FGBMFI was founded by Demos Shakarian, a wealthy American Dairy Farmer in 1951, in California, USA. FGBMFI was incorporated under the laws of California, USA in 1953.
CURRENT STATUS:
From one man and one Fellowship, in California, today, FGBMFI is found in over 150 Nations of the world and still growing as an international NGO. In Uganda, the Fellowship was established in early 198os by Pastor Dr. Daniel Nkata who became the Founder National President [1980 – 2010]. Currently, we have over sixty [60] Chapters in the country, half of which are in and around Kampala and its environs.
WHAT, EXACTLY, IS FGBMFI?
It’s a Fellowship, as its name connotes, of born again, spiritually filled businessmen and women, who meet regularly, usually, in a public places to encourage one another in faith and to carry out the Great Commission. Matthew 28:18-20.
It is international, operating in over 150 nations, forming a formidable network of friendly mutual supporters, working for God in the marketplaces.
Membership, because of, purely, accident of history which has not changed, was for men who had abandoned churches for only women and children but there is a sister Fellowship (Ladies of Fellowship) for women who, additionally, are welcome in the FGBMFI, especially in Uganda.
The Fellowship, believes in the entire Bible, the word of God, from Genesis to Revelation and, hence, the epithet ‘FULL GOSPEL’ from Genesis to Revelation (with nothing to do with the Full Gospel Church).
The Fellowship is not a physical Church as other Churches are known, in terms of buildings and institutional arrangements except as a body of Christ as stipulated in the Bible and it does not aspire to be one [physical Church in the future and its membership is drawn from different Christian or denominational backgrounds.
THE VISION OF FGBMFI:
To reach out to men and women who are spiritually weak and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, have them delivered, set free and filled with the Holy Spirit.
THE MISSION OF FGBMFI:
Through an inter denominational, spirit-motivated team, anointment and fellowship of the Holy Spirit-led lay- men we reach out to and take back men to God. Members belong to and come from their existing Churches and those who have no Churches are guided to freely find which ones to belong to.
OBJECTIVES OF FGBMFI:
- To reach out to men and women in all nations for Jesus Christ.
- To call men and women back to God.
- To help believers to receive and be baptized in the Holy Spirit and to grow spiritually.
