YEAR-END GIVING
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Dear Partners and Friends, during this holiday season we ask that you prayerfully consider helping FGBMFI to continue to reach a lost world with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This year we prayed face-to-face with about 4 million people.

The year-end is a wonderful time to remember giving to the Lord. If you have already paid your pledge you may want to add an extra year-end gift.

I've just returned from two weeks in Africa. We saw the Lord do great things. However, to my dismay, I discovered that an ice storm in the Midwest had delayed our mailing to our partners and friends. This delay has hurt, and we ask you to prayerfully do your best at this time.

Just some of the miracles that we saw God do in 2007:

World-wide FGBMFI prayer and praise meeting

Last year, we began with a 21-day fast. Immediately we began seeing miracles for the Fellowship.

This year, we are beginning the year with 2 days of pure prayer and praise!

We have set aside January 11 and 12, 2008 as our special time of praise.

2008 is a year of new beginnings. And we are beginning by an around-the-world time of prayer. As the world turns and as the Lord looks down from heaven, let there not be one moment when He does not hear the praises of FGBMFI men and women. We are like the advance praisers going before the army of God. We are marching into the New Year, and as we blow the trumpet on Saturday night, let the walls fall flat. Believe God that every form of bondage, every wall that is hindering your blessing, your family, your destiny, shall fall flat before the praises of God's mighty world-wide army, the FGBMFI.

What a mighty victory! Join with us. Let us know by email that you are praying. We will be posting the prayer requests from all over the world. If you want people from Nigeria to Indonesia to South America praying for you and your family, just drop us an email at prayer.fgbmfi@gmail.com .

For praise reports and to let us know that you are praying and praising with us, email to login.fgbmfi@gmail.com . Together we will enter God's victory!

Please don't forget your year-end giving — date your check this year so we can credit your giving — thank you very much.

RICHARD SHAKARIAN
BLESSINGS IN GHANA, AFRICA! Night after night the African night rang out with the praises of the people:
YESU! — YESU! — YESU!
OSEEEEE — YEA!
YESU OOO — YEA!
YEA — I!
MIRACLES, MIRACLES, MIRACLES! Healing flowed like water!
The joy! The dancing! The praising of the Lord!

It was the national celebration of Ghana's 50 years of freedom from colonialism. Richard Shakarian was a special guest of honor invited by Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, Dr. Isaac Ababio, Rev. Godfried Bamfo and The Rt. Rev. Dr. Yaw Frimpong—Mason to the National Independence Square.

FGBMFI in Ghana has a new fire. Yes, FGBMFI is in the process of multiplying our chapters and members throughout Ghana. We have a great FGBMFI team under the leadership of brother Ati.

CONGRATULATIONS NIGERIA

Nigeria is mightily blessed and is the first nation to give over $50,000 as its tithes and offerings in line with the International Financial Guidelines approved during the last World Convention.

Our host was Dr. Olubanjo and under his leadership, they are expecting to add 100-200 chapters just in the city of Lagos this year.

Nigeria has increased to about 1,450 chapters. Everywhere you go in Nigeria, FGBMFI is bringing men and women to God.

The Nigerian President Bunmi Adedeji has been appointed as the International Regional Vice President for the new region of Nigeria, and he will remain President as well.

Azike Diribe remains the International Vice President for the region of West Africa. However, the region is modified to exclude Nigeria which now becomes its own region.

While I was in Nigeria, Senator Fred Brume introduced me to two former Presidents of Nigeria. Both of these heads of State knew all about FGBMFI. Our new friends are:
His Excellency General Yakubu Gowon
His Excellency Chief Ernest Sonekan

Don't forget – we start 2008 with 2 days of praise – January 11-12. Please organize a time of praise and worship to the Lord.

Richard   &   Vangie
with love to our

Full Gospel Business Mens Fellowship Family

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Vangie and I are blessed to have supportive, generous partners and friends like you. We love you very much.

2008 is the year of new beginnings!

The Prophetic Word

“His prophetic word: The year 2008 is a year of great beginnings.
What we have already seen is just the start. Prepare for the Glory. This year His Glory is coming. The world has counted God out, but they are in for a surprise. He has just begun.”

Many of us began 2007 with a 21-day fast. It has been a year of victory and completion.

Now, we begin 2008 with 2 days of pure praise and worship to the Lord.

Friday, January 11, and/or Saturday, January 12 , in home meetings, in restaurants, in hotels, in our offices - we will worship the Lord. Choose either one or both days.

Around the globe we proclaim
Let every Chapter in every nation . . . lift its voice in praise, worship and prophecy, magnifying the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As the world turns . . . let the Lord and heaven continuously hear the praises, and receive the worship of God's precious FGBMFI men and women.

We are the advance guard of praisers “marching before the vast army of God.”

Just as in Joshua's army the praisers brought the favor of God and the walls came crashing down. What a mighty victory! So let it be for your life, and for all the FGBMFI family around the globe!

Around the beautiful earth follow the Vision - in praise . Across America - Central and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Israel, Russia, Asia, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Australia, let there not be a silent moment for 2 days.

Let heaven smell the sweet fragrance of our singing and praise. Sing in the Spirit. From your inner being let all FGBMFI men and women rejoice in the Lord.

Open your heart and receive great things from God. His thoughts are higher. He is good. Let Him speak to you of greatness in the expansion of His kingdom, and in your business.

FGBMFI is anointed by God . Only heaven knows our total combined effectiveness.

