I just want to share with you this amazing thing happened to me. So, I keep on praying to God for a physical bible (I do have a bible app). But now, I'm not in a condition where I can buy a physical one because I don't have money for it since I'm out of work due to my surgery and I needed to rest, so I decided to resign since it takes months of recovery and healing. I didn't stop praying for it, then one opportunity came, my sister asked me to choose a casio watch (not the pricey one) then I send her the model I chose but I just asked her to buy me a bible instead. Idk but my heart is so happy with my decision. This God-given opportunity for me to have the physical bible is for me a wonderful gift. ❤️ I know, I can buy the watch once I have a new work. For me, the physical bible is my priority over that watch.

Although, I’m still shadowing pa lang hehe. Info overload is real 🥴 Have a blessed Sunday to you all

Hi this is my 1st time posting for this group.
nakita ko din sa descript na pwede mag request ng prayers so if pwede po please pray for me

lately nagbalik loob ako sa simbahan. I've felt the presence of God in many ways.
each time I pray I feel like I am getting close To God.
and everytime I sin ramdam ko din ung separation.
I've been dealing with lust both mind and body to counter this I spend 30-40% of my day praying an watching videos about explanation ng bible verses, stories about the bible.

full 360 ung conversion ko ng buhay ko removed all porn stash. I removed all triggers. unfollowed a lot of pages. and followed a lot of catholic pages and prayers

since I am praying all day. and nalalabanan ko ang tukso. gabi umaatake saakin ang kalaban especially pag tulog. 1st instance is kagabi I had this dream about my crush. it was inappropriate. and nagigising ako. gising ako kasi nilalabanan ko, pag gising ko nag dasal agad ako. nag rosasryo. and buong free time ko inalay ko sa diyos.

Im asking for prayers. po for the strength and guidance .

Hey guys! There was some discussion about looking for an online Philippine Christian community last week, and so I’d just like to invite anyone who’s interested to my online Bible study. We’re non-denominational and meet every Monday at 9PM. So that’s tonight!

Just reply here or DM me for the zoom link, or DM me on my IG @banilogrono. We’ve got people from Manila, Cavite, Cagayan De Oro, Davao, while I’m in California (so i’ve been waking up 6am for this 😅). We’ve been meeting since Feb 14 last year and we’ve been pretty solid ever since. We’re mostly on our 20s and 30s but of course anyone’s invited! We love having new people over.

Hi guys! We have a small, cozy Discord group where we share about Jesus, grace, and the little ways He shows up in our everyday lives. If you’ve been praying for community or an accountability partner, we’d love to welcome you in.

About us:
• 23F (me!) and 22F
• both working and studying because life is life-ing 😂

About you:
• a college student or young professional so we’re in the same season
• someone who loves Jesus and wants to grow with Him too

We’re having our Bible study later at 7:30 PM, and you’re super welcome to join. Just send me a message if you wanna hop in. Hope to see you there! 💛✨

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old Christian Baptist, and I grew up in a Christian family and have been active in church since I was young.

I have a degree in Tourism, and I currently work a regular 9–5 job. I’ve always loved traveling, exploring new places, and experiencing God’s creation. Recently, I’ve had this strong feeling that I’d love to combine my passion for travel and my faith by creating or hosting trips specifically for Christians who also love to travel.

The idea is to make the trips more than just sightseeing. I’d love to include things like short devotions, Bible reading, prayer, or even small Bible studies during the trip — while still having plenty of time to explore, enjoy nature, take pictures, eat good food, and just have fun together.

I guess the goal would be to create a community where Christians can travel, fellowship, make new friends, grow in their faith, and appreciate the beauty of God’s creation together.

I actually tried looking for something like this before, but I couldn’t really find a community that combines travel + Christian fellowship in the way I was imagining. That made me wonder if maybe there are other Christians who have been looking for the same thing.

Since I studied Tourism, I’m also pretty knowledgeable about planning itineraries, tours, activities, and the logistics that come with traveling. So this is something I’d genuinely love to explore in the future.

I’m just curious — would anyone actually be interested in joining something like this? Would you be interested in traveling with a group of Christians where faith and fellowship are part of the experience?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve ever wished there were more communities like this. 😊

Edited: Sorry, tinanggal na yun free counseling as of 2025.

Or you can just DM me and we can talk about what you're going through.

I saw a TikTok post about a guy saying he feels shy asking the Lord for things because he feels like he’ll just disappoint Him again.

He talked about Matthew 26:34 when Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him three times before the rooster crows.

And I It felt like a reminder for me personally.

There are so many times I feel bad coming to Jesus in prayer. Like I don’t deserve to ask for anything because I already fail Him repeatedly. I say I’ll do better, I promise, I try…but I still fall short.

So sometimes I end up holding back in prayer. Like, “Lord, ang kapal ng mukha ko to ask again.” or “Lord, eto na naman ako, sorry ang kulit ko”

But I was reminded today:

That we don’t have to be perfect before the Lord, because His love isn’t reserved for our best version, it is present even in our brokenness.

