The support of others does not determine productivity in regards to you doing God's Will. People can support your plan to do the Will of God but that does not bind them aid you. When we start to do the things God has directed us to do, we often start with a BANG!!!! Everybody is on board with you and saying "I am so excited and I am here to help" and then suddenly they are "Gone Like The Wind".
We easily get discouraged, question if we heard from The Lord, and just want to give up. But understand this, God is The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last. He is God. He sparks the desire within us to do His Will. He gives us the ability to do His Will. And we do not stop doing His Will because of lack of support of others, we press on until we have accomplished what He commissioned us to do.
You do not decide if it's over, He does. Trust me the supportive words of others at times may out weigh their productivity. And that is okay because God provides you with the supportive words in The Bible and He provides the strength you need to do His Will (Philippians 4:11-13).
Let's not become bitter with those who have left you (Philippians 2:13). You do not know what God has told them or where He is leading them. So don't judge their actions but when you start something new you should always pray "Lord send the workers to help and those who are not here to help guide them to the place where they can best glorify you".
And if you can help someone be productive in what God has called them to do, pray and ask God what is it He would like you to do. If His Spirit leads you to help than be productive. If His Spirit leads you another direction than pray that God will send the workers (Philippians 1:4).
This is not a critique or a knock against anyone. This is just that gas you need to get the car started again. Stay focused, you can do this!
