will all get together and rejoice at the World Convention, July 2-5, 2008, Orlando, Florida. Register online at www.fgbmfi.org .

FGBMFI – Continuing Leadership Series
April 24 , 2008

RICHARD SHAKARIAN
Continuing Leadership Series

Saturday, Lee Iacocca and Richard Shakarian spent most of the day. They discussed the current perceived crisis in America. Then, Lee began to share his core values that he had learned from his immigrant parents. Those core values took him to the highest places in American business and political life. One of the values he has never forgotten is to go to church every Sunday.

Lee Iacocca, former President of Ford Motor Company, former CEO of Chrysler. He is widely acclaimed for saving the Chrysler Corporation, and also for turning around the sales of Ford through the introduction and marketing of the Mustang.

President Ronald Reagan appointed him to head the Statue of Liberty Foundation.

We had a very interesting time as Lee privately shared with me, the greatness of America and the challenges facing the United States today.

Secrets of the Anointing

Sunday night, Vangie and I were with Kim Clement in one of the most anointed services we have experienced recently.

Wave, after wave, after wave, after wave of the powerful anointing and sweet presence of Jesus rolled across the crowd.

It reminded me of my youth, at less than 16 years of age, I was the driver for Oral Roberts. I would pick him up at the hotel and drive him to the big tent. As we came around behind the high stage, Oral would get out and go to a special prayer room built underneath that high stage.

The people would continue to sing, but in spite of the fact that Oral had prayed from 2:00 p.m. on, he would not go out on the stage until he felt the healing power of God as heat in his right hand.

What a secret!

The leader must have the fresh anointing every day and every time!

As an FGBMFI leader and Chapter leader, open your heart to the Holy Spirit every
day – and especially before your meetings! Teach your people the same secret. Then, God will show up. Only you and God will know the secret. The secret is time with Jesus !

Dear Richard, We all returned safely to Nigeria after the beautiful convention at Panama City. The memories are still fresh, and we thank God for the experience.
Three weeks after we gathered in the commercial city of Cotonou, Benin republic for the West Africa convention from August 14-19. Eight nations participated in that convention, with a total attendance of about 3,000. One major result of that convention was that it brought great reawakening in the city which I believe will cause rapid growth of the fellowship in Benin republique.
Sincerely, Azike

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your good hospitality in Fort Lauderdale and the time you have dedicated to our African brothers.

They were all encouraged by the Fellowship developments and they long to see the revival spreading throughout their continent and changing their nations.

The Kinshasa Fire Teams week in September and the Rally will obviously be a key element in that process. I am sending today a message to all French speaking African nation leaders to invite them to join with us in Kinshasa. I also ask them to give us their members' email addresses so that you can send them your information letters as discussed in Florida.

FGBMFI – “KEEP ON COMING!”
April 11 , 2008

“KEEP ON COMING!”
YOU'VE ALREADY COME TOO FAR…
TO GO BACK TO THE BOAT!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

How great is our God!
“Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.”
“And to some He said, I know thy works, thou art neither cold nor hot; so then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
“I counsel thee to buy of me gold, tried in the fire.”   “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith.”

I received a prophetic word from a Pastor: “10 years ago, the Lord gave me a vision of the Full Gospel Business Men. The Lord showed me a very clear vision of the ministry at a very devastating point. Then, He showed that He would lift it up and it would come back with such fire, with such a rekindling and renewing. Clearly a renewing of healing, the Holy Spirit would move again and it would again come to the forefront as part of the great renewal and reviving of the last days. I called to give you a word of encouragement to tell you you're not dealing with a dying premise, you are dealing with a living promise. Absolutely, God is going to take this ministry, what you can't do in your own ability, what God has authorized for you to do, He is going to do through you! It wasn't by ability that it was built in the first place. It was by divine authority. And what was spoken out of His mouth, what He declared over FGBMFI, cannot come back until it has accomplished everything that it was sent out to do!”

This new generation that today knows not God , and is not the least bit interested… was born to prophesy! They were born to take back the territory that satan stole from their parents and grandparents. This new generation will be lifted up by the Spirit of God and will be faithful to the anointing, far more directed by the Spirit of God, and far more concerned for the will of our Heavenly Father. COME TO THE ANOINTING!
YOU HAVE COME TOO FAR TO MISS THE NEXT GREAT OUTPOURING OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT — THROUGH YOU — TO MANKIND!

