How many people truly cannot survive without their aid?
Most people lack security, fearing that a natural disaster might take everything from them at any moment. Many followers pray devoutly every day, hoping for a future where, if they or their family become sick or disabled, they can receive help from this small church when they can't afford the expensive costs of divine techniques.
For this, they are willing to give it a try.
It's that simple.
The Mother of Great Bliss has only truly helped one or two hundred people on her journey, with most problems solved by a bit of herbal medicine. Many people are not lacking the ability to survive; rather, they have no opportunity for a decent life. They are willing to work hard and endure hardship, yet they can only struggle in the muddy bottom of society.
Most of these people are not bad, because the bad ones are already mingling in the gray areas. This land is filled with weeds-like, unending bandits.
