O
.. it had been months since God gave me a chance to be with my co-youths in church but God sent me here at manila so i've been away from them for almost 3 months now.. before i went here.. it was a struggle in bringing us back together and building a strong responsibility and commitment in our hearts in serving God.. i had been praying for this issue and had been doing my best in encouraging them to go to church and build a strong commitment and bringing back our wonderful relationship..i just want to seek for advice about this? i know it's kind of a problem to have a gap in the a church,. regardless to that idea.. it just hurts me whenever i think of them doing things and completely ignoring the things that God taught us together and how about our testimonies? don't we have a responsibility to ask for God's power to preserve it? and even God said that if we are a friend of this world, we are against Him.. and He also said that faith without work is dead.. i am thinking that if knowing them that they're not going to church anymore hurts me.. what more to God?and i know how wonderful and blessed our group can be.. i know that they have this hidden God-given talents within them and if they won't gonna use it for God, He will snatch it from them.. i don't want that to happen.. I know God has a wonderful plan for us but how will that plan become a reality if we are scattered? well, it is written in Acts 8:4 but we are scattered in a different way.. what am i gonna do about it? i have been praying for it and i wrote here to ask anyone who might read my message,, pls.. i need your prayers.. compare to the grace of our Lord, distance is never a hindrance and i know that prayer is the best weapon against anything.. whatever it is.. God has plans for us but submitting to that plan is still our choice.. A Christian will always be a Christian wherever He may go.. ^^ God bless you and thank you for reading this.. I'll be very thankful for your prayer and even now im very grateful for your time and willingness to this read simple situation of my afc family..
