Grace Fellowship International was incorporated May 29, 1969 for the purpose of implementing a new approach to spiritual counseling based on God's call on the life of Charles Solomon in November, 1967. From the beginning it was a worldwide vision, which God has brought to pass in the ensuing third of a century.
Dr. & Mrs. Charles Solomon President & Founder of GFI
The doors of GFI opened full time as a faith ministry February 1, 1970, and the Holy Spirit began to transform lives in the counseling setting. Two years later, in August 1972, the first staff member was added and the first remote office was opened in Missouri in 1975. The first international work was established in Argentina in 1981 and now there are representatives on six continents and many countries.
Dr. Solomon's first and best selling book, Handbook to Happiness, has sold over 300,000 copies in English, Spanish, Korean, Romanian, and Russian. Chapter 2 has been condensed into tract form and is included on this site in more than 20 languages under the title, The Wheel and Line, in the Living in Victory section. Dr. Solomon has subsequently written ten more books and along with many articles and poems, some of which are included on this web site.
Though greatly abbreviated, the Wheel and Line provides the basic message of GFI in sufficient detail that one may understand its illustration of scripture and come to know Christ as Life. It is a tool that one may use in leading a lost person to Christ or in leading a believer to the Cross.
There have been many spin-off ministries since GFI began in 1970 both stand alone ministries and faithful pastors who are teaching the message of our identification with Christ in His death and resurrection. A number of ministries have begun in various parts of the world as a direct or indirect result of the founding of GFI in obedience to God's call.
Now, the time has come to utilize the technology of Internet to extend the ministry of GFI globally with a minimum of travel. We invite your prayer and personal or financial involvement as God leads. There will be enough work for all whom God calls to minister to the needs of the hurting around the world and to train or mentor believers in every country to provide help and training on a personal level. Above all, we will appreciate your prayer that God will direct and provide personnel and resources that the message of the Cross may be disseminated without delay. Revival is desperately needed around the world. Every major Christian awakening the world has ever known has begun as a reborn awareness of our union with Christ in His death and resurrection.
Dr. & Mrs. Charles Solomon
