How I Met Merv and What I Know about Him
by Pastor Ralph Flynn

Ralph and Susan Flynn at Peniel Bible Camp

My story begins at Camp Peniel. This is where I first met Merv Brereton, who at that time was a student at Bible Institute of Ohio. It did not take long to see that Merv was not a fisherman of fish. You don't want to be in a canoe with him while he attempts to fish. Unknown to me and to him was that our meeting at Camp Peniel would begin years of fellowship together It was also at Camp Peniel that both Susan and I were led to go to the Bible Institute of Ohio too. We would become classmates with Merv. Now for his story as I know it:

Rev. Merv Brereton was "Missionary of the Week" at Calvary Bible Church Vocational Bible Camp.

Merv's heart is always to help children. As you may have noticed most of his ministries focus on changing the lives of young people to something better; that betterment is only found in our Lord Jesus Christ. This is why one person [Merv Brereton] can do so much for others. He is an example for all of us to follow to build the next generation of Christians.
