Benji and Kerri Dryden continue serving as Caribbean Director with Baptist International Missions, Inc., strengthening missionaries and churches throughout the islands.

A key part of Benji’s ministry is recruiting and encouraging future laborers. Recently, he visited two Christian colleges, presenting the need for missionaries—especially in the Caribbean. He also continues preaching in missions conferences and updating churches on what God is doing across the islands.

The Lord has greatly blessed the Caribbean ministry in 2025. Over 700 souls trusted Christ, with many following the Lord in baptism and church membership. Three new churches were established and are continuing to grow. More than half a dozen Bible Institutes are training nearly 200 students to become faithful servants who can teach others also.

Construction projects are underway in several locations to accommodate growth, and Christian schools connected to local churches are reaching hundreds of children with the Gospel—opening doors to reach their families as well. The Lord also added two new missionary couples to the Caribbean team this year.

The Drydens rejoice in God’s continued work and remain committed to seeing the Gospel proclaimed throughout the islands.
