As the pastor highlighted, the Church must be present on the virtual reality platform to evangelize, pray for people and lead them to the Gospel.
“The church must be in the metaverse because, I believe, it is a place not only for online interactivity, but a virtual reality of people with people and we can also evangelize, pray for them and lead them to the Gospel,” he said.
Lagoinha in the metaverse will be a church with pastors, moderators and online leaders who will talk to platform users, pray for them and minister the Word of God.
“We will have exclusive events only in the metaverse”, said the pastor who will minister in the first service scheduled for 9 pm (Brasilia time) next Wednesday.
