"...If a small number of people gather lovingly together, with absolute purity and sanctity, with their hearts free of the world, experiencing the emotions of the Kingdom and the powerful magnetic forces of the Divine, and being at one in their happy fellowship, that gathering will exert its influence over all the earth. The nature of that band of people, the words they speak, the deeds they do, will unleash the bestowals of Heaven, and provide a foretaste of eternal bliss. The hosts of the Company on high will defend them, and the angels of the Abhá Paradise, in continuous succession, will come down to their aid."

Endeavours:
- We started a new devotional in the focus neighborhood of Rutland. The theme was around "True Happiness" we share our though around the quotes and prayers. This was followed by a disused how to draw others into this space and a date was set for the next one.
- The Lion's Project, teaching campaign team gathered together to continue its plans. A few adults and youth will be gathering on the 23rd and 24th for a weekend of prayers, study and outreach/home visits to youth to extending an invite to the upcoming summer campaign. This wknd will be followed by an Info night on the 26th.
- What was to be an evening of mowing the lawn turned into a opportunity to continue to build on the relationships we are trying to make with our neighbors. It started with one of my neighbors coming over to talk, then his wife joined us followed by a 2nd neighbor, eventually there were six of us. By the time we went our separate ways an invite had been extended to me to visit one of the families on Canada Day.
During the expansion phase we would like to have at least one home/space open each day, for friends to gather together for prayers.