If your heart longs like mine does for the fullness of the blessing of God, then join me for a few days for a time of spiritual refreshing.

FGBMFI – FROM MUD TO MIRACLES!
April 10 , 2008

FROM MUD TO MIRACLES!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

How were your eyes opened?
A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me
“Go to the pool of Siloam and wash,” and I went and washed and I received sight.

One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see!

There are covenant promises that God is making to those who are close enough to God to hear His heart. As the world rushes madly on its way, Jesus walked quiet streets to speak to those who were not so busy that they could not hear — and to bring miracles and sight to those who were not so blind that they could not recognize the Son of God.

There is a timing — a specific timing when God releases His promise to you.

Get ready to receive the promise of God. Get ready to receive His promise for your family. Get ready to receive His promise in your marriage. Get ready to receive His promise in your finances. Get ready to receive His promise of healing in your body.

“I am the Lord your healer.” (Ex. 15:26)     “The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.” (St. John 10:10)     “I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers.” (III John 2)     “And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered.” (Joel 2:32)

You may be sitting in a pile of mud, but if Jesus walks by and you recognize His presence, He will turn Your Mud into Your Miracle!

Now let me pray for you…
In the name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name before which all the hosts of heaven, earth and hell will bow, I break the foul spirit of satan that would bring sickness, disease and heartache upon those that are trusting in God. In Jesus' name, look up and see your deliverance through Jesus Christ. Lift up your hand and take hold of His hand. Reach out your faith and touch the Lord. And, in Jesus' name, be healed. Amen.


You're invited to a party! Over 120 nations will be there! Everyone will come to receive a miracle, to see Jesus, to receive the anointing, and to receive a word of prophecy!

If you think you have the vision… but you have never been to a World Convention, you haven't yet seen the vision. There with thousands of other Full Gospel Business men and women, you will receive a divine impartation, a prophetic word, an unusual anointing and a special gift from the Holy Spirit.

FGBMFI – THE BOOK OF ACTS IN MEXICO
April 4 , 2008

THE BOOK OF ACTS IN MEXICO
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Mario Garcia, FGBMFI President of Mexico, has been sharing the great things that God is doing with our men and women. 

Our Chapter President in Reynoso, Mexico was having a National Training Meeting.  There were about 120-130 men who were learning to work for God.

Outside the building a poor Mexican lady who works as a seamstress in a factory for $320 a month was walking by.  She had a hold of the hand of her beautiful 12 year old daughter who was walking alongside in a faded blue dress. 

The daughter's beauty was marred by a terrible skin disease.  It was so bad that the doctor said it would eventually kill her.  Blood was oozing from her neck, shoulders and arms.

Someone on the street said to the mother, “You should take your daughter inside, they're healing people in there!” 

The mother and daughter went in.  They were prayed for by our FGBMFI men and God totally and instantly healed the skin disease of the daughter!

They came back the next day to show the miracle.  The 12 year old daughter's skin was smooth and soft.  They say it was just as a little baby's skin would be!
This disease which could not be cured for 6 years and would lead to her death, was instantly cured by the power of God working through Full Gospel Business Men.

Praise the Lord!

Raul Ruiz, our Chapter President and accountant in Saltillo, Mexico, had been afflicted since birth by a twisted and withered hand.  One arm was 2 inches shorter than the other.

As faith rose in the meeting in Monterey, Mexico, another Chapter President prayed for him and instantly to the amazement of everyone, Raul's arm shot out and became the same length and both arms and hands were normal!  – Praise the Lord! 

Yes, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.”  Glory be to God!
Heaven is rejoicing.  Angels are waiting for you to step out in faith just so they can bring the miracle packages to you.

I look forward to seeing you at the World Convention.  We are going to have such a wonderful time.  Don't you want to come and meet these humble men who are doing mighty exploits in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?  Don't you want to meet those who have been healed?

John Carrette is raising an army in Florida.  We are expecting that many in Florida will stand up and receive the call of God even before the World Convention begins.
If you would like to go to Florida in advance and help raise this on-fire army, contact John at 949-309-8287 or jc@fgbmfifishers.com .

If you have never been to a World Convention and experienced the joy of people singing, rejoicing and testifying in many languages, then you have not yet understood the vision.

