Service Opportunities
How bountiful, moreover, will be the rewards which He who watches from on high the varying fortunes of the Plan and presides over its destinies, must either in this world or in the next — and it may well be in both — choose to confer upon those, who, at the hour of the Plan’s greatest need, will fly to its succor, exhibit the rarest evidences of courage and heroism, and choose to subordinate their personal interests to the immediate needs and future glory of the community to which they belong. — Shoghi Effendi

Examples of how can I serve?
Service on Mobile Resource Teams:
Visit a goal cluster(s), as part of a team, at least once a week, and have spiritual conversations with local residents in order to come to a shared understanding of the needs of their community and welcome them to the institute process (study circles, children’s classes and junior youth groups) and to devotional gatherings. Then, tutor study circles and accompany new friends in the practices of the study circles and in their paths of service to initiate and sustain their own core activities. Attend team gatherings 3 to 4 times a year to reflect, consult, study and plan your next 3 months. Also, please note that visits to cluster(s) may be more than once per week, depending on the needs of these new friends.
