FGBMFI Voice, Testimonies

March 1959 Jamaica & Puerto Rico

February 1961 Beyond the Curtain of Time

The Full Gospel Mens Voice was the official Magazine of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI). In the 1950s and 1960s, the President of this magazine was Demos Shakarian. Many of the other officers of the FGBMFI were well known to William Branham, and mentioned by name various times during his ministry, including: Lee Braxton, Jewel Rose, Clayton Sonmore, Jack Moore, and Miner Arganbright.

Some testimonies of healing from these magazines are included below:

Jamaica: Written by Hugh R. Spence, Secretary of the Jamaican FGBMFI Chapter

William Branham ministered supernaturally, bringing deliverance from sin and sickness through the name and power of Jesus Christ.

This man told of how William Branham had pointed out his young daughter in the audience and told her that she was praying for the healing of her younger brother, whose left hand and arm had been crippled by Polio and that the Lord would heal him. Already, the boy was able to pick things up from the floor with the hand and arm.

William Branham preaching in Jamaica

The combination of Regional Conventions and William Branham's ministry in the evening services seems providential. The Evangelist surely ministers according to the Bible. His ministry is very outstanding.

After the sermon, which was always superb, Evangelist Branham received unction for praying for the sick. Under this blessing he diagnosed or described the sickness of the person in front of him. His last words to the sick person were, "Christ has healed you."

Sometimes he turned to the audience, called a person by name, told his or her problems, and assured them God's undertaking in the case.

There were times when he not only called the person by name, described his or her burden, but also told for whom the burden was and in what country the person lived.

Persons that came to the platform and those that were called by him from the audience all claimed to have been healed, and declared that everything he told them was true. He had never seen them. They had never seen him. They were strangers to each other. This procedure is new in Puerto Rico. The gift of discernment actualized in this way was unknown in our country.

We know the Holy Spirit gives gifts and ministries. William Branham is a man sent from God to serve his generation with a complete spiritual equipment.
