“ . . . I wanted to make sure I was completely ready to serve the faith”

Ben is 18 years old and was raised in a Bahai family.  He has been quite active in the Bahai community and he is thinking of studying marketing or education in college.  He is also considering serving at one of the National Bahai schools as a volunteer.   He has already completed his study through three courses in the Ruhi sequence, including training to be an animator of junior youth groups.  Here is what Ben shared about himself.

I have actually considered myself and been acknowledged by my community as a Baha'i my whole life. I am 18 and was raised in a Baha'i household. I am currently attending classes at a  . . . Baha'i school and I am also tutoring a Ruhi book 5 course [Releasing the Powers of Junior Youth] with local youth. I have been searching through myself these past three years not because I didn't accept the faith, but because I wanted to make sure I was completely ready to serve the faith. Thank you so much for reaching out to me.

Ben is now fully enrolled as a member of the Bahai Faith.