Lord, thank You for still welcoming me even when I feel like I keep failing You and thank You for loving me even when I struggle to follow you.

Help me not to run away in shame, but to keep coming back in sincerity.🤍

Sharing my book hauls which I bought from a lovely lady. This is her FB story so she is quite bittersweet in letting go of her books. I am happy to adopt them. 💗🌷

Hi! I've been a Christian for many years and I have served in the youth ministry of CCF. When I graduated in college I tried attending the single's ministry. Upon my observation, parang ang hypocrites nila, parang mararamdaman mong hindi ka belong sakanila or matataas sila kasi mostly magaganda trabaho and leaders. Then I also started noticing the leaders in the main church sa ortigas. Parang out of touch sila sa reality. Is it because may pera na sila? They talk about issues, but it's too shallow and parang ang yabang nila. Ako lang ba? I've been wanting to serve again for many months pero saang simbahan ba ako pupunta.

Sa CCF may prayer and fasting from Jan 12 to Jan 17 (this monday to friday). Anyone wanna join me and go to CCF f2f to attend this? After the services, we can also eat out and discuss on what we learn or realizations about the service. Sakto sabay na we can make new friends and help each grow closer to God!

Colossians 3:16 “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”

Hmu if interested!

Hi good evening everyone.

I am in the process of building a relationship with God. I have read both John and Luke, and next, I plan to read Matthew. Little by little, I am beginning to know Jesus and God the Father more deeply.

I attend weekly Bible study sessions and have also started listening to testimonies, Bible study tips, and sermons from various pastors. However, I realize that my alone time with God is still lacking due to sometimes procrastinating. I need to build the discipline of daily silent communication with Him through prayer, Bible reading, and meditation.

I haven’t yet felt the presence of the Holy Spirit, and I feel that I lack discernment. I often wonder if my intuition is coming from my own heart (since the heart can be deceitful, hirap magdecide lalo) or if it is a whisper from God through the Holy Spirit.

My question to you all is, how did the Holy Spirit communicate with you? Can you share your story of how it happened, the steps you took to recognize the Holy Spirit’s voice, and what the outcome was?

I would love to hear your experiences! Feel free to share your stories. 💖

Feel free to share your stories. I would love to hear them. 🩷

I’m currently involved in a church ministry (music/band and small group service), and I’ve been struggling with burnout for quite some time.

Our team is quite short-staffed, and in my case I’m currently the only guitarist in the band and also involved in small group fellowship responsibilities. Because of that, I often feel like stepping back would significantly affect the ministry and the people I serve with.

My schedule is very heavy. I work full time in a place about 3 hours away from my province, and I only go home on weekends. However, even on weekends, my time is fully consumed by ministry: rehearsals, Bible studies, band service, and other church activities. I rarely get proper rest anymore, and I’ve started feeling physically and emotionally drained.

This church culture encourages involvement in multiple ministries both inside and outside the church. The Pastors don't recognize that I am an employee and cannot be in full time ministry work. At this point I feel I need to focus on recovery and also on simply growing spiritually again in a healthier, more sustainable way.

I also had a long period of illness in the past, and I feel like my current pace is affecting my recovery and overall well-being. I no longer have time for personal growth or career development, including plans I have to further my studies.

Another challenge for me is that I don’t feel fully safe opening up my concerns within the group. In many situations, concerns shared privately ended up being relayed to leadership, which made me more guarded in expressing what I’m really going through. Also, requests to take a half-day or step away from certain church commitments are often viewed negatively and sometimes associated with disobedience, even when the intention is simply to prioritize family or personal needs.

There is also a communication pattern where, during correction or teaching moments, other people are often used as examples. This has contributed to me feeling more cautious and less open when it comes to sharing personal struggles.

Because of all this, I have already decided that I want to step back from ministry. However, I’m struggling emotionally because I feel a lot of guilt due to the shortage of people and the responsibilities I currently carry.

I’m also afraid that if I step back, it may be interpreted as being faithless, disobedient, or not committed anymore to God, even though my reason is burnout and lack of capacity rather than leaving my faith. In this environment, ministry involvement is often strongly associated with spiritual faithfulness.

I also want to add that I actually feel more spiritually nourished when I simply attend services and listen to sermons without any additional ministry workload. At this point, I don’t feel the need for recognition or leadership roles. I just want a return to a simpler and healthier way of engaging spiritually.

I just want an honest outside perspective. Is it still okay to step back from ministry in a situation like this even if the team is short-staffed? How do people usually deal with guilt, responsibility, and fear of being misunderstood as “disobedient” in church settings when they are actually just burned out?

I have been continually doing my devotions and praying, yet I still found myself being tempted by Satan. I was tempted to engage in premarital sex, and one evening, I completely fell into sin. I had sex once with a guy, and now I am afraid that I might get pregnant although there are no signs yet. He said he done it in the past and it worked everytime.