The Holy Spirit has expanded our borders. Listen as He whispers: “The harvest . . . the harvest . . . the harvest.”

Just in Honduras alone, Dr. Pinel reports 935,000 people praying the sinner's prayer with our men and women. This is just for 9 months this year and - only for 1 nation!

The Spirit is focusing FGBMFI to be the spearhead of God's vast harvest.
The multitudes are crying to be set free! Lift up your eyes . . . and see the multitudes in the same way God sees them.

In prayer I was impressed
120 million souls . . .
This is the FGBMFI portion just in the immediate next few years! This is just the beginning!

As we commit, and do the work of the harvest - God's promises are . . .

“Then I will multiply you as the sand of the seas - and you shall shine as the stars, through the coming darkness. Lift up my name . . . tell of my goodness and my love . . . set the captives free.”

“Do my work - and my hand of favor will be upon your prayers, your family, your business, remember your destiny is in my hands. Oh, worship ye the Lord.”

Just some of the miracles that we saw God do in 2007:

• The 9 yr. old girl who had never walked before - healed as our Fire Team prayed for her. Then on Saturday night her parents brought her dressed in a beautiful white dress with pink ribbons. As she walked unsteadily across the stage like a little child everyone wept.
• 4 yr. old boy whose arches were instantly healed as he sat in my lap. We were all startled because the arches instantly popped into normal position.
• Ghana : The man with a 4 inch short foot - in an instant totally healed.
• Mexico : The young businessman, former drug lord, now saved, now in a legitimate business and now he is president of his father's Chapter.
• Nicaragua : The Pharaoh's casino owner who gave his life to Christ and resigned from the casino.
• Nicaragua : The Fire Team in Chinandega where 230,123 prayed to receive Christ in one week.
• Honduras : The Fire Team which brought Christ's message to 15,000 workplaces and over 500,000 received Christ face-to-face.
• The World Convention in Panama where 1,500 came to receive Christ in 1 night and many were healed.
• The Prophetic Revelation in Houston which in real time told us events that were happening in the Middle East right then! Hidden things revealed in real time!
• The USA Chinese FGBMFI Convention in Irvine , California where joy and praises broke out upon the 1,200 guests.
• The favor of God - given to me with the top 60 bishops of the Soviet Union .
• The large business breakthrough that came after much prayer.

Lift up your hearts, lift up your hands, the wind of the Spirit is blowing . . .
Stand before the Spirit — let the Spirit overwhelm you and cleanse you anew, and the Spirit will refresh your roots and you will blossom — you will glow with the brilliance of a thousand stars as the Spirit anoints you for the coming of His Glory

Listen as the Lord speaks with a bold voice to your spirit of great things!

Remember in the cool of the evening, the breeze gently blew . . .
then the Lord God came down and walked and talked with Adam.

So shall it be,
in the cool of the evening as you worship Him in spirit and in truth, once again - the Lord God will come down. He will walk, and talk with your spirit.

We are renewing our dedication to our Lord Jesus Christ - and our commitment to FGBMFI. We are anticipating the fire of the Glory of God. A greater harvest of souls in every nation will be the result. Expect God to answer our prayers. Jesus has already won the victory - now let us receive it!

Vangie and I love you very much,
you are part of our family.

P.S.:
Send your prayer requests for your family, nation, and your business - as soon as possible:We will list your personal prayer request with thousands of intercessors. Around the world, and our intercessors will be praying for you!Expect your answer - send us the praise report!Email prayer requests to: prayer.fgbmfi@gmail.com .

We are asking every nation to let us know the number of Chapters in each city, that are praying January 11 & 12.

The listing of nations and cities will be reported to the world so that we can all rejoice together.

Prayer meetings, Chapter, and nation check in - please email to: login.fgbmfi@gmail.com .

ChampionsGate, Florida 33896

From The Golfer to Beat — Ron Weinbender
ATTENTION GOLFERS !

Our convention hotel boasts 36 holes of world-class championship golf on two distinct courses designed by internationally renowned golf champion Greg Norman. It is also the world headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy, where some of the top tour professionals hone their game. Consequently, we would like to add a special feature this year. If there is enough interest, a Charity Golf Tournament could be scheduled prior to start of the Convention that would enable us to invite unsaved friends and business associates, and hopefully introduce them to Jesus and the work of the Fellowship.

Two golf events would consist of a 9-hole tournament with Richard Shakarian for non-serious players, and an 18-hole tournament with Ron Weinbender for the more serious golfers. The cost will depend on the number of participants.

(Tentative)
FGBMFI Charity Golf Tournament
Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate

(You may need to arrive a day earlier depending on your point of origin)

Please let me know by December 15, 2007, so we can complete plans for the golf event. More information on the resort and golf facilities can be found at www.omniorlandoresort.com .

If you need a VISA letter, contact our office immediately via email:
dzinyefa.fgbmfi@gmail.com

Soon you will be able to register on the FGBMFI web site for all functions relating to the 2008 World Convention which may also include a Holy Land Experience Tour in Orlando for the entire family.

However, the purpose of this communiqué is to determine the level of interest among our members and friends for a golf tournament. Please reply to me at rweinbender@hotmail.com as promptly as possible, but no later than December 15, 2007.

VICTORY! HONDURAS REPORTS
934,146 people prayed with so far in 2007!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

We have just returned from an incredible meeting with all of the presidents of the FGBMFI Latin nations in Costa Rica. For 2 days we received the reports of a spiritual firestorm sweeping across the Latin nations.

