Call For Pioneers
The Office of Pioneering is looking for someone to pioneer in Lahaina, Maui. They would initiate devotional meetings, study circles, and offer other services to that community. A Baha'i has offered a room in their house. Please get in touch with the Office of Pioneering if you know anyone who would be able to render this service.
|
Kauai is also looking for a pioneer of Marshallese background to support the efforts in the Hanamaulu community. Please get in touch with us if you know anyone who would be able to render this service.
|
We are also in need of pioneers to serve in Kuhio Park Towers and Manoa. These areas will need replacements to keep the work going.

O God, my God! With utter lowliness and fervour, humility and devotion, I implore Thee with my tongue and my heart, with my spirit and my soul, and with my mind and my conscience, to grant the most cherished of all desires, destine the most meritorious of all deeds, and ordain all honour and perfection, favour and beauty, prosperity and salvation for this family that hath hastened to Thy sheltering shadow at the break of Thy resplendent morn and sought refuge within Thy safe haven and Thy mighty stronghold. Verily, these souls heeded Thy call, drew nigh unto Thy Threshold, were set aflame with the fire of Thy love, and were carried away by the breaths of Thy holiness. They were constant in the service of Thy Cause, humble before Thy Countenance, and noble beneath Thy sheltering shadow. They are renowned as the bearers of Thy name amongst Thy people and make mention of Thee amidst Thy servants.
|
O God, my God! Exalt them by Thine ancient glory, honour them in Thy Kingdom of grandeur, and assist them with the hosts of Thy favours in this great Day. O Lord, my God! Raise aloft their banner, grant them an ampler share of Thy protection, spread abroad their signs, and increase their radiance, that they may become a glass for the lamp of Thy manifold favours and spreaders of Thy loving-kindness and bounties.
|
O Lord, my God! Be Thou their companion in their loneliness, and in their moments of anguish surround them with Thine aid. Bequeath unto them Thy Book and vouchsafe unto them the full measure of Thy gifts and bestowals. Thou art in truth the Mighty, the Powerful, the Gracious, the Bountiful, and verily, Thou art the Merciful, the Compassionate.

Pioneering in the Nine Year Plan
|
"Center your energies in the propagation of the Faith of God. Whoso is worthy of so high a calling, let him arise and promote it. Whoso is unable, it is his duty to appoint him who will, in his stead, proclaim this Revelation, whose power hath caused the foundations of the mightiest structures to quake, every mountain to be crushed into dust, and every soul to be dumbfounded.…".
|
If you are unable to go pioneering yourself there are a couple of ways you can deputize pioneers.
|
- You can earmark funds to the Hawaii Pioneer Fund
- You can earmark funds to the International Pioneer Fund for the Pacific Region

Skills and Capacities of Strong Pioneers
"In terms of skills and capacities, pioneers are most effective when they have gained significant experience in wielding the instruments and methods of the global Plans and have developed the capabilities required to raise and support an expanding nucleus of individuals serving with intensity. A pioneer’s abilities to serve as a tutor, engage youth and their families in the institute process, and accompany them as they arise to serve, are vital. "

Pioneering in the Nine Year Plan
Passing the Third Milestone
"...it is imperative that during the Nine Year Plan the process of growth reach this level of intensity in at least one cluster in every country and every region. This constitutes one of the Plan’s chief objectives and it will call for the concentrated effort of many a consecrated soul. Foremost among these will be the deployment of teams of international and homefront pioneers who are familiar with the framework for action and are prepared to dedicate significant amounts of time and energy to serving the Cause over a number of years."
