I am Ainamani John. I lost my parents when I was still about 7 years but I thank God who has enabled me to this age of 22 years. And l believe I will study and finish and have a good living life. Thanks for the Urantia book fellowship may God Jesus Christ Michael be with you all the time.

How l formed a Urantia study group in my community:

Preparing the Groundwork
1. *Prayer and Reflection*: l prayed for guidance and reflected on my motivations for forming a study group. I wanted to share the Urantia Book's teachings with others and create a supportive community.
2. *Identifying Potential Members*: l thought about people in my community who might be interested in the Urantia Book. I considered friends, acquaintances, and fellow spiritual seekers.

Reaching Out and Building Interest
1. *Initial Outreach*: l sent emails and made phone calls to potential members, inviting them to an introductory meeting.
2. *Social Media Post*: l posted about the study group on my social media accounts, including Facebook and WhatsApp
3. *Local Spiritual Events*: l attended local spiritual events, conferences, and workshops, where l networked with like-minded individuals and promoted my study group.

Organizing the Group
1. *Initial Meeting*: l hosted an initial meeting at my home, where l introduced the Urantia Book and discussed the study group's purpose and format.
2. *Choosing Study Materials*: The group decided to start with Paper 1, "The Universal Father," and progress through the book at a pace comfortable for everyone.
3. *Meeting Schedule*: The group agreed to meet bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings.

Launching the Group
1. *First Study Session*: l facilitated the first study session, guiding the group through a discussion of Paper 1.
2. *Encouraging Participation*: l encouraged everyone to share their thoughts, insights, and questions, creating a safe and supportive environment.

Ongoing Growth and Development
1. *Consistent Meetings*: The group maintained a consistent meeting schedule, with me and other members taking turns facilitating discussions.
2. *Service Projects*: The group organized service projects, such as volunteering at a local food bank, to apply the Urantia Book's teachings in practical ways. though we don't have enough access to get money to provide food to needy but we share the word of god with them

By following these steps, l successfully formed a vibrant Urantia study group in my community, providing a supportive environment for spiritual growth, exploration, and service.
