Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International celebrates 20th anniversary

Accra, April 5, GNA - Dr Lawrence Tetteh, a Ghanaian International Evangelist on Tuesday called on Ghanaian entrepreneurs not to be satisfied with their success stories and neglect their commitment and partnership with God and moral principles. "Businessmen must come into terms with the biblical fact that they are reaping profit from their businesses as a result of the grace of God, which is sufficient for them. It is the covering blood of Christ and his grace that is helping them out, hence the need to acknowledge the presence of God and seek him always," he said. Dr Tetteh was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra where he is the guest of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International Gateway Chapter (FGBMFI), which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary on the theme: 93Wake up! Let's Renew Our Minds." He stressed the need for businessmen to turn to God, adding 93no matter their background in the society they have a place in church". Dr Tetteh said he is a PhD/Research Fellow in Economics and International Relations, but made a personal decision to serve the Lord as an Evangelist.

He admonished Ghanaians to turn to God, who he described as 93the only true God" and shed their fervour for idols worship. Dr Tetteh said he has had the privilege of ministering to the FGBMFI for more than 22 years and addressed a world conference of the fellowship in Florida, USA in 2008.

Mr Akumfi Ameyaw Buanya, President of the Gateway Chapter and Assistant Commissioner of the Customs Division of Ghana Revenue Authority, commended Dr Tetteh for facilitating the programme through the word of God, healing and other miracles "It was a mere telephone call and Dr Lawrence has sacrificed his time, energy and resources to be here. We are grateful to God," he said.

The FGBMFI is made up of Christians from all church backgrounds with the goal to testify to the power of God. It has more than 150 countries worldwide

The fellowship was founded in 1951, by one Demos Shakarian, a dairy farmer of Armenian parents living in California and who was concerned about the lack of men in churches.