FGBMFI – URGENT PERSONAL PRAYER REQUESTS
April 2 , 2008

URGENT PERSONAL PRAYER REQUESTS
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

To My Dearest Friends,

At this time, Vangie and I know by the Spirit that this is the moment in time for great breakthroughs. 

I hear the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit whispering to my soul.  New gifts, new anointings and new ways of the Spirit are being prepared.

I'm asking you, to say a special prayer for your International Headquarters and for Vangie and I.  As soon as you receive this communication, let your prayer be heard.  Over the next three days, please unite your prayers with all of us around the world. 

There are new things about to be birthed and together we can pray them in.  There are breakthroughs in finance, in outreach, in souls and in favor!  As Ulf Ekman prophesied to my father and myself, there are new ways and new waves far beyond anything that you or your father have known in the past.

Vangie and I believe so strongly in the power of united prayer and I know you do too.  We are taking this very seriously and look forward to the future with great excitement. 

Vangie and I love you very much.

Richard Shakarian
International President

FGBMFI – Tony Blair
March 28, 2008

“But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.” 
(I Cor. 12:31, NIV)
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Vangie and I went to hear one of the greatest speakers of this generation:  His Excellency and former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Tony Blair.

In a jam packed SMU auditorium in Dallas, Mr. Blair spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of students, professors and the elite of the business world in Dallas.  After hearing him speak, we all wished that he could run to be President of the United States.

He got a standing ovation when he said that the electioneering process in Great Britain was only four weeks long!

Mr. Blair said when people criticize the United States he asks them, “Are more people trying to get in or are more people trying to get out?”

He made an observation about the Spirit of the American people.   He said, “Wherever they go, the Americans are always optimistic.”

Later, I went to Tulsa to review the procedures of the company that handles FGBMFI data processing.  Their concepts and procedures are one of the best in America.

Still later at Oral Roberts University, Joe Cannon, Sr., who is in charge of their Business Department had me teach two business classes including Advanced Business.  Well, I guess I had an opportunity to partially earn my unearned doctor's degrees. 

On Saturday, we had an incredible day of teaching FGBMFI men and women on strategies and tactics of reaching people for God and opening new chapters.  People came from several states.  Saturday night what a great night of joy, a sell-out crowd at one of the very top four-diamond restaurants in the entire state.  We had an absolutely great time and God seemed to bless each and every person.

God's plan for you is to live on the highest level.  To let His Glory shine brightly high above the crowd, and to bless you in every way.  We love you and I look forward to personally ministering to you at the World Convention, July 1-5, Orlando, Florida.  Register on our website fgbmfi.org.

FGBMFI – GOD AT WORK IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
March 4, 2008

GOD AT WORK IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Speakers included:
From the White House, Tim Goeglein – Special Assistant to the President
Ambassador Leila Rachid Lichi of Paraguay (great testimony!)
Tom Knox – (grandson of Ralph Marinacci); Founder and CEO, Senior corp
Motivational speaker: Frank Shelton – former Congressional staff
Dr. James Johnson – former Assistant Secretary, U.S. Navy

Special thanks to Jim Priddy and the entire Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia team that put on our wonderful D.C. Conference.

Wen Sun, Chapter President (NY) : “My heart was deeply moved by the Holy Spirit. My vision was stretched. Praise the Lord! Thank you for inviting me to do a 10-minute testimony in the Conference. Since the Lord has given me eight offices in the East Coast, I strongly believe that HE will also give me eight FGBMFI Fishing Chapters by applying "The Art of Multiplication". I am fired up, and I am ready for the FGBMFI World Convention July 1-5, 2008 in Orlando, Florida.”

Dr. Dave Leggett (OK) : “I was very positively impressed with the multiplication plan presentation and believe its implementation will be one of the hallmarks of reaching the goals that FGBMFI has set. I felt a sense of unity among the brethren at a level that surpasses that which I have ever felt before. I appreciated the strong sense of leadership and direction coming from our International President, Richard Shakarian.”

Roger Sonnesyn (MN) : “We found a well-coordinated program organized by Jim and Betty Priddy and other committee members from the mid-Atlantic chapters. Richard Shakarian rolled out to the assembled Directors of USA an anointed program for growth consistent with the historic evangelistic mission of the Fellowship but which breaks the mold for ministry. What a great conference!”