From Fire Teams to Fishing Chapters to adding 100 new chapters in a year the wind of the Spirit is lifting us to a new level with God. Yes, our men and women are soaring with the Spirit!

The hallmarks of this successful revival and incredible harvest are:

Focus : Day and night, night and day our Latin brothers and sisters are focused on inviting new people to the chapters and on doing the work of God through FGBMFI.

Willingness to Change : Our Latin chapters have moved away from being miniature church services or preaching services and have moved mightily toward the multiplication principle that I described in my book, “The Art of Multiplication”. This is the fastest growing, chapter reproducing, soul-winning model we have in the Fellowship. Because of this multiplication effect we are believing to see in reality what my father, Demos, saw in the Vision.

Obedience : Willingness to lay aside one's own earthly cares and join the army of God in selfless dedication to the Vision of FGBMFI.

Giving : Constantly giving our testimony, constantly giving to God from our earnings, constantly giving love and constantly receiving His abundant blessings.

Brothers and sisters, you are making heaven a very noisy place. Because of you, because you are constantly bringing people to God, the angels in heaven are continuously singing the praises of God and shouting the victory that they are enjoying because of your faithfulness. Yes, you are building the kingdom of God.

YOU ARE INVITED

You are invited to the glorious “All Latin International Leader Summit”.

This is an open event; you can come even if you're not Latin!

This grand convention will be held in the beautiful Arab Club in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, February 7-9, 2008.

We are inviting all chapter leaders, all teachers, all the Ladies of the Fellowship, all the youth to join with all the National Directors and their wives at this great event.

Once before in Honduras many saw the angels in our convention. We expect this to happen again. There will be the presence of Jesus Christ, the Captain of the Lord's army. There will be the awesome presence of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. There will be joy, healing, happiness, testimonies, changed lives, blessed marriages.

You will learn the secret of this incredible success and the great harvest in Latin America. Come and take the secret and the anointing and the healing and the blessing back home with you.

RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Just to let you know…

We had a wonderful Open House and Shish Kabob last Saturday night, celebrating the answer to prayer for a building that is suitable for the responsibility that the international must conduct around the planet.

A year ago, we did not have such a place. The prophet told us to go on a 21-day fast, and that 2007 would be a wonderful year.

We fasted — and almost immediately at the conclusion of our fast, this building became available.

This has been an incredible year because we have seen almost 3 million people pray with our Chapters and Outreach teams face to face.

To help us celebrate…
Several came from Sweden, others that we did not know saw it on the web site and came to see what God is doing. Many old friends joined us from around America, including a large delegation of our FGBMFI Chinese members.

We had a wonderful, anointed and blessed time. Everyone that came into the offices felt the anointing and presence of Jesus.

The Armenian dinner was about the best you can get on earth, before you go to heaven for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Following the dinner, we worshipped God in music, and shared the vision for the next 10 years. We were also blessed by our friend Mel Tari, who was there with his family. Mel gave a wonderful, 12-minute message,
“The glory of God – is back in FGBMFI in America!”

We love all of you, and are only sorry that because of distance you were not able to be with us to enjoy this incredible time of
Fellowship – Food – Fun – Anointing – and receiving from the Holy Spirit.

GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME
THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

We are living in a time of economic and political uncertainty. I felt led to share this word with FGBMFI men and women throughout the world. Many of our people own their own business; others are working for large companies. We are all affected by global changes that are taking place around us. PEACE BE UNTO YOU.

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Prov. 3:5-6

“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.” Psalm 5:11

“The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18:2

“The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.” Psalm 34:22

“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalm 91:4

Regardless what you read in the news, the Lord is our Rock and our Salvation.

If you need specific prayer for your business, please feel free to email me. I have personally experienced that whether up or down, high or low, the strong arm of the Lord has always picked me up and lifted me. Right now, imagine the hand of the Lord right there in your room. The hand that created the universe; the controlling hand of all eternity is right there with you. Just lift up your hand right now and take hold of His hand. Yes, all fear is leaving. Now, with the anointing you can receive the strong guidance of the Lord in your financial affairs.

For special prayer just email me at: rshakarian@aol.com .

THE ANOINTING IN RUSSIA
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

This weekend I was privileged to be a special guest in Atlanta, GA, with our dear friend Slavick Radchuk and 60 Bishops representing 50,000 churches in 20 nations from the old Soviet Union.

I was humbled to be in the presence of men and women who have suffered for the cause of Christ. Some had been put into prison. However, all remained true.

If you had been with me, I'm sure it would have been as hard for you as it was for me not to shed a tear as you heard the incredible stories of faith.

It is truly an act of God to build the kingdom of God, reaching thousands of people, and stretching to 50,000 churches under persecution.

The bishops were so kind to me.

Almost every one of the 1,500 participants had read “The Happiest People on Earth” in Russian. They could relate to the story of my family and the persecution of the Armenian people.

The bishops treated your International President with great honor.

They even asked me to speak at the two major events.

I am most excited because they have all offered to help us reach the business people in the 20 nations of the former Soviet Union.

My friend, Slavick Radchuk, is one of the most unusual and anointed servants of God. He has personally started more than 500 churches. He is looked up to by all the bishops and pastors of Russia. At the age of 12, in school, he was singled out by the teacher and called an American spy. He received the persecution of the other children, and later in life was jailed for preaching the Gospel. He brings an anointing for dedication that I have seldom seen, and we will be using him in our events.

