Merlin and Mary receive no salary. We have resisted all tendencies to become a large organization with many employees and magnificent buildings. Since thirteen million of Merlin s books have been distributed, we could have grown in size rather than in ministry. We have chosen to reach needy people to tell them about our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Our small overhead costs permit us to send thousands of free books every month to the darkest corners of the world.

Europe Korea Viet Nam Dominican Republic Letters came from prisoners, military personnel, hospital patients and from thousands of people who accepted Christ after reading Prison to Praise . Then Merlin wrote Power in Praise and more requests came for prayer and guidance. Scores of institutions wrote asking for free books. The work of the Foundation was conducted in the garage of Merlin and Mary s home in Escondido, California until a new church was completed in 1972. In 1976, another church was established in Escondido and again the Foundation of Praise worked within the church.
