Youth at the forefront in action!

Received May 6, 2008

Dear friends, after a wonderful Youth Gathering yesterday, three of our West Pasco youth, joined the teams who went to the neighborhood area of the Baha’i Center, as a follow up to the registering children for the neighborhood children classes.

A youth team was able to register 3 Vietnamese children for the first neighborhood children class in our cluster. The other teams have been doing a great job with their follow up efforts.

The plan is to start the class by next week, thus meeting another goal of our Cluster’s first Cycle of Growth! A group of our youth are committed to be the teachers of this class.

Wherefore, O ye illumined youth, strive by night and by day to unravel the mysteries of the mind and spirit, and to grasp the secrets of the Day of God. Inform yourselves of the evidences that the Most Great Name hath dawned. Open your lips in praise. Adduce convincing arguments and proofs. Lead those who thirst to the fountain of life; grant ye true health to the ailing. Be ye apprentices of God; be ye physicians directed by God, and heal ye the sick among humankind. Bring those who have been excluded into the circle of intimate friends. Make the despairing to be filled with hope. Waken them that slumber; make the heedless mindful.

Such are the fruits of this earthly life. Such is the station of resplendent glory. Upon you be Baha'u'l-Abha.

With loving Baha’i greetings
