After being made aware of the fate of their captured rescue teams, church members, and the runaway The Faithful are devastated. The pastors need to find a way to get their flock to set aside their grief, refocus and redouble their efforts to move forward with their plans to fulfill the prophecy. Requiring huge leaps of faith in several directions simultaneously tests the strength of the entire community.
Evil seizes the opportunity to plant more seeds of doubt, fear and mistrust. Sow thoughts of greed, power, and jealousy along with small doses of guilt and shame. Rumors spread of an evil presence moving through the community once again. Frequent sightings are reported of a dark cloaked man with a hideous face appearing all over the city. When another child is kidnapped the rumors begin to spread, the people quickly lose faith, and question their hasty decision to return to South Point.

Having received answers to some their prayers the community finds the strength to move on with fulfilling the prophecy. Some answers turn out to be more painful than not knowing. The return of the rescued bring new problems and levels of pain not anticipated. The desired closure for the family remained elusive.​
​
Like termites in an old wooden house eating away at the foundations, unseen by the unconcerned occupants going to and fro, evil reveals its presence and its goal to bring down the church, and its award winning hospital, like a house of cards. Once again, its starts with the spiritual leaders of the community and evil can only be satisfied by this beacon on a hill, this stronghold of The Kingdom, being burned to the ground. Its historical memorial being nothing but a giant heap of ashes.
​
Under the watchful eye of court appointed auditors, the scrutiny of the media, and the evil presence determined to destroy their faith, The Faithful continue their struggle. Seemingly taking two steps forward and one step back the town is reeling from the constant barrage of bad news. As if headlines of kidnapped children still missing, crime and gang activity increasing, the continued reports of the mysterious cloaked man were not enough. Now we can add embezzlement, fraud, harassment, violation of trust charges being leveled against all levels of management.
​
Lucifer has released another artifact of evil, known as The Seeker, to bring down the hated Servants of God. The pastor's of the hated South Point Community Church.
