Pastor José Benjamín Nina was born on February 16, 1946, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the eldest of eight siblings. From a very early age, he understood his calling and responded to God's call to ministry.
He studied theology at Antillean College in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, and later earned a master's degree from Andrews University, beginning a career that spanned more than 50 years. He faithfully served as Executive Secretary and, later, President of the Dominican Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
He married Ofelia Gross, and together they had two sons, José and George.
Today, his legacy and unwavering conviction in the blessed hope of Christ's return leave an indelible mark on his family, his colleagues, and the Christian community.
He is survived with love and gratitude by his wife, children, four of his siblings, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and other relatives.