May the Lord continue His grace upon all our nations. May the Lord give us His anointing and the liberty to freely proclaim the testimony of broken chains by our Lord Jesus Christ.

May the Lord open for you His storehouse…
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

“May the Lord open for you His storehouse of goodness, and open the heavens, to provide rain for your land, and bless you and all your handiwork…” Deut. 28:12

Kim Clement
“God says this is a season of receiving. There was a time when it was not a time to receive but God says now is a season of receiving. Now is a season of restoration. Now is a season to gather. Now is the season to bring in. Now is the season to rejoice, and now is the season of joy.”

Dr. Pinel – Honduras
Dr. Pinel, the FGBMFI President for Honduras, reports — The greatest outreach in the history of the Fellowship. 15,000 meetings were conducted by the more than 1,000 volunteers from Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and other nations. Dr. Pinel reports that during the course of the week, more than 500,000 people (yes, that's five hundred thousand) prayed with our men and women. It is safe to say that the Fellowship in Honduras has a new vision of the great harvest. Because of their faithfulness, we are expecting the Chapters to multiply. Praise God.

Riga, Latvia
Rodney Radcliff of London reports some of the guest list for the upcoming Riga FGBMFI dinner banquet. We are omitting the names, but giving you their titles:

Vice Mayor of Riga; HM British ambassador to Latvia; Director, Blackheads house and Director of Academy of Art (Previously minister of culture); Director and Medical Director of James Armitstead, University Children's Hospital; Chairman Teikas Nami; Architect Director, Riga Antiquities; Finance and Administration, Baltic Distribution Company; Board member, British C of C.

John Carrette
In the last few weeks, people are getting our phone number off the FGBMFI web page and calling in saying that they have been wanting to do more for God, and when they prayed the Spirit directed them to Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship. Many would weep as they called because they were feeling such a powerful sense of the presence of the Lord. They are asking to see the power, miracles, and people coming to the Lord.

The calls are coming from all over the United States. Wisconsin, California, Colorado, Washington, New Hampshire, Missouri, Ohio, and Florida.

WORLD CONVENTION JULY 2008
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

2008 WORLD CONVENTION AND GOLF TOURNAMENT
Golf Tournament – Monday, June 30, 2008 – Arrive by Sunday, June 29th.

WORLD CONVENTION
Tuesday, July 1, 2008 to Saturday night, July 5th – Leave Sunday, July 6th.

OMNI HOTELS (A brand new fabulous hotel – Orlando, FL)
1500 Masters Boulevard, Champions Gate, FL 33896, (407) 390-6664, (407) 238-6513 Fax, (407) 238-6510 Direct, www.omnihotels.com

If you need a VISA letter, please contact our office immediately.
Email: d_agbokou@hotmail.com – and we will send you a VISA letter.

Since the Hotel Golf Course is the home of David Leadbetter Golf Academy, one of the premier Golf instructors in the world, we were thinking of having a Golf Tournament on Monday, June 30th, prior to the start of the Convention. It would enable us to invite some of our unsaved friends to a Charity Golf outing and introduce them to the Fellowship, and hopefully to Jesus.

The qualifying question… What is the level of interest among our World Convention attendees?

We are thinking of having two golf events prior to the official start of the World Convention. The one event would be a 9-hole tournament for non-serious golf players with Richard Shakarian. And, an 18-hole golf tournament for the serious golfers with Ron!

Roy Brian and I were at the Hotel and signing the contract for this year's Convention, and we saw Michelle Wie and Charles Howell, two of the World Class Professional Golfers, which happens to be where they do most of their practicing.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON COMING TO THE CONVENTION AND WOULD YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE GOLF? The costs will depend on the number of golfers and be spelled out in a later communiqué. Please let me know right away by email.

HOLD ON TO JESUS
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].

Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.

In times of trouble remember Jesus.

It was the middle of the night when the storm was crashing against the little boat on the Sea of Galilee. The storm was so strong that even experienced fishermen thought that they would die. Then, they remembered Jesus.

Jesus was in the back of the boat, quietly sleeping on a pillow.

Jesus is in your boat, and He hasn't got out yet!

“Master, wake up! Don't you care that we are about to die!”

Jesus looked at the wind whipped waves, he raised His hand and said, “Peace. Peace be still.” The storm quickly subsided.

The winds which blew down from the mountains to the Sea of Galilee at certain seasons and caused great waves, havoc and loss of life, were suddenly calmed by one word from Jesus.

One word from Jesus is all you need!
And your storm will subside!

Whatever you are going through, if you are holding the hand of the Creator, He will bring you through. He will take you over to the other side!

No one can stop you from your destiny but you! Don't let go of the hand of Jesus.

Sorry we have not been able to get our emails out as quickly as usual. My life is focused on winning souls, and this entire Headquarters office is focused on winning souls. We are pushing hard to reach all the nations of the world. The Holy Spirit is calling us to reach out and bring millions of people to Christ — AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING!

You are invited to join us at our International Headquarters to see exactly how the various departments are reaching out to touch the world. On Saturday, November 3rd, we will have an Open House during the day from 11am - 4pm. At 5:30pm, we will have a wonderful shish kabob dinner with all the trimmings. Many FGBMFI leaders are gathering from all over the world and all over America. I want to personally invite you to get right in the middle of the miracle of the 3 million souls we are expecting to report that we have PERSONALLY PRAYED WITH in 2007. We are getting ready for the year 2008. 8 is the number of new beginnings and God is going to give us a GREAT 2008 .

