Missionary Pastor

Pastor Jean Eneck Desir is a native of Port-Au_prince Haiti. Before 2010, Eneck worked as a school teacher in Haiti and an interpreter for a mission team. After the devastating Haitian earthquake of 2010, Eneck left his wife and son and traveled to the United States to find employment. For three years, Eneck worked in the US and supported not only his immediate family back in Haiti, but extended family as well.

In 2012, the Lord told Eneck to turn into the parking lot of Friendship SBC. What started out as a simple invitation to join us at the church that night for a cookout turned into a two year relationship, and eventually our church decided to get involved in the restorative process of Haiti. In 2013, we began building our international sister church outside of Port-Au-Prince named Friendship Baptist of Haiti. And then in January of 2014, our church voted to commission Eneck as a missionary of our church, and to support him financially so he could return to Haiti and oversee the many mission projects we have planned. Eneck is simply a contagious individual whose heart, preaching, and character have impacted our entire church body.

Evangelist Staff

When you see George walking down the street, he doesn't look like your normal preacher. That is because he is not. George is a Pro-Wrestling star that has been in the ring with such stars as Rick Flair, The Italian Stallion, and Ted DiBiase. However, one of his greatest thrills didn't happen in the ring, but when he had the chance to hand Hulk Hogan a gospel tract about the good news of Jesus Christ.

George South is an unashamed lover of Christ, and he loves to talk about Jesus. Most weekends of the year, he is setting up his ring and traveling with the students of his training school called the Exodus Wrestling Association. George ministers in churches, schools, and community outreach events. To date, he has been able to distribute over 100,00 gospel tracts of which he personally wrote and had printed. They share the story of his salvation, and how the good news of Jesus can change anybody.

Friendship SBC is privileged that George calls us his church home, and we love having him in the pulpit to encourage us and motivate us toward evangelism. You can find out more information about him at www.GeorgeSouth.com, and also pick up a copy of his book, "Dad You Don't Work, You Wrestle."