Gilbert Markarian (TX) : “I invited 3 men from Houston who came for the first time to a Full Gospel regional meeting. They all experienced the presence and power of God and were touched. They met the Full Gospel International leadership and were excited to see their enthusiasm and realness for soul winning. We experienced divine appointments and answers to prayers as a result of attending this great conference. God wants to touch America …and see you in July at the World Convention!”

George Segersbol (TX) : “Going to Washington, D.C. not only recharges me spiritually, not only gives me direction, but also revives the love for our nation in my heart.”

Joe Ortega (TX) : “One of the highlights of the conference was going to Bethesda Naval Hospital and praying for the soldiers. We told them we have come to honor them because they are serving our country. I enjoyed seeing and participating in fellowshipping with other directors and their wives, as well as interacting with the Hispanic chapters. Richard Shakarian spoke from his heart and the atmosphere changed.”

Mike Bond (IN) : “A great time of fellowship and sharing the vision for moving Full Gospel in the USA forward in the future. Very exciting plans and challenges to gather the army of over 1,000 for evangelism before, during, and after the 2008 World Convention in Orlando, Florida.”

Donna Vivian (OK) : “This regional conference was an inter-body ministry where everyone loved on each other and a lot of ministry occurred and the Holy Spirit was very powerful and nobody really wanted to leave. People everywhere fellowshipped with one another. Richard and Vangie were so relaxed and so full of love all the time. They were not as challenged with meetings and other things. It did the heart so good to see them. There is nothing I wouldn't do for Richard and Vangie. I love them so much. It was an all-around good meeting. The assistant to the White House was absolutely wonderful. There's always something good that comes from this conference. Wives brought up health information and shared thoughts with each other.”

First-timer a — Field Representative from New York : “So enlightened about FGBMFI; things I never knew before. The conference has encouraged me and my wife to come to the World Convention.”

New member (8 mos.) of a Virginia Chapter : “So encouraged – got the bigger picture of what FGBMFI is all about. Now I want to come to the World Convention.”

Betty Priddy (MD) : “I thought it was a really great conference. There was a lot of unity and love. I think the wives really got to know each other better because it was a smaller group and not as many meetings that the wives needed to attend. We got to share and bond with the others and meet the Directors. The speakers were exactly what we needed – excellent. Really enjoyed the Ambassador from Paraguay. The meetings were wonderful and not as long as usual – ended at a good time and the fellowship afterwards was great and brought us closer. Tom Knox was outstanding and his company has a great concept. The chaplain for Walter Reed was fabulous. The Holy Spirit orchestrated the entire event. Some of the participants got to pray for people in the hospitals. I believe there are more wonderful things to come from this conference.”

John Carrette (CA) : “We are focused on 'Harvest Florida' 1,000 men and ladies and many new chapters. In addition, every chapter in America is to add a new Marketplace Chapter.”

Dan Sanders (CA) : “How wonderful to meet so many of God's men and women strategically placed all across the United States — ready to win souls! Never in my life have I seen an organization so well positioned to be used by God to bring Awakening to America. I am so thankful and blessed to be a part of this great fellowship of believers. Praise God!”

Doug Raine (TX) : “Teams went out to the Crystal City marketplace reporting many salvations, Holy Spirit baptisms, and healings. Now the FIRE is ready to be ignited in each state. The enthusiasm of our leaders will take root as new chapters explode all over the USA.”

FGBMFI – THE GLORY CLOUD OVER FGBMFI LATIN LEADERS
February 19, 2008

THE GLORY CLOUD OVER FGBMFI LATIN LEADERS
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

The Glory Cloud came upon our Latin Leaders at San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Each year about this time the International President calls all the Latin Leaders for a Special Spiritual Orientation.  This began in 1999 when for the first time I introduced the concept of the Fire Team.  There we had 100 Latin Leaders gathered in Miami.  

As a result of going outside the chapters to the people, our men have reported praying with more than 4 million people!  And this is only in Latin America, and only outside the chapter.  Hundreds of thousands of others have received the Lord in our “testimony weekly chapter meetings.”  Worldwide the numbers are much higher!

This year there were 1,200 registered leaders from 19 nations.

The UNITY!  The Miracles!  The Testimonies!  The determination to reach every family for God in all 19 nations!

