Saint Frederik Francis originally founded Church of New Hope 20 years ago by writing the 349-page holy text "Gospel of New Hope." It's a collection of visions, poetry, stories, and rituals written by St. Francis and forms the foundation for "Church of New Hope". He also wrote two other holy books, "The Human Journey" and "Shalama's Love". These books are heavily studied by the monks and nuns who worship Shalama. Around 44 A.D., St. Francis transferred church leadership to Jon Yakazura due to becoming too elderly of a leader. He was in retirement for 2 years until him and a group of his followers on a holy meditation journey through Zone 8 were killed by a swarm of entities. None of their bodies were ever recovered. This has further deified Frederik Francis and so he was given posthumously the title of Saint by his followers. The monastery in Zone 6 was also named in his honor.
