To all believers in the United Kingdom
Dearly loved Friends,
The National Spiritual Assembly of the United Kingdom is one of a number of National Assemblies selected by the Universal House of Justice to participate in the International Financial Collaboration Programme. This means that, at the direction of the House of Justice, it is entrusted with periodically assisting our sister National Assemblies around the world in financial undertakings.
We are pleased to announce that the House of Justice has now called upon the friends in the United Kingdom to aid the National Spiritual Assembly of Liberia with financial assistance to cover expenses related to various renovation and construction projects in their country. Approximately £18,000 (US$24,000) will be contributed from the United Kingdom.
In the current Five Year Plan, the National Assembly has pledged £270,000 (£54,000 per annum) towards the International Collaboration Fund from which contributions have already been assigned as follows:
- Assisting in the purchase of two vehicles for the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- The construction of the National Ḥazíratu’l-Quds in the Bahamas
We succeeded in meeting our goal for the first year of the Plan. For the current year ending 31 December 2017, an additional £28,670 is needed to meet our target.
Contributions to the International Collaboration Fund can be made in the following ways towards the above mentioned pledge:
