Founder

Who is Pastor J. Enock Deroseney? He is the founder and director of the Good Samaritan Project. First of all, I am happy to be able to declare, without any hesitation at all, that I am a born again Christian; saved by the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, set aside for his service. Those are the best of my credentials. By the grace of God, only I am that I am. Pastor Enock was born on May 3, 1949, in Les Cayes, Haiti (which is in the South Peninsula) of Mr. Monjilma Deroseney, deceased and Rosellia Derruisseaux, who died 3 months after he was born. Upon the death of the mother of little Enock, his father who previously had attended bible school with in mind to become a minister, had seen his plans shattered by the death of his wife as he become the sole nurser for his child.” That is why the day that Enock was ordained as a minister was one of his father’s greatest days in life. During Enock’s very early life, his father moved with him from Les Cayes to make their living in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Led and covered by the grace of the Lord, through hardships and in spite of the difficulties of life, Pastor Enock’s father helped him to live and taught him to know, love, and serve the Lord. Pastor Enock was raised and educated in Port-au-Prince. He went through primary school until the last year before of high school. At that time, he became very sick with TB because of the difficulties for his father to supply for eleven children, as a jobless man. Enock made up this prayer to the Lord as he laid in bed, with no hope for the future. “Lord Jesus, if you want me to be in heaven with you Lord, I am ready, but if you would please let me live again, I will serve you for the rest of my life. After Enock was healed from T.B., he remembered his word with the Lord. He studied and passed the high school equivalency test that allowed him to enter at the evangelical School of Bible of Port-au-Prince (a school lead by graduates of Dallas Seminary Barrington College, Philadelphia Bible School etc… The staff was racially mixed: American and Haitian teachers).
