taking Gospel to the world's Throwaways
SERVANT KING MINISTRIES
We take the Good News of Jesus Christ behind prison walls. We get to know the prisoners and their families, show them in the Word of God how the power of God by grace through faith in His Son Jesus Christ can save them from eternal destruction and separation from God, and how obedience to God’s teachings under the guidance of His Holy Spirit can transform their broken lives. When we are able, we minister to their physical needs as well, demonstrating the compassion for others that comes from a life of servitude to Jesus Christ. We set up “Courage to Change” inside prisons for consistent year-round discipleship under God’s Word. We write and perform original music, write and produce original films and are currently working on a new television series entitled: “Counterfeit” that will be used inside prisons to help Christians refocus on the correct formula for a successful Christian life. The series is based on John 15:13, Mark 12: 28-34, and the entire chapter of 1st Corinthians 13.
Ministry
LONG STATE PRISON
We visit Long State Prison every Friday from 3 pm till 6 pm. During this time, we teach “Courage To Change” a 3 stage program developed by Servant King that deals directly with how to Love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and how to love our neighbors at least as much as we love ourselves. It addresses our common misunderstandings of just what it really means to “Follow Christ”. Who He is, What He did and continues to do, and how to reproduce this in our daily lives.
Broken
The World’s Throwaways
In today’s world, society for the most part, has lost interest in the reformation of the incarcerated. Many of our prisons have turned into little more than trash cans where broken people are discarded and forgotten about. We believe this is a dangerously short-sighted viewpoint. Most people in prison will one day be released back into society and for better or worse, will become our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and families.
Now is the time to invest in the lives of these men and women. Right now, they have the time to learn how to overcome their situations and to become better at maintaining a proper place in society. A place that is productive and will give us and them the chance to face this journey of life together the way God intended.

TESTIMONIAL
"Devoted countless Sleepless nights"
"Lisa and I have been longtime supporters of ServantKing and the vision of Sam and Wanda. Often we, as well as others, have the task of figuring out how to best utilize our resources. There are many good things out there but most of us have limited resources to spread around. We look to effectiveness in our decision and I can attest to anyone that what Sam and Wanda and the rest of the crew are doing is effective, has merit, and is making a difference in the lives of those they touch. Sam and Wanda have devoted countless sleepless nights pouring all their energy, time, and money into what they believe. Plain and simple, they are the real deal. It is a blessing to be a part of what they do and it is an even greater blessing to those they help. Thanks for carrying out the vision God has put on your hearts."
"obedient servant and Follower"
"This ministry is inspired and led by God the Holy Spirit to bring the Gospel of salvation into prisons and the world. I have seen his marvelous work first hand at Johnson State Prison in Georgia. I have known Sam Merkle for a long time and know he is an obedient servant and Follower of Jesus Christ. Having myself been saved in the Colorado State prison after a lifetime of drug abuse and sin. (4 times in prison and convicted as a habitual criminal). And having directed a Christian halfway house after my conversion and release. I know the importance of what Servant King ministry is doing. I have and will support Sam and Wanda in their ministry. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:34-40 NIV)"
"a heart for the imprisoned"
"Debbie and I support ServantKing ministries because we can see that Sam and Wanda Merkle have a heart for the imprisoned. That they see the need for the Word of God to be spread to those incarcerated. To those that will eventually get out and also to those who will not. It is not the crime that was committed that concerns them. But the salvation of the spirit. And as we know, the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. The salvation of one soul sets off a celebration in heaven. And is like a stone thrown into a pond, the ripple effects are unimaginable. So when you support this ministry, God only knows how many, spouses, children, family members, and guards just to name a few that could be effected by just one person giving his life to Jesus. Not only do the angels celebrate, we do too."
