FGB (Full Gospel Businessmen)
FGB is part of a movement which started in 1952, to encourage Christians in business to share their stories of how God has helped them in their business, and in their lives in general, to encourage others.
This is normally done in the context of the congenial atmosphere of a meal in a hotel or cafe, with an invited speaker.
