The problem is that we are living in the last days as if in the days of Noah, and few will be of this sort.
There were only 8 people on the ark when the flood came and swept the people of the world away. Noah had many relatives in the waters below who heard his preaching for 120 years and yet refused to listen.
Matthew 24:37-39
"37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."
We are living in this now; most people, even those who say they are Christians, have no interest and are even embarrassed at a discussion about Christ and His principles and commands.
We must be content to wait patiently on God to find those friends for us who love Him as much as we do.
And, once we find them, it is likely that they will come and go in our lives as they carry out what God has for them. Never forget, though, they are our Spiritual siblings for eternity, and there will be all eternity with them later when our work on earth is done.
In the meantime, I praise God for His provision of social media to connect with our Spiritual family all over the world in a matter of seconds. We yearn to see them face to face one day when our work on earth is finished.
John 17:3-5 "…3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed."
Luke 21:28 "Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Psalm 121:1-2 "A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
