A Baha’i friend had been praying for an opportunity to share the message of Baha’u’llah with some one at School. A few days of Ridvan had passed and she did not want to let these Blessed days pass without teaching.
She decided that she needed to pray for an opportunity to teach the Faith at school in a way that would not appear too forward. She was very nervous that a discrete enough opportunity would not arise but continued to pray for divine assistance.
In the staff-room she asked about the maths department. She was introduced to a male teacher who seemed unusual and the conversation is roughly as follows:
Baha’i Teacher: where are your from?
Teacher: Africa
Baha’i teacher: Where in Africa?
Teacher: Cameroon
Baha’i Teacher: My sister and her husband live there!
Teacher: In which city do your family live?
Baha’i Teacher: Bamenda
With great joy he said this is where I am from too. Are you family teachers ?
Baha’i Teachers: yes they are.
A lot of suspense and excitement is now being created between them and the other teachers listening to the conversation.
Teacher: Is it David and his wife?
Baha’i Teacher: Yes that is my family.
Teacher : Oh my! They are very good friends! I used to be a Teacher at the same school where they teach and also taught David’s son. They have had me over to their home many times. Are you a Baha’i too?
Baha’i Teacher: Yes Yes I am ( her prayers were being answered)
Teacher: Oh David has taught me a lot about the Baha’i Faith; it is very beautiful all about Love, Unity and World Peace.
Baha’i Teacher: I am so pleased you know my family and they have told you about the Faith. A conversation continued between the two of them with the interested Teachers staying round to listen to more about the Faith.
The two new friends exchanged contact details and the Baha’i teacher intends to have those interested over for a devotional on her birthday.
The Baha’i teacher was overjoyed and Praised Baha’u'llah for His Assistance.
