About Eric A. BenJamin
Eric A. BenJamin was born on the island of Dominica, located between the two French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, in the Caribbean. This island isn’t to be confused with the Dominican Republic, which speaks Spanish and is located on the island of Hispaniola, shared with Haiti, we speak English and our native dialect of Patois, a broken French language.
I left the Catholic church and accepted Jesus as my savior at a tender age of 7, I was full water submersion baptized in the Roseau river and continued attending services there. I moved from Dominica to the US Virgin Islands where I graduated from High School and joined the United States Navy and served for 30 years as an Aircraft/ Engine Mechanic. I never stopped serving God. I served as a Deacon at my church and received my calling to enter the ministry and answering that call was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I have studied the KJV bible and believe every word written therein.
Upon leaving the US Navy, I worked as a Civil Servant for 18.5 years, during this time I also furthered my education at Websters School of Business, graduating with my Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and I am working on my Master’s in Divinity, and in pursuant of my Doctorate’s in Divinity. I have been blessed with children and grand children, and I continue to serve God in Spirit and in Truth, and continuing in all aspects of the Ministry. I’m called upon to administer prayer before the City Council at the start of their monthly Meetings and serving in my community in any way I can, and always encouraging someone, anyone to try Jesus, because he’ll never let you down.