Some of the highlights –

  1. Men surged forward with tears to receive their anointing and their calling.
  2. God made Himself real as one of our men commanded the leg, and it grew out…it just shot out to normal length.  The healed man went ballistic!
  3. The incredible testimony from father and son telling how they trusted God when the son was kidnapped.  The whole story will make you cry as you hear the son tell how he prayed out loud for God to forgive his kidnappers (hear this testimony at the World Convention).
  4. Chico Fallas asked forgiveness and told the story of how he died and went to heaven.  Chico saw Jesus on the Via Delarosa and he asked Him to take away the pain from his open heart surgery and Jesus looked up at him from under the burden of the cross with such love in His eyes.  Jesus' love overcame his pain.
  5. LOVE and Christian brotherhood was overwhelming throughout the 3 days!

His Excellency Vice President Elvin Ernesto Santos opened our conference with  wonderful comments and a proclamation.  I asked him if I could pray for him and his nation.  He took my hand and I held it up and prayed a very powerful anointed prayer.  The Vice President was visibly impacted and our men shouted the victory
of God!

We want to give special thanks to Dr. Pinel, FIHNEC-FGBMFI National President of Honduras, all the Honduras team, and especially all the San Pedro Sula team who organized and made this such a special event.

The Honduras men and women determined that they would treat everyone with an overflowing love of Christ, and we all felt the love.

FGBMFI – THE ANOINTING IN AMERICA
February 8, 2008

THE ANOINTING IN AMERICA
RICHARD SHAKARIAN


Throughout the world, men and women of Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship are following the example of Jesus.

Today our people are reaching out to others, lifting the fallen, and helping those in need. It reminds me of the announcement of Jesus when He said,

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon me,
    for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
  He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
    that the blind will see,
  that the oppressed will be set free.” (Luke 4:18)

The anointing breaks the chain of sorrow in people's lives. Following are examples of how people are responding to the inner call to begin working with FGBMFI.

Buena Park, CA
Mark Chakerian, our Chapter President, noticed the picture of 96-year-old world-renowned jazz musician and ukulele player, Bill Tapia. His ukulele students included Shirley Temple, Clark Gable and Louis Armstrong and many other celebrities. He was being honored by being inducted into the Ukelele Hall of Fame.

After reading the article, Mark felt he should invite Bill Tapia to his chapter meeting. As he was driving home praying for a sign, after only 30 seconds, a moving van with the name TAPIA moving company in large letters drove by. He felt that this was his answer. At the chapter meeting, Tapia played some beautiful Hawaiian and jazz selections from the 1930's-1940's (he didn't know any gospel songs). And before the end of the meeting, he received the Lord. Now on January 1, 2008 he turned 100 years old.

Just some of the USA calls to John Carrette, International V.P.:
Jonesborough, TN — "God has been stirring up my heart, I feel I must start working for God." Tony Smith, former Kiwanis Club Divisional
Lt. Governor: “I know a lot of people here in Tennessee and we are going to start a good chapter.”

Colorado — "I live in a little town and I want to know do you have a chapter in my town?" NancyTomeda
When John said, “There's no chapter there, but would you like to help start one?” The glory came down as they prayed together. She called back and said, “I have friends in 3 towns around my home, and we want to start chapters in all 3 of these towns.”

DeSoto, TX — “Glory! I got saved in Rochester, NY at an FGBMFI chapter! I don't know, but something is happening. The Holy Spirit is moving on my heart. Since I got saved, I have ministered in 89 Indian nations (reservations) in America! And now, God is stirring me to start FGBMFI chapters in the Indian nations. I am so excited. This is a big open door because there are 601 Indian nations in America! Glory!” Earl Finn

Wadsworth, OH — “What's going on?” I heard God say to me, “Full Gospel Business Men, why am I calling you?”
John answered, “We have been praying that the Holy Spirit would call men and women who want to be used of God into the work of Full Gospel Business Men. That's why you called!” Charles Burger

San Francisco, CA — “I'm a young man selling advertising at a Christian radio station, and I found out there's no chapter right in this immediate area. Please send me a Chapter Starter Kit so I can start a FGBMFI chapter.” Phillip Muella

Tehachapi, CA — “Honey, is God going to spew us out of His mouth?” asked Ken's wife. “Why?” “Because I read in the Bible that if we're not hot or cold, He will spew us out and we haven't done anything for Him since we've been saved 3 years ago.”
As a result, Ken called his friends together and started a FGBMFI chapter. Ken Van de Venter

FGBMFI – DO YOU WANT TO BE USED BY GOD?
February 1, 2008

DO YOU WANT TO BE USED BY GOD?
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Jesus told Nicodemus, “Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.” (John 3:6 NLT)

Have you ever wanted to be all that God wants you to be?

