HUSBAND & WIFE AS A TEAM

Demos & Rose Shekarian: A Partnership That Worked

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?

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”!

“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

“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

“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

“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

Unity in decision-
