We renew our plea to individual believers, as well as to
National and Local Spiritual Assemblies, to give generous support to the
International Deputization Fund, which will not only be an essential factor in
the speedy settlement of this urgently needed army of pioneers, but will also stimulate
and assist the flow of travelling teachers, whose labours will provide strong
reinforcement to the work of the followers of Bahá'u'lláh in all parts of the
world.

January 1975 to the Baha’is of the World; ‘Messages from the Universal House of
Justice 1963-1986’)