You have to make reservations because there is limited space for the dinner. To order your tickets call 1-949.461.0100 and ask for Jennifer or Charlotte. They will be glad to help you. Have your credit card ready.

If you are coming from a distance, come a few days early and enjoy our conference room, our prayer rug, and the fellowship with various department heads. We are looking forward to a wonderful time of celebrating God's goodness to FGBMFI with our wonderful partners and friends.

ANOINTING AND UNITY IN EUROPE
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

We just returned from a glorious meeting of anointing and unity in Europe.

Over 20 nations gathered in Innsbruck, Austria, as the blessing of the Lord came down like a blizzard in the Austrian Alps. FAVOR — FAVOR OF GOD IS ON FGBMFI!

A new wind is blowing in Europe. FGBMFI is no longer concerned with unity, but rather with explosive multiplication of souls, of people and Chapters by the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Again and again, the Holy Spirit is pushing Europe to new ways and new growth. God is preparing FGBMFI to bring in the harvest of 20 centuries !

Albania Croatia Finland Hungary Luxembourg Poland Slovakia Ukraine

Austria Cyprus France Israel Malta Portugal Spain Ireland

Belgium Czechia Germany Italy Netherlands Romania Sweden United Kingdom

Bulgaria Denmark Greece Latvia Norway Russia Switzerland

These are the mighty FGBMFI nations in Europe.
There was a wonderful surge of blessing as the leaders and I prayed for the new nations.
Get ready…
Europe Shall Be Saved!   Europe Shall Be Saved!   Europe Shall Be Saved!

THE ANOINTING BREAKS THE YOKE RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Isaiah prophesied that “The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing!”

All over the world anointed testimonies from the actual true life stories of our men and women are breaking the yoke of bondage from thousands of people.

The anointing — comes with a fresh relationship!
A fresh relationship with Jesus — brings the anointing!
A returning to our first love of Christ and a hungering after God in our heart brings the anointing!

CONGRATULATIONS HONDURAS AND DR. PINEL, AND OUR ENTIRE FIRED UP HONDURAS FGBMFI TEAM.

This has been an incredible week in Honduras. Our men and women have reached out on perhaps the largest FIRE TEAM OUTREACH ever! With 7 or 8 million people in Honduras, there is an abundance of lost souls to reach. Eternity is being changed by the willingness and dedication of our fabulous Honduran team.

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA
As you read this email, Vangie and I will be with 300 of our top on-fire leaders in Europe. We are meeting in Innsbruck, Austria, hosted by our dear brother Franz Kren and the Austrian, Swiss, and German FGBMFI.

Leaders from over 20 nations will be there, and we are expecting a brand new outpouring of the Holy Spirit on everyone.

I wish you could be with us and hear the incredible fresh life-changing testimonies of the Europeans! Yes, Europe is changing!

WEHINGEN, GERMANY — AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!
Vangie and I have spent a few days with our friends Wayne and Irene Negrini here in the quaint little German village of Wehingen. This happens to be where they have built the most incredible hotel, conference center, day spa, wellness clinic, church, and outreach to the German business community.

We have been amazed. It seemed that every young couple that has come and found Christ as their Savior has also been trained for business. Today, all through this part of Germany in the little villages all the way to Luxembourg and the borders of France, there are now shops and businesses owned by these new Christian couples. They are making it their business to succeed and be a light for Christ in the German business world. They are also bringing many other shop-keepers and business people to Christ.

Many German people have had enough of religion, but they have never had a true relationship with Jesus Christ. Just within the last few years…there are now 1,000…not just converts, but converts who have a complete and close relationship with helping each other in business. As I look out of the window I see a big crane. This crane is building 6 homes next to the hotel. These 6 homes are being built and paid for by 6 new couples who are now in fellowship. The exciting thing is that only a couple of years ago none of them knew the Lord.

Sunday, I spoke in their Church. It was filled with young growing families with the parents mostly in the 30 to 40 years age-group. What a powerhouse. What life. What joy. German joy in Christ!

For your information, Wayne Negrini is a Las Vegas, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra type of professional entertainer. Since finding Christ, he and Irene have been a very successful business couple. For a while they lived in Tustin, California. During that time they brought 3,000 people to Christ in their store.

The other night Vangie and I had the most wonderful treat. Wayne sang for us in their dining–room entertainment center. With a big band sound he sang the series of Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme favorites. It was not until that moment that I finally realized the full extent of the powerful gift of song that God has given our friend.

Well, I think it is safe to say that Vangie and I are enjoying this trip which began in Ghana, Africa to Germany, to Austria and then home.

LET THE ANOINTING BREAK THE YOKE — FOR YOU!
JESUS IS SO CLOSE TO YOU AT THIS MOMENT YOU CAN REACH OUT AND TAKE HIS HAND! AS YOU TOUCH HIM MIRACLES WILL FLOW INTO YOUR LIFE!

Ronja Zinser has been doing my typing here in Germany. She is Wayne's secretary. She said, “I gave my life to Christ at one of the FGBMFI meetings when I was 8 years old in Germany. My father took me to that meeting and God really touched my heart that day! That feeling was overwhelming for me; I have never felt that before. I am now serving the Lord full time, helping in whatever they need. I am volunteering, giving my time free to work for God.” Ronja Zinser

I thought you would be as blessed by hearing this testimony as I was – R.S.

