This uplifting story of Demos Shakarian and his family is an exciting testimony packed full of faith-building examples of how God still leads today, complete with miracle healing, divine “coincidences” and interventions. This is the republished version of the personal story of Demos Shakarian, who founded the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International in 1953, when God gave him the vision of millions of men all over the world gathering to grow their faith, to fulfill their God given destiny, and fellowship with other businessmen. This uplifting and riveting story of Demos Shakarian and his family, his Armenian roots, how he built a successful business in America, and his vision and creation of the Fellowship has inspired many. The original book had been out of print for over thirty years, when Tim King, president of the FGBMFI Greater Phoenix Executive Chapter, and his wife Clara were led by the Lord to republish it for this new generation. Their hope and prayer is that when you read the book you will also, through the power of the Holy Spirit, be changed into one of the “Happiest People on Earth”.

I was seven years old when Mom took us to a one-month revival at Central Assembly of God in Wichita, Kansas. Dad said he didn’t want to go because he heard they were “HOLY ROLLERS”. After a week of verbal and physical abuse, he took us to hear the evangelist, Ralph Wilkerson. What a powerful message on God’s Love! After three altar calls, the Evangelist jumped off the stage and came right up to my Dad. I could hear him pleading with Dad to turn his life to Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626c36ca445c1d0aa3575f5f/68d88147-aa9c-4b19-b9f3-22d839bd6761/Glendon+Yoder+p.jpeg Testimonies Testimony by Glendon Yoder, FGBMFI Greater Phoenix member “God has called me to love Him, love my family, love people, and spread the Gospel, even if it means going to other countries.” ~ Glendon Yoder I was raised in a strict Mennonite family. It was a great life, although very rigid. My three brothers and I were blessed with great parents. Our father was a man of impeccable integrity, who taught his sons early on, the benefits of a good work ethic. When dad was out of town preaching the Word, he hired a driver so we could continue serving our customers in the family landscape company. Married in 1984, my wife Deborah and I were blessed with three wonderful children. Ashley, our eldest is married to Gabriel, they have three children; Angela is married to Andrew; our son Tyler is the youngest and is single. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626c36ca445c1d0aa3575f5f/cde8d6a2-81a0-493b-a63e-84dc6032dd13/Rick+2.jpg Testimonies - As I was working for her, we started to develop an attraction to each other and started dating. She had a son, Ricky from a previous marriage that was in Michigan seeing his grandmother at the time. We were shooting pool one night getting ready to go pick him up at the airport when breaking news came on the TV. Northwest Flight 255 had crashed on takeoff in Detroit to Phoenix and all passengers had been killed; (except one girl we found out later). That was the flight Ricky, her son was on. When we heard this news, Chris fainted and fortunately I caught her before she hit the ground. We were in shock, balling, screaming and crying. I felt led to go and stay with her as she didn’t have a lot of support from her friends. This led to wild parties, drugs and alcohol. At the time, the doctors said Chris would never have another child as a health defect was keeping this from happening. Then the first of many miracles happened, and we had our one and only a son, Skyler. We were not married at the time nor were we seeking God and our lives were spiraling out of control, mostly because of the alcohol. As all this was happening, we were building a successful fastener company for the owner and doing quite well. God was on our side as we had no real training on how to run a business. He gave us wisdom to be quick learners. https://www.fullgospelphoenix.com/about daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626c36ca445c1d0aa3575f5f/665c6ac1-11ff-43f7-b70b-9908c9e6412b/Tim+King+at+meeting.jpg About https://www.fullgospelphoenix.com/next-event daily 0.75 2024-10-16 https://www.fullgospelphoenix.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-05-12 https://www.fullgospelphoenix.com/officers daily 0.75 2024-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626c36ca445c1d0aa3575f5f/7a3192a5-80c4-4dec-bb4f-759a29307ed6/Tim-Clara-2-739x1024.jpg Officers - Tim is the FGBMFI Regional VP of North America and the Caribbean.
