One Piece, I will gather the faith

"Hurry to the church! I heard that the priest of the God Church is here to bless the believers!"

"Really?"

"Yes, I heard that this time it is not just welfare, but more benefits!"

"What are you waiting for, hurry up!"

Then the two people who were talking hurriedly ran towards the church.

The news spread quickly among people like wings.

At this time, on the street, more and more people were seen rushing to the church. Obviously, they were all believers of God, because no real believers were willing to miss this special moment.

And more people who did not believe in God did not understand. They were discussing in groups of three or five what big thing had happened today and why those who ran towards the church were so excited.

This scene happened in the streets and alleys of the town.

This was Lake's arrangement, so that so many people knew the news of his coming here in time.

After all, it has been three months since the church was built, and the operation of churches everywhere has been on track.

Therefore, he wanted to make a big move to let more people know about Ula and join the ranks of believers. So, he started to inspect the churches in the Frost Kingdom, and today he happened to come to North Wind Harbor.

The location of the North Wind Harbor Church is not remote, and it covers a large area. There is a spacious square in front of the church, which is also a factor that must be considered when building each church, for large-scale ceremonies.

Lake looked around the crowd in the square. It was huge. About 5,000 people gathered here. Looking at everything in front of him, Lake couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Although it is still far from the ultimate goal, he believes at this time that at least he is on the right path and has achieved good results.

Just when Lake was complacent, a figure appeared at the door. It was Tobias, the pastor in charge of the church, an 18-year-old boy with a pious face and a little mature.

"Priest, can we start? The believers are almost all here." He asked respectfully.

"Well, yes." Lake nodded and stood up.

Then, he followed Tobias to the high platform at the front of the square, and the last person walked up slowly.

When they reached the highest point, Lake appeared in the sight of the believers. Those who had only seen his photos saw him in person for the first time, which instantly triggered the believers' warm cheers, and the atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.

After all, each of them had heard the pastor tell Lake's deeds with their own ears, and knew that it was Lake who founded the religion in accordance with God's will, and it was also him who saved orphans and the elderly from hunger.

Seeing the cheers of the crowd, even if the past and present lives were counted, it was the first time that Lake would speak in front of so many people, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

After all, at this time, he had a strong power to support him, so that he had enough confidence to face everything.

He looked around at the believers in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said:

"We are all God's people. It is God's arrangement that we can come here today. May we always be bathed in God's glory!"

His voice was loud and clear, and everyone could hear it clearly. After saying this, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed devoutly.

The believers in the square also followed Lake's movements and performed the same ceremony. They were all believers of God and were already familiar with such links.

Therefore, the whole square was silent.

Then he continued to tell the story.

"I have seen God's heaven, where believers are carefree, live a rich life, and are immersed in joy every day."

"There, everyone is equal, free, and has an immortal life."

"That is the eternal heaven, the world where God is!"

"And your faith will determine whether you enter it or experience suffering again in the world!"

......

Lake's vivid description of the eternal heaven made the believers' eyes flash with a strange light, and they seemed to be looking forward to the carefree eternal kingdom.

Many believers were breathing rapidly and their emotions were high. They stared at Lake intently, and the pious expressions on their faces were beyond words.

Lake also keenly noticed that the speech just now made many believers more resolute in their faith.

Before, most believers were in the shallow stage of faith, and they might still be skeptical about the existence of God. They chose to believe in God only because of the church's good deeds, but they still had a little doubt in their hearts.

Today, Lake clearly described God's kingdom of heaven and the conditions for entering heaven, and the believers really yearned for it, and their faith became more firm.

At this moment, many believers' faith became more devout, and they allMany people have turned into true believers, but the number of sincere believers is still less than 100.

However, Lake is not in a hurry. The effect is very good and the direction is right, so he is very satisfied.

After all, this matter cannot be rushed.

After telling the story of the Eternal Heaven and the Reincarnation, Lake led the believers in a new prayer ceremony again.

After all, the solemn gods need to be treated solemnly, and collective rituals can also allow believers to integrate more naturally.

Then, Lake said again: "Following the will of God, my duty with the God Church is to allow true believers in God to have a better life in this era and try not to experience the suffering of the world."

"Therefore, today, all those who truly believe in God will be protected by God in the future."

"But God knows everything and sees everything. He can sense the faith in everyone's heart. You don't need to lie or speak. As long as you pass by me, God will naturally leave instructions."

This exciting news instantly set off the whole audience. People talked about it, looking forward to God's protection and wondering whether God can really sense their faith.

At Lake's signal and with the order maintained by the Guardian Knights, the believers were divided into three teams, with 10 people from each team walking slowly across the platform.

When they reached the center of the platform, everyone faced Lake devoutly, clasped their hands together solemnly, and said, "May we always be bathed in the divine light."

It took 2 hours for the 5,000-person team to pass through once. And such a solemn ceremony was only to accurately find the more than 100 faithful believers and grant them shelter in the eyes of the crowd.

In the last link, in the expectation of everyone, Lake said to everyone.

"You are all believers of God, but their faith is the most devout. In fact, you don't need the gods to perceive, you know your faith yourself. But don't worry, God will always watch you and wait for you."

Afterwards, Lake distributed a jade pendant to each of the more than 100 faithful believers. The front of the pendant depicted the merciful posture of God, and the back was their names carved by Lake himself on the spot.

Finally, Lake told everyone that the jade token was a proof of the blessing of the religion. Showing the jade token represented the majesty of the religion, and any bullying would be settled by the religion.

Then, the ceremony ended in the spotlight of everyone.

And Lake also saw from the envious eyes of the crowd that their faith seemed to be slowly becoming more devout.
