A CLOSELY KNIT NETWORK OF FELLOWSHIPS
FULFILLING THE VISION
The purpose of the Full Gospel Global Forum (FGGF) is for national leaders in laymen's ministries, representing like minded FGB (Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship), BMF (Business Men's Fellowship) and FGGF affiliated organisations, to be mutually encouraged, envisioned and supported, through the sharing of global initiatives and meeting together, especially at a Global Leadership Prayer Summit (GLPS) held annually at different global region locations.
The focus of all the participating national organisations is to reach men in all nations for Christ and to empower them for life through the power of the Holy Spirit. Their common mission is to :
FGGF men hold regular meetings throughout the world to share ‘real life stories’ about the difference it makes having Jesus in their lives. They bring together men of all Christian church backgrounds and occupations to invite men yet to find Christ, arranging meetings in hotels, restaurants, and marketplace venues. Men and women are also reached with the gospel as a result of FGGF men sharing their real life stories through social media networks.
Men share their experiences, successes and failures in business and everyday life. They speak of marriages transformed, bodies healed, addictions overcome, business problems resolved, all through encountering the power of God in a personal way.
The current Fellowships in FGGF are as follows:

Business Men's Fellowship USA |

BMF USA was formed in response to a gathering of leaders in Kansas in 1995 and a word of prophecy that was given that God was going to build a new harvest machine that will go out all over the world. The work of BMF has centred around testimony, fellowship and prayer through breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinner meetings and conferences. The work of BMF has spread to Europe, Asia and Africa. BMF USA responded to the word given by John Pata at the 2021 GLPS, whereby God is forming a tri-chord union of fellowships between USA, Canada and UK to outreach on social media together. This word is being fulfilled through Lifestories Worldwide.

AFIHNEC Costa Rica |
www.facebook.com/afihnec |
This Fellowship has a special role to play in the worldwide work of fulfilling the vision. San Jose, Costa Rica, was the destination of the Global Leadership Prayer Summit in 2015, which fulfilled a prophecy from 20 years before, where "leaders of the Fellowship from every continent will gather in Costa Rica, where I will release a fresh wave of the fire of my Holy Spirit, which will spread from Costa Rica to the north, the south, the east, the west." On the last day of the conference, there was a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Also on that day, a Holy Spirit prompted conversation between the leader of FGBMFI Nigeria and BMF-UK contributed to the birth to what was to become Lifestories Worldwide, a social media evangelism initiative which has reached millions of people with the gospel.
FGBMFI Nigeria |
www.fgbmfi-nigeria.org.ng |
The work of the Fellowship in Nigeria has truly prospered over the years, growing to over 3,000 chapters and around 150,000 members. Fulfilling the vision that one man speak to another man in an everyday language and manner they recognise, such as a doctor to a doctor and a plumber to a plumber, the Fellowship in Nigeria have a range of chapters that cater specifically for VIPs, some for managers, some for 'blue collar' workers, etc. The attendance at their national convention is so great, they use the national football stadium as a venue! Persecution from militant muslims in the north of Nigeria is of concern and the fellowship would welcome your prayer investment into that area. FGBMFI Nigeria are fulfilling the role of secretary to the FGGF Steering Committee through the diligent service of Tom Ogboi.

Business Men's Fellowship India |
www.bmfitamilnadu.org |
There are many challenges to sharing the gospel in India. There are over 120 languages and 19,000 dialects in the sub-continent of India. The Hindus recognise 33 million Gods! Extremist Hindus believe all Indians should be Hindus, rather than following a 'foreign' faith. Christians are falsely accused of bringing bad luck to their communities and are often attacked, killed or put under heavy pressure to return to Hindu ways. A lot of prayer support is required for the great work of BMF India.

FGB UK & Ireland have been instrumental in establishing the Full Gospel Global Forum, through hosting the majority of Global Leadership Prayer Summits, setting up the first website, administering the bank account for 10 years, providing the first chairman of the FGGF Steering Committee in Peter Spreckley and the first secretary to the FGGF Steering Committee in Stuart Cripps.
BMF UK |
www.lifestoriesworldwide.com |
BMF-UK started in 1995 and focused on outreach dinners, conferences, fellowship, equipping men to share testimony and getting men filled with the Holy Spirit. In 2010 the organisation looked to focus on lunch meetings in the business districts of major cities, interviewing a Christian business leader who was 'world class' at what they did. The interviews provided a 360degree view of the person, including success and adversity, with the most prominent point being their faith in Jesus Christ. The interviews were streamed live on Periscope. The online work grew substantially, with the organisation rebranding online as Lifestories. Almost 1,000 videos have been posted online on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok, which have been viewed by millions of people in 200 countries. Since Easter Sunday 2020, over 80,000 people have clicked on the salvation prayer link.