FAVOR OF GOD ON AFRICA! RICHARD SHAKARIAN
FAVOR WILL CAUSE YOU TO REGAIN IN A DAY
WHAT SATAN HAS STOLEN FROM YOU FOR YEARS!

EXCEPT GOD! This is the national motto of Ghana. This nation of 20 million suffered through the impoverishment and humiliation of being a colony, followed by 43 years of dictators and bad government. It is no accident that their motto is “EXCEPT GOD.” In recent years the nation has turned to Christ. Today 70% of Ghana has found peace with God through Jesus Christ.

The last 8 years God has miraculously prospered this once suffering nation.

“I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26

Kwabena Darko, Danny Mawuenyega and many other well placed powerful FGBMFI leaders were called upon by the President, his Excellency John Kufuor, to help the nation. Our men cleared the way for a righteous government filled with believers of high character and excellence of spirit. Our men were on the team that caused an 8 billion dollar debt relief, and the influx of millions of dollars in new aid. They are also responsible for bringing new businesses to Ghana.

What a reception we had! From the VIP-greeting at the airport to the major press conference 30 minutes after we landed, with radio, TV, and newspapers. Then for our trip the use of presidential cars and police escort. The President was out of the land, however, I was received twice by Vice President Aliu Mahama.

I have never met a government anywhere in the world which had more concern for its citizens and their well-being. It was as if every official and Cabinet member was acting as the good Samaritan. Yes, FGBMFI is helping in many ways with 3 members on the central bank Board, 3 members on the Supreme Court including the Chief Justice and many Cabinet members that are either members or friends of FGBMFI.

Even the newspapers printed the wonderful miracle stories of healings that occurred at our meetings.

We owe special thanks to our FGBMFI President, Timothy Ata. He and his team of officers are leading Ghana up to a higher level with 85 chapters and 3,000 members. I believe that after this convention Ghana will shift into the new MULTIPLICATION type of expansion. Then look out, Ghana is coming!

I have appointed Danny Mawuenyega as a brand new International Director at Large for FGBMFI. Danny is a powerful young businessman who also does many special projects for the government. He is a big man with a big heart and we are proud to welcome him.

Also special thanks to Dr. Lawrence Tetteh. Lawrence left Ghana for England 21 years ago. There he completed his education and developed a wonderful worldwide outreach. His messages and prayers blessed the nation. God has given him Ghana. He is the invited speaker for the 7-day/50-year anniversary celebration of Ghana's independence. Up to a million people are expected to give God the glory for a free and prosperous Ghana.

I will be going back to Ghana in December at the invitation of Rt. Rev. Dr. Yaw Frimpong-Manso. He is the leader of not only the Presbyterian Church but also the leader of all of the Protestants in Ghana.

FAVOR COMES TO A NATION — WHEN THE GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATES WITH THE FULL GOSPEL BUSINESS MEN'S FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL. Yes, the anointing of God is upon FGBMFI.

Somehow God is looking for fellowship with men. He offers us a chance to be his business and government partner.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18

Keep praying for Vangie and I as we bring a fresh anointing to so many.

AFRICA
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Ghana, Africa… A land that has suffered through countless generations of hardships; the people oppressed again and again… only to rise from the ashes of their trials, a united and solidified body of individuals with a vision for their country that brings joy to our hearts.

The hospitality is amazing here; everybody we have met is incredibly friendly and helpful. They are willing to assist you with anything, regardless of whether they are a national president of the Fellowship or a high powered businessman… we are all family here.

We have been welcomed by the top levels of the government in the absence of the president who is out of the nation. We had two special meetings with the Vice-President, as well as two meetings with the Attorney General; three of the Supreme Court Justices, two of which are FGBMFI members; members of the Central Bank, two of which are FGBMFI members; and several other governmental cabinet members.

The opportunities here are outstanding, with seventy percent of the population following Christ and Christians leading the government. In eight years, they have been able to change the value of their currency from nine thousand to one with the dollar, to the new rate of one to one. This means that their currency is on par with the dollar and prosperity is filling the nation.

Awesome is the only way we can express the leading of the Spirit of God, the anointing, and our ministry outreach to the government officials and to the FGBMFI National Convention. Because of this trip, God has opened many doors for future outreach, not just to Ghana, but also throughout Africa.

Just a praise report from Lagos, Nigeria - One year ago they made a change and decided to reach that great city. Since then, they have exploded from sixty to one hundred and forty chapters. That is an increase of almost two and a half times… Praise God!

Our convoy is escorted around Accra by the president's personal police escort, amidst traffic that would put LA rush hour to shame.

Keep praying for Vangie and I, and our team. A satellite picture of the world at night shows very few lights in Africa. By God's Grace we are going to change that. FGBMFI will plant the brightly shining light of the Gospel all over Africa.

YOUR UNLIMITED MEASURE!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

“For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”   Deut. 20:4

Whatever your need…the answer is the same.

God is your source.

God is your source, He is your answer, He is your peace maker, He is your strong arm of defense.

A friend of mine had just begun learning the laws of "seedtime and harvest."
He discovered that it is God who is his real source. With that discovery and the planting of a seed, he was now free to look to God and not to men for his answer.

He walked into the bank; sometimes the banker had not been real friendly. But today was different because he knew on the inside that the banker was not his source, but instead it was God who was his source! He realized that God knew better than he who would be the instrument that God would use to help him. Now his spirit was free. Free from looking to an individual.

