Its main purpose is to bring interest to the Christian gospel.
FGBMFI was founded in 1952 in Los Angeles by Demos Shakarian, a California rancher.
[2][1] The expression "Full Gospel" in the name of the association is central to the vision of the organization.
[3] Following a difficult start (for a year nothing happened to the original group that met weekly), then a donation of $1000 was given to start a small publication titled Full Gospel Business Men's VOICE, it grew steadily, the second chapter was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and after a few years chapters were set up throughout the world.
[9] In the 1980s, the presence on the board of directors and the financial management of Demos Shakarian were challenged.
