Chapter 982: . Fundraising and Construction (3/5)

Knowing that the other party was a Christian, the Pharaoh whipped and said cautiously, "I don't know much about this."
The man was very temperamental and laughed: "I understand that Chinese people are more familiar with Buddhism and Taoism, but I think there are many Christians in China now, right?"
More than a lot, Wang Bo thinks about couplets posted by many people in the village during the Chinese New Year. He feels pain. What is 'Glory to God and peace to the world'? I thank the Lord for love, and pray for the grace of the New Year '...
Really, when he saw this couplet in the village, he was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the man did not convince him to believe in Christianity. After a brief chat between the two parties, he introduced himself.
The man's name was Rudy Kevlar, who had been a godfather in a church before, but later brought the child to Sunset Town because he wanted to raise a child.
Wang Bo asked curiously, "What job are you doing now? Is it a little expensive to raise your child to give up your career?"
Rudy smiled: "It was abandoned work, but I did not give up my career. I can now provide theological assistance to churches on the Internet, host weddings, and occasionally travel for missionary work, and still serve my Lord faithfully."
Because of Rudy's attitude, Wang Bo was a little curious about religion.
He didn't touch religion because he heard that these people were crazy and would preach crazy if he caught an unbeliever.
Rudy doesn't seem to be this kind of person. He said before that he respects one's beliefs, and also respects one's "belief" that does not believe in God.
Wang Bo asked: "In Christian doctrine, where would an unbeliever like us go after death?"
"Do you still consider these?"
Pharaoh nodded: "I am a bit interested in metaphysics recently. Whenever I am alone, I ask myself, who am I, where do I come from, and where do I want my soul to return in the future? How big is the universe? What is time ... ... "
Rudy laughed abruptly: "I can't answer these questions, only the Almighty God knows these. I'll answer your first question, no doubt, you will go to heaven after death."
Wang Bo was surprised: "Go to heaven? But I am not religious?"
Rudy smiled, "You are a misunderstanding. The teaching of Catholicism is that God loves the world, and God bless all good people, not all his followers."
"Similarly, heaven is for all good people. You are a good man, the mayor. You have created a good town that everyone praises. In a way, you are not a believer, but you are a believer. You are following God. Footsteps. "
Seeing the two people communicating, Uncle Bing came over and said, "Boss, are you finally interested in Catholicism?"
Wang Bodao: "My growing environment determines that I only believe in hard work, but I like to chat with the godfather, and I feel relaxed and happy to chat with the godfather Rudy."
"My honor." Rudy still smiled. This kind of smile is not a formula, but a smile from the bottom of my heart. The smile is very contagious.
At the end of the conversation, Uncle Bing said, "Boss, I suggest that you do a census of faith in the town. Should it be necessary, should we build a church?"
Rudy said: "If the town builds a church, then you have to plan well. When I went to study in Europe, I saw that the church is the best tourist destination. So I hope that if the church is built in Sunset Town, it must be built. It has some style. "
"Are we going to build a church in the town?" A middle-aged man heard his words as he passed his daughter, "Oh my god, we are finally going to build a church. Do we have a place to pray?"
"Then we have to form a choir."
"My daughter can lead, and she was the lead singer of the school choir when she was in Auckland. She would do a great job."
"I donated a statue of to the church. This idol was left by my grandpa."
Talking suggestions spurted out, and more than 20 people soon came around to discuss the issue.
Wang Bo stared at the scene in stun, he felt that he might have underestimated the number of Catholics in the town.
He didn't say anything here. Plans for church building were almost done there. Godfather Rudy was elected as the church godfather and director. The choir was almost set up ...
Eva came over and asked them what the discussion was so fierce. Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "The town may build a church, oh dear, do you believe in Christ, right?"
"I won't believe it at work," the beauty teacher shrugged. "Besides, Ukraine is an Orthodox parish, and we are incompatible with Catholics."
"Incompatibility? Exaggerated? This is not the age of medieval religious wars."
Eva teased: "Don't you say that we are a fighting nation? Since it is a fighting nation, how can it ease the issue of faith?"
March 25, the first Sunday after the vernal equinox, is the Easter weekend in Christianity.
For him, the festival was good. He had won a mysterious heart the night before, but his name was Warning Heart. It looked like a pale green bell. I wondered what it was for.
After using this heart, he used it, and put it anywhere, and the bell wandered on the sand table.
As for the role, it is not clear. Wang Bo has no time to pay attention to this warning. He has other things to do.
Maybe it was learned that the church in the setting sun was about to be built. On Easter Eve, the townspeople decided to launch an Easter parade on their own initiative.
Wang Bo did not have these festivals. The Christmas in the sunset town in previous years was not even grand. Only in Waitangi Day, there will be some activities in Maori Village.
However, judging from the registration situation, this Easter parade is larger than the Christmas parade in the town. When Wang Bo went to see the registration list, the long list scared him.
Uncle Bing, who is counting the list, stood up when he saw him, and said, "Boss, I got good news."
"What good news?"
"Our church members are ready to organize and then hold a fundraising. According to the current situation, it is OK to raise up to 100,000 yuan. We want to raise a church."
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Wang Bo smiled bitterly.
Uncle Bing shrugged: "In the past, no religious activities were organized in the town, and no godfather came. Now that we have a godfather, why don't we build a church?"
"After the church is built, I will also volunteer to serve the worshippers and God." Rudy, who is also on the statistical list, added, "But we need your approval. I hope you can allocate a part of the land to allow us to build a church . "
What else can Pharaoh say? It is obvious that there are a lot of church members in the town when people collect money to build a church by themselves. If they refuse to provide land, this is a bit excessive.
He could not do anything for the Catholics. Rudy was a very sane person, without emphasizing what help he had to provide in this regard as mayor.
However, he cannot prevent some reasonable and legitimate actions of Catholics, such as preparing for churches.
