Now, as we enter the final, two-year phase of the Seven Year
Plan, we rejoice in the addition of nine new National Spiritual Assemblies;
three in Africa, three in the Americas, two in Asia, one in Europe, bringing
the total number to 143. Five more are to be established in Ridvan 1985. They
are Ciskei, Mali and Mozambique in Africa and the Cook Islands and the West
Caroline Islands in Australasia. Thus the Plan will end with a minimum of 148
National Spiritual Assemblies.
