From here there was no looking back. The Baha’I Faith has moved from strength to strength and gained many more victories. There are presently 13 Local Spiritual Assemblies. In 2001 the Government officially recognized the Baha’I Holy Days. Today the Baha’I Community is reaching out to the community at large through devotional meetings, spiritual Institute classes, Children, youth and pre-youth classes as well as devotional gatherings open to all.
