These figures are very encouraging but even they are only partial. Some communities do tremendous work in this area (special praise to Omagh!) others get no coverage or at least send nothing in. Think what the results would be if every community were doing its best to secure press coverage for Bahá'í activities and, of course, sharing it with us. Think what a difference it could make if the people of your area were seeing the name of the Faith regularly.