The banker immediately sensed something different about him and gave him everything he requested. Praise God!

When we look to God as our source — our relationship with everyone else is different. We are free and they are free!

Today is the day of seedtime and harvest.

The harvest is so great that as prophesied the planter of the seed and the harvester would walk side by side.

GOD IS MY SOURCE!
I AM GIVING AS “SEEDTIME” FOR GOD TO MULTIPLY!
I AM EXPECTING MY MIRACLE.

Just like the little boy with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, I am putting my best into the hands of my Lord. He who fed the 5,000 and gave back to the lad 12 basketfuls is the one I am trusting as my source.

WE WELCOME BRAND NEW CHAPTERS
Today we are beginning an Indonesian Chapter in Los Angeles.
We are also starting a new Chapter in the Jackson, Michigan.
We also welcome the new Fredericksburg, Virginia Chapter.

ISRAEL — PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
Friday, in Houston, we had one of the most unusual services I was ever in. The whole service was changed by the Holy Spirit. The singers began singing songs in Hebrew. Suddenly, visions were coming forth. Powerful visions regarding the security of the nation, battles, and a new generation in Israel. Perhaps we will give you more about this later, but for right now the visions showed; Tanks preparing for battle, 12 leaders in a war conference, the cry for the strengthening of the borders of Lebanon, the lights turning on within the population (this was those who are opening their heart), the prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, the new leaders that will come to power, the young soldiers who will be the instrument to bring the nation to God.

Since then we learned of the provocations going on in Israel. It is time to WORK and PRAY!

LET GOD PUT HIS SUPERNATURAL — ON YOUR NATURAL !

COSTA MESA, CA, CHINESE CONVENTION

RICHARD SHAKARIAN

“I want to receive Jesus” were the words of Lulu Huan, China's top model.

She was one of many that came forward for prayer after I spoke. Congratulations to our powerful FGBMFI So. Cal. Chinese team who had the faith to jam the Hilton Ballroom with 1,200 people 3 days in a row.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

• Please fast and pray for Joshua, Jimmy Hughes's son. The outpouring of love and prayer has been phenomenal. However, he is in a very critical stage.
  
• Pray for Armenia. Our FGBMFI Fire Team is on its way there.
  
• Pray for the FGBMFI families that are in the path of Hurricane Felix which is now hitting Nicaragua and Honduras.

Join Vangie and me in Accra, Ghana, and then in Innsbruck, Austria.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FOR JOSHUA HUGHES!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Late last night, Jimmy and Jessica Hughes' 15 year old son Joshua, took his mother to the airport in Honduras.  On his way back home, he ran into a truck that was parked in the middle of the road without lights.  The impact caused Joshua's car to go into a canyon.  Little Joshua was rushed to the hospital and given only a 50/50 chance to live by the doctors. 

It was only an hour or two later when Vangie and I talked to Jimmy.  He couldn't get a flight out of Texas until today, and Jessica couldn't get a flight out of Miami until today. 

But in the hospital, it was another scene.  We are told that there were 100 Full Gospel Business Men and Women praying in the hospital for little Joshua.  Many offered their credit cards to the doctors to make sure he had the best treatment. 

We are all praying for Joshua because he is such a wonderful young man...much of his life is still ahead of him.  He has a special touch and anointing from God and a destiny to complete on this earth. 

Last night, Vangie was telling Jimmy Hughes about the time one of Brother Kenneth Hagin's valuable workers had fallen from an oil rig and was dying.  Brother Hagin went into the hospital to pray for him, and refused to let go.  He said, “Lord, I need him.  And, if I need him, then You need him.  So, I want him to live.”  Meanwhile, the man died and had an out of body experience going to heaven.  The Lord told him he had to go back.  He protested, “No, I want to stay here!”  Then, the Lord showed him Brother Hagin praying and said, ‘Brother Hagin won't let you stay.'  And he came back to fulfill his years of life-long service to God. 

HIS BANNER OVER US IS LOVE.

PANAMA WORLD CONVENTION 2007
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

He is more than enough…to meet your every need. Jesus said, "Have faith in God."

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:23-25 (KJV)

Enjoy this sampling of pictures from our joyous FGBMFI World Convention. We will never forget the glory of His presence.

UNUSUAL HEAVENLY VISITATION
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

At our World Convention in Panama something very special happened.

We experienced the amazing love of heaven as thousands gathered at our FGBMFI World Convention in Panama.

Something very unusual happened after the message by Dr. Fred Ladenius, on Thursday night. Knowing in our spirit that a special manifestation was about to take place, we all remained reverently standing before the Lord.

Imagine thousands of people standing for about 20 minutes just waiting on the Holy Spirit. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I had a knowing in my heart that people would begin to weep all over that arena.

It came like a mighty rain. Totally filling the place. Simultaneously thousands of people began to weep before the Lord. Many fell to their knees.

At that very moment in a large ballroom upstairs, all of the children, ages 4 to 11, simultaneously raised their hands and began speaking in other tongues. As the mothers came into the room to pick up their children, they also burst into tears and began speaking in other tongues.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is on FGBMFI. His anointing rains down upon every hungry heart.

A prayer for you:
Lord Jesus, we lift our spirit to you. We thank you for your blessings and we ask, according to your Word that you will meet every need. We supernaturally receive the strength and power to overcome, to be healed, to be blessed, to be productive, to be fruitful, and to multiply your work on earth. Amen.