Ulf Ekman prophesied to the Fellowship, "I have called you an army, and an army you shall be!"

He then went on to say, "It's more than methods; it's a distinct impartation of things, I WANT TO GIVE TO THE BODY OF CHRIST through this ministry, and you'll know what it is. In the time of need, the keys will be there and the strength will come forth and the task will be fulfilled in Jesus' name."

Gently the Holy Spirit is whispering to many, "Come and be led by the Holy Spirit. Come up higher, beyond salvation, beyond the initial filling of the Holy Spirit, beyond refillings to birth pangs. The groaning of the Spirit over the vast harvest in the earth."

Like David my soul cries out, "I shall be anointed with fresh oil."

Take the step of faith from carnality to being led by the Spirit.

Liberty is for you. As you take the steps of faith out of the bondage of Egypt. Believe as the Israelites did that God will bring you out of your present condition loaded with silver and gold and not a sick person in your family.

Receive this distinct impartation
How to be used of God
How to heal the sick
How to walk in victory
How to have peace in your marriage
How to bring someone together with God

God told Moses, "There is a lamb, and there is the saving of one person (the firstborn) for every family in the nation of Israel - and of Egypt if they will only believe!" The act of belief saved Israel and unbelief condemned Egypt.

When I started the Fire Teams I didn't realize that these words had been given to Moses. Among the seven prophecies that he gave to me was the command to pray for one person in every family. "That person will become God's seed in the family. And through the families the nation shall be saved."

God will give you the seed. He will give you the favor. He will direct your steps to health, strength, peace, and financial blessing.

Come and receive this divine impartation!
San Pedro Sula, Honduras February 7-9.
Washington, D.C. February 21-23.

San Pedro Sula, February 7-9
If you want to be used of God - if you want to be more effective, then come and bring your spouse, your friend, and especially bring someone who needs to hear from God.

Because the anointing is so strong, we are inviting not only the National Leaders, but we are also inviting all Latin Chapter Leaders, members, wives and friends to come .

Come get under the anointing and you will be healed — you will know God in a new way — you will see God undertake in your family situation — and I know that God will give you favor and breakthroughs in your finances .

Make your reservation today. Contact Edwin Bendeck at (504) 669-3767; ebendeck@madexhn.com or Stuart Nasser at (504) 556-9465; stuart@travel-honduras.com .

Washington, D.C., February 21-23

Come receive your divine impartation at the beautiful
Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel , 1700 Jefferson Davis Highway,
Arlington, Virginia (just outside Washington, D.C.).

To register for this conference please call
Jim Priddy — mobile (410) 610-7774; home (41) 326-4339
Jim has special hotel rates just for you.

Come and bring someone who needs a miracle!

FGBMFI – National Business Development
January 24, 2008

RICHARD SHAKARIAN

“Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.” (Isaiah 55:5)

BECAUSE FGBMFI IS RECEIVING INVITATIONS FROM
HEADS OF STATE, TO HELP DEVELOP THEIR NATIONS…
We are pleased to announce that we have established the Board of Governors dedicated for the purpose of the Business Development of Nations. 

The Board of Governors shall be responsible for the international policy for collaboration with Governments of underdeveloped economies to contribute to their competitiveness and economic growth. 

Our focus shall be on education, encouraging entrepreneurship, training, technology, product development, development of infrastructure, and creating the base for innovation and global competitiveness.

All of us are familiar with the incredible work of the Fellowship, raising the economies of nations as a result of praying with hundreds of thousands of people within the borders of a single nation.  Then favor and blessing came upon those nations.
Now , we are receiving invitations from Heads of State to come into their nations with the intention to help develop their nation.

This is an incredible open door of opportunity for FGBMFI to
bring the love of God to the nations .

The Board of Governors' team is led by Mr. Danny Mawuenyega, who (along with Bro. Darko) participated with the International team and successfully reduced Ghana's external debt by $8 billion dollars!  The other members of our team are a retired judge – a retired bank executive – and a CEO of a large insurance company.

With this step FGBMFI has entered into a higher level of our calling which is to see the vision fulfilled around the world. 

