Hi.. I became a Christian just last year. My mum found out and strongly didn't allow me to go for church service now. My teacher in school knew my situation and prayed for me together with her pastors in her church. Now there's Saturday service in her church, and she invited me to go and listen to the word of God. Now I attend her church and I feel at home there. I don't want to stop going to church. But one day my mum would find out. And to go for these, I actually lied to her about where I was and all. What do I do. Should I continue to lie to her? Because she would really strangle and kill me.
Another question.. I feel really connected in the church I'm currently in. But I don't know anyone there except my teacher. She goes to the usual Sunday service instead. I don't actually know whether I should get myself involved in the small groups, or whatever. And during services, usually pastor would set aside some time for prayers to be made at the end of the service. I always have the urge to just walk up and say "I NEED A PRAYER"... But is it that the force of God is just not strong enough for me to walk up to the people I don't know for a prayer? Deacons, senior pastor, worship and music pastor, etc. I'm actually scared to even talk to anyone there. I'm a minority.... (It's an international church)
And what about my former church? Right now I can't go to my former church anymore because my mum knows when the cell group meetings are, and when the Sunday services are held. She would not hesitate to call and check on me even if I am not defying her.
I've really prayed about it. And God seems to be giving me the green light to go for church service every week now. I just hope this continues.... Long enough for my mum to accept that I have already taken up the cross and follow Jesus Christ.