RUSSIA CONVENTION – CONGRATULATIONS!
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

What a JOY to meet you and the other Brothers from Russia in Nicaragua.

I just wanted to write and express our love to all of you wonderful people serving God in Russia and the surrounding nations.

I understand you are going into a convention almost immediately, and I would appreciate it if you could translate my words and read this greeting to your convention.

Dear brothers and sisters in the Full Gospel Business Men'S Fellowship International Convention in Russia.

We extend our prayers and our love to all of you.
You are very important to the Lord and to me.

Around the world, in more than 150 nations, with thousands of chapters, we are "globally – as one"!

We are "globally – as one" In Jesus.
We are "globally – as one" In the Spirit.
We are "globally – as one" In love.
And we are "globally – as one" In the great army of God.

In every language, in every culture,
In every part of the world, we are lifting
Up the Lord Jesus Christ through our
Personal stories of change by His power.

Yes, finding Jesus brings us all into a better life.

In the month of February, and in March, we are joining together around the world, in a mighty fast to God.

Many of us are in the Daniel's fast found in Daniel the 10th chapter. This fast is meant to break resistance.

Yes, God wants to break the resistance –
The chains which bind the sinners – as was seen in the vision, and also the resistance of well-meaning people, who by their actions hold back the great work of the harvest!

We ask our Russian brothers and sisters to join us as we are fasting from around the world.

Some of us are fasting for 21 days, others for 1 or 2 days a week, and others as health permits.

God has promised a greater anointing – a big step up – Great things from Him and great breakthroughs as we fast together.

New Wine

Here at the World Headquarters of FGBMFI In California.

We have already seen God's hand, and several great breakthroughs since the 1st of February.

Remember, we are "Globally – as one."

I look forward to coming to Russia.
I look forward to giving each one of you a big hug and kiss in the Lord and I look forward to the wonderful fellowship of sharing with you great victories.

We look forward to hearing the wonderful things
God has done for you.

Remember, for right now, I am as close as your email.
You can easily contact me by writing rshakarian@aol.com

Please send me the names, addresses, and emails of all your leaders so that I can send our brothers in Russia the very encouraging reports that we send out every week. When we have received several Russian email addresses, we will send out our message in the beautiful Russian language.

We love you very much,

Richard Shakarian
International President

FGBMFI - THE GOD WHO IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!
EMAIL FROM RICHARD SHAKARIAN

El Shaddai is one of seven covenant names through which God revealed Himself to Israel. In Hebrew, El Shaddai means "the All-Sufficient One ," or "the God who is more than enough."

The translators of the King James Version translated El Shaddai as "Almighty God." Since God is the All-Sufficient One, then He is Almighty — the One who is more than enough.

When the Lord God appeared to Abram, what He actually said in Hebrew was, "I am El Shaddai..."

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, "I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect." - Genesis 17:1

Since God is the All-Sufficient One, then He is Almighty.
He is the one Who is more than enough.
He is greater than all our needs!

Jesus said, "Lazarus, come forth!" Lazarus came forth, still wrapped and bound in grave clothes. Then Jesus said, "Loose him and let him go!" (John 11:1-44)

The God who is more than enough is greater than death!

Outside Jericho one day, Jesus saw a blind beggar named Bartimaeus sitting by the side of the road. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was approaching, he began to cry out, "Jesus, Thou son of David, have mercy on me!" (Mark 10:47)

Jesus stopped and said, "What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?" And Bartimaeus said, "Lord, that I might receive my sight."

Jesus healed Bartimaeus, giving sight to the blind. The power of Jesus is greater than the power of blindness!

Things can be different NOW! If we believe God and trust Him, things can be different here and now in this life. He's the God who is more than enough, not " was " or "will be." HE IS !

He is the All-Sufficient One. He is not just the God of yesterday; He is the God of NOW . He didn't say, "I'm the God who was more than enough." No! And He didn't say, "I'm the God who will be more than enough." He said, " I AM El Shaddai ."

IF WE BELIEVE GOD AND TRUST HIM, THINGS CAN BE DIFFERENT HERE AND NOW IN THIS LIFE.*

My prayer for you,
"Precious Lord Jesus, You are the Shepherd that carries the sheep. When we have no one else, we cry out to You. From the ends of the earth You have heard my prayer and delivered me. Now, I ask for healing, for deliverance, and for Your blessings upon each one. Amen."

We are constantly praying for you - as I know you are constantly praying for Vangie and I. Please let me know your prayer needs -
DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL THE REPORTS OF BLESSINGS, HEALINGS, AND VICTORIES TO: rshakarian@aol.com

WHEELS OF FIRE

By: Richard Shakarian

The Lord's Prayer contains God's will.
Jesus said, “Thy will be done on earth... as it is in heaven .”

What is God's will in heaven?
First there is no sickness... There is no death. There is no sadness...
There is no lack in heaven .

Since the Lord said, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,”
then let's see what God created on earth.

In God's original creation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden,
there was no sickness... There was no death as long as they were obedient... There was no sadness in the garden... There was no lack - as long as they stayed in God's presence.

As God thinks about FGBMFI men and women all over the world,
I believe - it is God's desire that we are abundantly successful and experience His will on earth as it is in heaven!

His will - is no lack !

Prosperity and abundance are part of God's divine plan. He has given us more than 3,000 promises in His word just so that His children can receive the abundance,
