Hi Everyone! 
I am a christian male in his mid 20s and I live in the middle of Europe.
I grew up in a loving family.
My parents raised me and my brothers in the fear of the Lord and each member eventually became truly born-again.
However, way before that, I quickly came to realize that not everyone around shares the love of God as we do.
In fact, I saw many that called themselves unbelievers and later I learned „Atheists“.
This was many, many years ago and things have worsened since by far.
I talk with multiple people on a daily basis at the place where I work and in the process of the services we offer, I often get to know them a little bit better.
The absolute vast majority of all the people who tell me about their personal life and believes are either atheistic or agnostic.
Those, who I was able to carefully identify as christians, never seem to talk about their faith.
But to be fair, I rarely do so too when I am in public.
It should not be excused, although I gotta say that I am being put under test. (can’t compare with 3rd world country christians)
That’s because some get offended and most just want to be left alone when I try to share Jesus with them.
They will even tell you that in the face without blinking.
I personally dislike it, but I respect them for being straight-up lol.
But that’s the actual condition of the masses here in regards to the christian faith or religion in general.
Days have the capacity to become so, so frustrating.
Despite all of that, I still love my country because, objectively speaking, it’s a true diamond of Europe.
Coming in with the fact that a good number of these so called „christians“ here practice sin and have not been renewed by the Spirit yet.
After I became born-again, God told me to wait for the right woman to enter my life. Many years passed away but she never came, even up to this day.
Those few who appeared to be christian women turned out to be fornicators (lukewarm) after getting to know them a bit better.
Most of the few, true christian women around my age in my area are already married and I visited a good amount of churches to fact check that.
It’s a pain in the heart, honestly.
I even attended christian fellowship meet-ups. I saw a few single Ladies there.
For them, the Bible is nothing more than a „good guidance“ through life.
At those meetings, I heard stuff like „There are many ways to God“ and so on. Instant red flag😅.
My family and I visited the United States of America once for a couple of weeks in 2017.
We spent a good amount of time in the Bible Belt so you can probably tell that I was completely flashed by the whole christian environment and lifestyle.
Even if I wouldn’t move there for a lifetime, I absolutely fell in love with the US.
I am also aware that the US has seen a huge shift away from God as the foundation of their nation in most recent years, but I still feel like many of the American people in most of the states are devoted christians who fear God and keep His good commandments.
Things are not looking good over here so I actually plan to go to the US once the time is right and take a deep dive into their christian communities, haven’t planned much further ahead, lets see haha.
Pretty much everything we saw and also most of the American people we’ve met were absolutely lovely and good to talk to which makes me frustrated when I compare them to the citizens of my own country.
Thank each and every single one of you who took their time reading these many words.
I kindly request your prayers for me and my country
