May this Conference… become a source of strength to the
supporters of the Most Great Name so that despite the rising tide of trials and
upheavals afflicting the world, and whatever forces of opposition may be
mounted against the Cause of God itself, the believers will not waver or become
diverted from their course, but be ever more confirmed in their determination
to raise the edifice of the Faith of God as the last bastion of hope to a lost
and wayward humanity.

Conference in Hong Kong; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice
1963-1986’)
