Building Momentum

Building Momentum is a video that was released during the 2003-2004 year to all Bahá’í communities.

It was originally planned for release at the National Convention but was instead forwarded by mail, along with a document prepared by the International Teaching Centre titled Building Momentum: A Coherent Approach to Growth, to all National Spiritual Assemblies.

The video Building Momentum offers an inspirational portrait of Bahá’í communities in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Italy, Malaysia, Nepal, and Zambia that are enacting transformation by applying the guidance of the Universal House of Justice in their development. The video allowed the Bahá’ís not only to reflect on the progress made so far during the Five Year Plan, but to see an image of themselves as an energetic, worldwide community on the move, with individuals and groups enthused about taking charge of their own spiritual and material development.

It also enabled Bahá’ís around the world to deepen their appreciation of the systematic processes in which the electors are engaged and to more keenly appreciate the reality of the words of the House of Justice, "The individual alone can exercise those capacities which include the ability to take initiative, to seize opportunities... to win the cooperation of others in common service to the Faith and society."
