What is the Purpose of the Kingdom Project? PDF Print E-mail

The Kingdom Project was a major initiative of the Five Year Plan, 2001-2006, for the Bahá’ís of the United States and continues to be of paramount importance.

The Universal House of Justice recognized this in its April 26, 2002 letter to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States, stating: “…the demonstrated generosity of the American believers in providing material means…as in the case of the World Centre Endowment Fund and in that of the Kingdom Project at home, proves beyond any doubt the strength of their faith and the depth of their devotion to the one Source through which the ills of the world can be healed. May they continue to appreciate the spiritual priorities that such individual material sacrifices serve. The worse the conditions become, the more acute the need for such devoted acts of generosity.”

The House of Justice stressed that, “The glorious destiny so clearly forecast in the divine Texts beckons the dearly loved followers of the Blessed Beauty in your land to heights of striving yet to be attempted.” And, “...whatever of that destiny lies in their immediate possibilities at this critical time will be achieved with resounding triumph through their unceasing and unwavering endeavor.”

The Kingdom Project was designed to strengthen the physical resources of the American Bahá’í Community so that they are adequate to welcome new members into our midst, and to ensure that properties held in trust by our Assembly are maintained and preserved for future generations. It is paramount that we all examine the role that we can play in realizing its goals. Let us soar into new “heights of striving” by continuously supporting the project through prayers, pledges, activities, and sharing of information.
