Merlin worked as a Volunteer Coordinator for VCC for almost two years before being hired as part-time Outreach Pastor. He is a graduate of Vineyard Leadership Institute, a 2-year intensive course in church leadership. His 2003 mission trip experience in Costa Rica made a radical impact on his life and led him to inspire others to make a difference in their communities. As Outreach Pastor Merlin leads Bagging Hunger, quarterly outreach events and works to start home groups through local outreaches in our community. He was born in the Philippines, married to Annie and he has 2 teenagers. Merlin's hope is that one day our nation will link arms in building communities of Faith, Hope and Love.
