Oct-Dec 2002

Soon, the National Secretariat is undertaking a complete organization audit of all the chapters in their constitution, operation and effectiveness in the fulfillment of the Vision and Mission statements. The exercise will be completed with the publication of the official list of chapters and office bearers beginning 2003. The responsibility of the audit will rest with the Regional Directors on a regional basis. To maintain an FGB identity, all chapters must be properly constituted and office bearers have to be clear in their commitment. The National Board will take note of all recommendations from the region in compiling the new list. Arising from this exercise, the office bearers will be re-appointed and Field Representatives will be allocated their areas of responsibility and be accountable to the Regional Director of the region who will, in turn, report to the National Board.

An objective, transcending, in all these activities within the Fellowship would be to bring about a culture of the FGB and an FGB man's identity in the marketplace. With the free distribution of the Flame and the Voice to every member when these are published, it is hoped that members will be able to identify and have a sense of belonging with the FGB Ministry. Members are advised to renew their membership yearly. Each Chapter will be given 50 copies of the Voice on publication from now onwards and more copies of the Voice can be requested for during the outreach meetings.

In the ongoing efforts to bring about an FGB ethos among our members, the National Board has encouraged the respective regions to hold regular specific talks on subjects pertaining to the spiritual strengthening of members to be the salt and light in this marketplace ministry.
