The Merrill Evangelistic Team offers rich concerts with inspiring hymns and heartfelt worship. Featuring Randy Merrill’s compositions, each concert centers on God’s Word, directing hearts toward Him.
In the spring of 1992, after preaching a six-month sermon series on Abraham—a man of faith who obeyed and transported his family wherever God led—Randy started the Second Generation Musical Merrill Ministry Team (now called the Merrill Evangelistic Team).
