If it's bad, ya still going back home?

the oregon district has seen some of its larger churches leave, good solid churches, not sure if all of them joined with WPF, but I know a few have. I think that it has caused issues among pastors, friendships to be destroyed. I think the number of churches is sitting at 11 and still counting.
The leadership in Oregon District is great. People leaving has nothing to do with leadership in Oregon, the UPC has spoken about their decision on TV and Pastors are having to make tough decisions for their churches. We need to pray for the UPCI, WPF, and all the independent apostolic churches and their pastors. They need our support, not bashing them. Let them make the decisions that I believe that they have spent time with God about. God is coming for a CHURCH (HIS CHURCH) not an organization. THere is only 2 sets of people that I feel are being hurt by this whole thing, that is the missionaries and the souls that have not yet heard the truth... If we keep focusing on people pulling out of the UPC, whos doing this and whos doing that, we are allowing souls to go to hell.. Get in a full gospel apostolic church, get behind your church and pastor 100% and not look back, lets reach for the souls, whether its in a UPC, WPF, or any other oneness church... LEts have REVIVAL!!! WE need REVIVAL from GOD>... I need REVIVAL!!!
