Ministry
Praise the Lord, this last quarter has been an incredible time in the minis as the Lord has kept a full schedule. There were opportunities to present in missions conferences and throughout the week all over Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. It is amazing to see how God has worked in bringing in support. When I first started praying I asked for 10% by the end of the year and God gave it almost immediately, so I began praying for 20% and God quickly gave that as well. Now just three and a half months into full time deputation and God has already blessed the ministry to have reached 30% of our required support as of November 1st. With a Full schedule and as many as seven churches looking to vote at any time now there is no doubt God is still looking to do something amazing. Just to show you how amazing God is I don’t know what the average is for this but as I was looking and praying over the churches God has allowed the ministry to be presented in; I realized that two thirds of them are supporting already, about half of that other third have expressed a plan to take the ministry on for support, and nearly all have expressed a desire to take the ministry on for support. I say all of that just to show you God’s hand in the ministry to Belgium, . my prayer is that He work in such a way that it is clear only God could have done it.
Personal
I had the blessing to meet a number of pastors and churches as I traveled between 8,000 and 9 000 miles for this quarter alone, this was exciting and a blessing and I am thankful for all of those who made me so welcomed into their churches and homes. I joked with one pastor that in the south we have a saying that we will treat you so many ways you’re bound to like one of them, well I can gladly say I haven’t been treated anything but good. On a more serious note there are a few personal, non ministry, needs and matters that I am praying about and while I am not at a place to discuss them I do trust that you will join me in prayer over these matters. Pray specifically for God to give leadership.
Prayer
Please partner with the ministry in prayer over these specific needs:
Pray for the ministry to reach 40% or more of required support by the end of the year.
Pray for God to give me wisdom in personal decisions I need to make.
Pray for God to guide me in calling pastors and that He would open doors.
Pray that He would continue to fill my schedule going into next year.
Pray for the meetings I have scheduled and for the churches still praying about voting that God would direct t them.
Pray for the group of believers I preach to there in Belgium and Romania that God would bless and work in their lives as well.
Pray for me to be used of God while I am here and to continue to be a light while I work.
Thank you all for your continual prayers concerning myself and the ministry, you are all a blessing and a much needed part of the ministry . Most of you will never know how much of a help you are to me, at least not on this side of eternity.
With Sincere Gratitude, Bro. junior Haley
