The Ghana branch of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI) will in October 2025 host a landmark convention that blends spiritual renewal with business networking.

The 2025 National Convention, scheduled for October 9 to 11 at the Palms Convention Centre of La Palm Beach Resort in Accra, will for the first time bring together delegates from across West Africa, Christian business executives, public servants, and professionals from Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and other countries are expected to attend.

Since its incorporation in Ghana in 1984, the convention has been an annual national spiritual gathering. This year, however, organizers are taking it a step further by opening it up to international participation.

At a press conference in Accra, the National President of FGBMFI Ghana, Emmanuel Baba Mahama, said the 2025 convention would combine worship, teaching, and entrepreneurship.

“Attendees will engage in a unique fusion of worship sessions, keynote sermons, and business workshops designed to foster both spiritual growth and economic development,” he noted.

In addition to the spiritual programmes, the Fellowship’s Corporate Business Development Directorate will hold a networking session, offering Christian entrepreneurs a platform to connect and explore solutions to common challenges such as access to capital, market expansion, and maintaining integrity in competitive markets.

Founded globally in 1951, the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International describes itself as the world’s largest Christian business network, with more than 7,000 chapters in over 100 nations. Its Ghana branch, first launched in 1977 and incorporated in 1984, has become a platform for professionals across denominations to promote Christian values in business, communities, and homes.

Once restricted to men, the Fellowship now includes women, who participate under the banner of Ladies of the Fellowship.

Organizers say the 2025 convention will not only celebrate the Fellowship’s growth but also highlight how faith and commerce can work together to impact society.
