Across deserts and oceans, legal advisers, doctors and even octogenarians heeded a singular call: to carry the Bahá’í message to the world’s most remote corners. From a brigadier-general cooking eggs on sun-scorched rocks to a young physician trading servants and salary for a \$25-a-month post over snake-infested waters, these Knights of Bahá’u’lláh embodied unwavering courage and self-abnegation. Their stories of resilience amid isolation and hardship bring to life the true spirit of service.

Hailing from more than two dozen nations, 131 men and 126 women—from a fourteen-year-old youth to an eighty-five-year-old pioneer—left home to forge new communities where the Faith was unknown. Each sacrifice, whether braving loneliness or embracing extreme conditions, became the adventure of a lifetime and etched their names on Shoghi Effendi’s Roll of Honour.

This inspiring anthology celebrates their indomitable resolve and invites readers to discover how ordinary individuals can transform the world through steadfast faith and boundless goodwill.
