Benji and Kerri Dryden are thankful for the lasting impact of faithful ministry across generations. Benji reflected on the legacy of his father, Don Dryden, who helped establish churches and ministries in Haiti. That work continues today through national pastors and leaders, including Peniel Baptist Church and Maranatha Baptist Church. The Drydens are especially encouraged by the ongoing work of Grace Baptist Bible Institute, where 78 students recently completed their year of study, with about 80 expected to continue preparing for ministry. 

In their role serving ministries throughout the Caribbean, the Drydens have had many opportunities to encourage missionaries and ministry leaders. They recently participated in a service honoring longtime missionary Fran Young for 53 years of faithful service with BIMI. Their ministry allows them to invest not only in current missionaries but also in those preparing to serve, helping strengthen and encourage families as they follow God’s call.

The summer has also provided opportunities to invest in the next generation of missionaries. Benji and Kerri participated in BIMI Candidate School, where 41 missionary candidates received training, followed by Enrichment Week, where they ministered to ten missionary families. In July, they also helped serve 81 young people at CAMP BIMI, encouraging them as they considered where God might have them serve. The Drydens remain committed to training leaders, strengthening missionaries, and encouraging another generation to take the Gospel throughout the Caribbean and around the world.
