Merrill Oster grew up on a farm and eventually was a successful business man in farm futures in 16 countries, among other business endeavors. See how he and his wife prayed their way into a calling that would lead to decades of purpoose.
In his golden years now, Merrill has a new venture: equipping retired business leaders to pray and serve their communities for Christ.
