Q: Dr Moses, may I know what led you
and how you were involved in the early days of FGBMF?
A: Early in 1984 there was no chapter in
Petaling Jaya or in Selangor. A former senior leader Bro. Wong Kim Kong
approached me to start a chapter in PJ. At first I was reluctant as I was
then quite new in FGBMF. Later, together with Dr. Tai Young, Sunny Cheah,
Dr Dennis Ng and the late Bro. Patrick Yeoh, we started a chapter in
Damansara Jaya. I became its first President. We would organise regular
chapter and praying meetings, hold regular banquets in a restaurant
instead of in a 5- star hotel. This was more popular as it did not cost so
much to book a table. We would also visit the sick wherever they were and
also support other chapters' meetings from time to time.
Q: Can you compare the spiritual
climate then and now?
A: It was certainly different because the
charismatic movement was new then. We were not tired of attending meetings
and organising banquets. We had some interesting speakers such as "
the dwarf who became a giant [literally]", a former NASA astronaut
and many other interesting speakers as well.
Q: Would you say you have attained
utmost satisfaction when filled with the Holy Spirit?
A: Yes, of course. I received the baptism
of speaking in tongues in 1984.
Q: You certainly have fond memories of
FGBMF Malaysia. Would you kindly share them with us?
A: One of my greatest satisfactions was
bringing people to Christ especially those who had backslided and the many
healings of the body and relationships. Apart from these, it was the
privilege of meeting and having fellowship with so many brothers and
sisters in Christ. I owed a great deal to the training and exposure in
speaking and leadership that I received in FGBMF.
Q: What are your views on FGBMF's
progress over the recent years?
A: In recent years FGBMF has made great
and bold strategies in going to the vernacular groups- especially the
Chinese speaking and the compassion shown to the under privileged. This is
certainly a departure from the old.
Q: What is it that you miss most on
leaving FGBMF to serve in the church?
A: I missed the fellowship with believers
from other fellowship groups and churches - not to mention enlarging our
"portable pulpits".
Q: Lastly, what would be your passing
words to the current FGBMF members?
A: Always remember the manifesto of the
FGBMFI and the original vision of the founder, Demos Shakarian!
Over
the years, FGBMF Malaysia has often been the fellowship place of Christian
leaders. Many are now serving as pastors, elders, deacons and in other
leadership positions. One such leader is Dr Moses Lee (a former Field
Representative and now serving as Home-fellowship Coordinator at Full
Gospel Assembly, Kuala Lumpur) whom the
