At the Central Region AMC, on Saturday 12 October at Menara TA One, KL, 141 members were blessed with a powerful challenge from Dr Chew Weng Chee (former president of Kota Kinabalu Chapter, now the pastor of SIB , Kuala Lumpur). Quoting from 1 Samuel 22:1-2 and 1 Chronicles 11 and 12 he highlighted the five characteristics which transformed a bunch of desperate, distressed and discontented men into King David's mighty men who were then able to capture and turn the city of Jebuz into the City of David; a city which they could not make part of God's promised land from the time of Joshua. Dr Chew saw FGBMF men as a mighty army of God for the end-time harvests taking our towns and cities for the Lord. We are to be:

1.

Able (1 Chron 12:1-2) - be skillful in handling the Word of God, counseling other men and sharing testimonies.
2.

Available (1 Chron 12:23,38) - be willing and available for the work to be done. God's church is built on volunteerism and we are to be happy doing what God wants us to do.
3.

Committed, loyal and focused (1 Chron 11:15) not to a person or persons but to God and be a people "fully determined".
4.

Disciplined (Joel 2:7) to serve in the ranks and march in line that titles and positions are unimportant but the work is.
5.

United (1 Chron 11:4-9) - be all united to our vision and mission even though each one of us has our own capabilities and achievements. We can then capture Jebuz for the Lord.

For the first time, a separate AMC for the Chinese brothers of the Central Region was held. A total of 88 Chinese brothers gathered on 17 October at a Chinese Restaurant to meet, discuss and plan.

The Sabah Region had the AMC on Saturday 19 October in Kota Kinabalu. Fifty brothers attended and were blessed through the sharing by Dr Philip Lyn on "The Principles of Divine Opportunities."

The Southern Region, had the AMC on Saturday 2 November in Kluang. A total of 62 people attended where Bro Tan Tek Seng shared on, "Servanthood in the Marketplace".

At each AMC, Bro Wong Hong Meng spoke on the process of the FGB Ministry and the attributes of the FGB man. The objective was to inculcate in the members the awesome responsibility of being a testimony in the marketplace of their lives for the glory of the Lord in this Fellowship. Reports were also presented by the National Secretary and Treasurer.

The Sarawak Region will convene its AMC on Saturday 16 November in Kuching.
