Desroulins Independent Baptist Church on the eastern outskirts of Port-de-Paix.

Maranatha Baptist Church is now pastored by Dessentiel Nader. He and his wife were
saved and grew up in the church. Until 2001, Don’s schedule allowed him to pastor as well
as be gone two weekends each month in the training of men.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2). A young preacher of the
first century needed this admonition and so do young preachers in the twenty-first. Benji
is the oldest of Don and Bridgitt’s children, and God called him, his wife Kerri, and their
three children to join his parents in the ministry in Port-de-Paix, Haiti. Since the year
2000, an increase of local church plants and more accessible transportation have allowed
Grace Baptist Bible Institute to recentralize on the property of Desroulins Independent
Baptist Church. The original annexes of the institute have been relocated, and there is an
annual enrollment of 130 men. Each week, the men come for two hours (after completing
homework the previous week) for a total of five years. Over 300 men have exited through
the graduation doors of Grace Baptist Bible Institute since 1977. There have always been
national pastors and graduates teaching in the institute, but it has entered a transition
phase to become completely national led. W
