2. Partners United In Mission HUSBAND & WIFE AS A TEAM

3. Demos & Rose Shekarian: A Partnership That Worked

4. The FGBMFI Story is a story of partnership between God and a team of husband and wife - Demos & Rose Shekarian Rose’s prophetic utterance changed the course of history of our Fellowship SHOULDN’T THIS BE A DIVINE PATTERN FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE VISION IN YOUR AREA?

5. The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Gen 2:18 Imagine an FGBMFI Leader without a “helper suitable for him”!

6. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matthew 19:6

7. “One shall chase a thousand, two shall put ten thousand to flight” Deut 32:30 The combined effort of husband & wife is far greater than the sum of their individual efforts

8. “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3 “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” Matt 18:19

9. “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. alone?” “Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm.” Ecc 4: 8-10
