Challenge to attend the FGBMFI National Convention
The earth is the Lords - So let us gather to take it.
This Convention is dedicated to the impartment of throne empowerment and authority to all those in attendance. Now is the time to see and experience an outpouring of God’s Spirit prophesied by the Word of God for the end times prior to Christ’s return.
If you have a destiny for your life to have a purpose under God on this earth then come and receive the incredible anointing that will be imparted to all those who are hungry for an enlargement of the power and presence of God in their lives.
Our Speakers have been chosen for their ability to move in the supernatural power of God demonstrating their throne room authority with signs and wonders as the gifts of the Holy Spirit are manifested.
If you have a need of healing in your body or deliverance from long standing problems that have robbed you of God’s peace and happiness then come to the Convention expecting a miracle, you won’t be disappointed.
God wants to use and release His spiritual gifts in all those attending to encourage and strengthen each other in the Fellowship and at the conclusion of the Convention to leave with a new sense of empowerment that will bring blessing to their families, chapters and churches.
Now is the time to make the step of faith that will release God’s provision by registering now for this awesome Convention.
On behalf of the National Board, I extend God’s richest blessing that the Christmas period will bring every member and their family joy, peace and prosperity as they celebrate the birth of our Lord.
Your brother in Christ