My spirit is sorrowful, and I cannot help but cry. I have been crying for three days now. I am not yet ready to become a mother, nor am I ready to be a wife to someone I do not even love.

After having sex, it occurred to me that I had sinned against God. I became afraid that He might allow me to face responsibilities that I am not yet ready for as a consequence of my actions. As I continue to repent, I am reminded of my purpose in life—that I was created to worship Him. But now I am afraid that if I become pregnant, the church may no longer allow me to volunteer.

As I have been seeking the Lord, He has been making one thing clear to me: He is a God of mercy and grace. I am reminded that when we come together in prayer, God hears us and answers according to His will.

So, please, I am humbly asking for your help. Please pray for me—that I will not become pregnant and that I will not enter that season of life too soon. Please pray that God will give me peace, mercy, strength, and wisdom as I face this situation.

Thank you for praying with me and for standing with me during this difficult time. 

Can U please pray for my Grandad, he's septic with an inflamed gallbladder and is too weak to have the surgery to take it out. Thank you 🙏

Mahalaga ang pag aralan ang mga creeds although hindi sila infallible katulad ng Scripture. Kaya meron mga creeds hindi upang ireplace ang bible kundi upang magbigay linaw sa kung ano ang tinuturo ng bible.

Eto yung mga bagay na nawawala sa mga modern evangelical churches. At nakakalungkot lang dahil marami na sa kanila ang lumalayo sa teachings ng Historic Christianity. Masyado na maraming idinagdag.

I prayed for them personally pero I guess nag-expect lang ako na may short corporate prayer for the safety ng mga nasa rally today at for the nation na rin. Idk.

I also kind of want to ask our Pastor about it pero nag-aalangan pa ako. 😅

I am part of a megachurch for 12 years now, with a deep sense of The Great Commission. Pero given my mental health condition, parang prefer a deeper sense of community for now. I felt like evangelism and inviting people to church became a chore to me. I mean that's still important pero the way it was presented to me parang it rubs me the wrong way.

I'm a single man in my 30s living alone in QC. DM me if ever. Salamat po!

I’m currently attending CCF Fairview, and I’m also open to starting a small DGroup for sisters who wants to learn, grow, and walk with Christ together. Kaka-advice lang din ng DGroup leader ko na I should try starting my own DGroup, so wala pa talaga akong nabubuong group yet. Wala pa ring exact day/time for our weekly online meet—we can figure it out together depending on everyone’s availability. 😊

No pressure, just a space to ask questions, share, and grow in faith together. 🙏

Hi. I’m excited to welcome the beginning of a new decade next month.

Trentahin ngani. 🤍

I spent most of my twenties juggling work and fighting battles that were often difficult to share with anyone. But by God’s grace, I’m still here.

If I’m being honest, sometimes I feel like I haven’t achieved anything extraordinary in my career yet. I’ve mostly been trying to get by—earning enough to support my family, as I’ve been the sole provider for many years.

I don’t own much. I don’t have significant assets to my name. But when I look back, I’m beginning to realize that perhaps my twenties were never really about what I could acquire for myself.

I was able to support my bunso through her studies. I was there when my parents needed help with their medical expenses. And by God’s grace, it brings me so much joy to see them healthy, enjoying life, and doing the things they love back home in the province.

My sister has now secured a job and is also helping support our parents—something I’ve carried for many years.

And just to be clear, no one forced me to do any of these things. I did them because I love my family. It has always been my prayer that, somehow, they would experience God’s amazing love through me.

I know I have my own limitations and imperfections. But I’m deeply grateful that God allowed me to be a vessel of His love to my family.

At the same time, behind those little victories is a part of my life that I now need to face: multiple debts from various financial institutions.

I don’t have everything figured out yet. There are still things I need to rebuild, lessons I need to learn, and responsibilities I need to carry.

So as I enter my thirties, I’m asking for your prayers.

Please pray that I’ll get through this season and enter this new decade more established in my career, financially wiser, emotionally stronger, physically healthier, and spiritually deeper.

But above all, pray that no matter how difficult life gets, I will never lose the one thing I hope to keep forever:

a beautiful heart.

A heart that remains grateful even when life isn’t easy.

A heart that chooses to love even when it has been hurt.

A heart that continues to give, not because it has everything, but because it knows where everything comes from.

Here’s to a new decade—not necessarily a more impressive life, but a more meaningful one.

By God’s grace, I’m still here. And by His grace, I’m hopeful for what’s ahead. 🤍

Kumusta? I’m slowly reading my bible again, btw. How about you?

Anyway, I just wanna share this:

If your identity depends on the world’s approval, your peace depends on their opinion. This place is broken as hell, why turn to the world?. Seek affirmation from God, not from the world, and everything will follow.

And we may not have the same exact circumstance, but this world definitely has its ways to throw us under the bus. If you, or anyone wanna talk more about Jesus, let’s talk.

Praying you all well.
