Badly Needs Prayer

[TribalPastor01]

I am pastor arvin from the Philippines, i was once a member of this forum way back when this platform has just started. Before it has a chat option where we can chat with each other and share our testimonies and prayer request. I have this prayer concern. Someone in facebook named Natalie Galena (i believe it is not her real name) befriended me for one month and we exchanged our experiences and testimonies in the Lord. After a couple of days she introduced to me a bitcoin investment platform. She wants me to invest as the minimum investment is 50$ and it has an interest of 10% daily. At first i said i dont have any money to invest. She keeps on insisting and she said it can help my family and ministry. As i am from a struggling country and dont have any money to invest, she said she will startup my investment for 50$ so i can earn and help the ministry and family. I agreed afterall, i have nothing to loss. After one month, the 50$ she has given to me has grown already to almost 1000 dollars. Now, that we have already chatted for one month and have shared a lot of experiences as she said she is a retired teacher at 60 years old...so she begin to tell me why not invite all my friend pastors and invest in the platform. Without any hesitation, i share to my friend pastors, friends, and members of the church the platform and they gladly gave their money to me to invest in the platform. So, the total investment that we have gathered is around $15,000 dollars. After i have deposited the money in the website, the chat support is not longer responding to my messages, and that certain Natalie Galena is nowhere to be found. Right then at the very moment, i think there is something wrong, and i think we have just been scammed. Now it hurts me so deep, they begin to blame me for the lost investment and they want their money back. I have nothing to give them. I myself has just become a victim also. Please do pray for me, that God will make a way when there seems to be no way and i believe that He can make rivers in the dessert. I have no more face to face the members of the church and my ministry friends. I believe that corporate prayer i an effective tool to allow God to move for our favor. Thanks for prayer and helping. GOd bless..