The International Board of Governors term will be for one year, appointments and reappointments will be by the International President, along with the review by the International Board of Directors.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew and approved of you, as my chosen instrument, and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; and I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.  See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms.

Therefore hear, O Gentile nations, and know, O congregation of believing ones, what great things I will do to them.”  (Jeremiah Chapters 1 & 6)

WASHINGTON, D.C. – February 21-23, 2008 – You can network with business leaders from around the world and discover that you are not alone, then listen as distinguished executives and congressional staff share their secrets to both business and personal success and fulfillment.
At the Marriot Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Virginia.

SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS - February 7-9, 2008
Chapter leaders, friends and National Officers are gathering for the annual Summit conducted by our International President.
This year there will be a heavy emphasis in the prophetic — and special teaching for families for finance, for empowerment and for effective service to God.
Come and be strengthened in your calling and destiny in FGBMFI.

From Dubai – Telephone report. Praise God a new Chapter is being formed!

Ambassador Jackey Beavers is really stirring up the country in Cartersville, Georgia. He is enjoying the healings, miracles and signs and wonders that God is providing. You may remember Jackey from the famous “Devil Stomp” song. GO – JACKEY GO!

French Africa – February 15 & 16 we will be having an important meeting with the leaders of all French-speaking Africa in Bamako, Mali. We are planning outreach teams and it will be an interesting experience in a country which is only 2.5 percent Christian. Our aim is to help the nations to be increasingly fired up in the vision and to see the multiplication.

France – “Alain Jorel was elected as President. François De Beauchéne and Jacques Delgrange Vice Presidents.” And René Agrain will continue in the National Office and other capacities.

Southeast Asia - “We hold 3 Men's Camps each year in 4 different regions of the country to train men to do the work of the Great Commission. God is faithful, He sent the German teams and the Nigeria teams to help. We are giving Full Gospel men a real foundation and they are becoming very well grounded in FGBMFI. This work is effective in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia.” Komol Antakon

Greetings from Australia – “Thanks for your emails re 'Global Praise & Worship' which were forwarded to others. In the Brisbane area we have arranged for Friday night 11th January 2008.”

“It's good to give thanks to the LORD, and sing praises to Your Name, Oh Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And your faithfulness every night.” (Psalm 92:1-2) Bernie Gray


Thank you FGBMFI prayer teams. You worshipped God and prayed for the many who had sent in prayer requests, and God has heard your prayer.

Around the world from Australia to Asia to Germany throughout Africa, UK and North and South America FGBMFI men and women lifted their voice in praise and worship. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Just a sample – Someone in Bangkok, Thailand was praying through for the healing of someone in Nigeria!

From Lagos , “We are fully set to praise and worship the Lord on Friday and Saturday. Together we look forward to the victory for FGBMFI in all the Nations. More anointing and favor for the International President Bro. Richard.” Dr. Olubanjo

Munich, Germany – The global praise, “In the upper room of our home Chapter Munich members with their families linked into the 'Global Praise & Worship' chain on Saturday. We had a very intense and joyful time with the LORD and we felt the anointing and experienced the liberty of the Holy Spirit. During worship time the Lord showed a picture of an island surrounded by rough sea with high waves with the message 'you have problems to fully concentrate on ME because you are concerned with too many worldly things, but I am happy about your worship and I bless you and nothing can harm you. I will bring you safe to the destination, as I am sitting with you in the boat!” Roland Benz


“A generous man grows prosperous, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” (Prov. 11:25 NEB)

GLOBAL PRAISE AND WORSHIP THIS WEEK
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

2008 is the year of new beginnings!

This Friday and Saturday please join with FGBMFI members and friends in an around-the-world Praise Meeting. For two days as the world turns — Let the Lord look down from heaven and hear our praises and pure worship of Him.

Just like those praisers who marched in front of God's army — we will be the praisers that march in front of God's army of FGBMFI. God was pleased with His praisers and He gave the victory.

As you praise Him in spirit and in truth — He will be pleased and your obstacles will fall flat in 2008! You can bring in your victory! Join us by having a Praise Meeting in your home this Friday and/or Saturday.

Jesus said
“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

As you send in your prayer requests, we will let the world know (unless you ask us not to). Imagine people all over the world will be praying for you — and I also will be your agree-er.

Send prayer requests to prayer.fgbmfi@gmail.com

Please pray for these people:
