Homefront Victories in the United States
25 June 1969
National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States.
Dear Bahá'í Friends,
The news of the homefront victories contained in your Ridván cable and in your semiannual statistical report brought great joy to our hearts. The members of your valiant community have clearly demonstrated their staunch resolve and their understanding of their task to strengthen the homefront as they simultaneously pursue their global mission. They have poured their funds freely and generously into the international teaching work of the Faith through substantial contributions to the Bahá'í Fund, have assisted their sister communities around the world with the purchase of sorely needed national properties and, as the pioneers have arisen and gone forth in troops to ensure the spiritual conquest of the planet, new believers have embraced the Cause on the homefront, resulting in more than 300 new localities being opened to the Faith and the formation of 45 additional Local Spiritual Assemblies at Ridván, thus establishing an enlarged base of operations from which additional pioneers must now go forth to further illumine and strengthen the five continents of the globe.
You may be assured that we shall continue to remember you in our prayers at the Holy Shrines, supplicating that Bahá'u'lláh will guide, bless and sustain you, individually and collectively, as you continue to labor to execute your numerous and varied responsibilities.
With loving Bahá'í greetings,
The Universal House of Justice
