Full Gospel Business Men

The Full Gospel Business Men's Association International (FGBMFI) was founded in 1951 in Los Angeles by Demos Shakarian, California rancher and a close relative of Tatos Kardashian who sponsored William Branham and Avak Hagopian to heal Krikor Arakelian's son. It appears to have been deeply involved with the promotion and funding of many evangelists who joined in the Latter Rain Revival and Voice of Healing Revival. The association also provided William Branham with a brand-new Cadillac.
