Andy & Nancy Merrick
Founder & Executive Director
For years, Andy & Nancy Merrick watched as missionaries wasted their time with worn-out equipment and needs for better buildings in order to meet the spiritual needs of people. As missionaries themselves, they also experienced it first hand. The Lord laid upon their hearts, a burden to help meet these needs and to train people to be aware of these needs. That is why they started an organization called Christian Missionary Technical Services (CMTS).
CMTS Ministries was started in 1981 in New Jersey. Following God's prompting, they purchased the 52-acre former farmhouse in Bernville, PA, where CMTS is located.
Andy as the Executive Director handles almost anything and everything at the ministry.
Nancy is the office manager, the glue that holds everything together. She runs CMTS on paper. Together they are an amazing team helping with the great commission.
After 40 years of service, Andy and Nancy's focus shifted from Bernville to Belize. They are now working in CMTS Belize to build an international training center based there.
