The followers of Remey began to grow slowly in spite of the fierce opposition by the mainstream Baháʼí community. Strong groups were formed on several continents followed by the establishment of Local Spiritual Assemblies and the National Spiritual Assemblies in the United States and in Pakistan. In Pakistan, the claim of Remey's guardianship was welcomed by the Baháʼí community. Most of his followers were from Faisalabad and Sialkot. Later on, due to fierce opposition by the mainstream Baháʼís, the Baháʼí Faith under the guardianship of Mason Remey began to weaken and started to decline rapidly.
