Pastor Junior Haley's Testimony

I was born July 06th, 1988 and have been preaching since October of 2002. I did not come from a Christian home, I came from a family filled with any wicked sin you could imagine. One day at eleven and a half years old, on January 02, 2000, I went to church where I heard the gospel preached for the first time in my life. It was there God dealt with me and as a young boy I gave my heart to Him. From there it wasn’t long before God called me to preach and for two years I fought that calling. Praise the Lord, eventually, a preacher explained to me Acts chapter nine and what it meant to kick against the pricks, I realized I was fighting against the Lord. It was then I understood the need to follow God’s calling and surrendered to the call to preach. Most of my time in the ministry was spent as an evangelist in the United States. God moved my heart to come to Belgium as a missionary in February of 2015, after a trip here to meet a group of believers that I had been preaching to through Skype. The woman that I would eventually marry, was one of those believers. We met for the first time, face to face, here in the country of Belgium and were married about a year and a half later. We lived in the United States for almost a year after our marriage, as I continued to preach there and raise support as a missionary to Belgium. Our family moved here on April 04th, 2017 and started the Gent Baptist Church on June 25th, 2017. Our first son, Josiah Patrick Haley, was born here in Gent on September 09th, of the same year. Our first daughter, Emily Elisabeth Haley was born March 12th, of 2019. Our second daughter, Hannah Maria Haley was born July 12th, of 2020. Our third daughter, Victoria Johanna Haley was born May 11th, of 2023. Our fourth daughter Josephina Ruth Haley was born August 2nd, of 2024.
