The Lord appeared to Abram and said,
To your offspring I will give this land. There he built an altar to the
Lord, who had appeared to him, and called on the name of the name of the Lord.
The Lord spoke, in somewhat similar
fashion, to Brother Charlie Yeo, the Group Coordinator of FGBMF
Central
Region, of a place in USJ 21 where the people could call on the name of the
Lord and have an opportunity and gather a small group of businessmen from
different denomination to meet, pray, worship and testify to the greatness of
our Saviour, Jesus Christ. They caught the vision given to Demos Shakarian
(founder) in 1952 and henceforth met and prayed diligently and unceasingly for
35 weeks before the fruition of the chapter on 16th March 2009.
The launching of the FGBMF Chapter
was witnessed by about 40 people. The National President, Brother Tan Tek Seng,
inaugurated the charter of the chapter. He prayed and blessed the new chapter
president and his committee members to carry out the Great Commission in that
vicinity.
Dr Wong Hong Meng, the National
Director of Training and Leadership Development, gave an inspiring exhortation
for the people of the Lord to be vigilant to the vision and mission of the
FGBMF.
The occasion culminated with a
ceremony where the president and his men pledged their commitment to serve
with the fear of the Lord in their hearts.
