A native of Texas, Jerry graduated from Dallas Baptist University with a degree in theology and biblical studies. He has been involved in cross-cultural ministry for most of his life, going back to his earliest and most formative years serving with Native Peoples in South Dakota. Jerry has also formally served in cross-cultural missions since 2001, including ministry in three low-income urban areas of Dallas. He has traveled to more nations than he can remember to serve alongside missionaries and indigenous believers.

Most recently, Jerry served as the senior director of missions and church planting at Park Cities Presbyterian in Dallas, where he helped develop the process for preparing new missionaries called “Thrive.” Much more important than credentials, Jerry hopes his years of experience (sometimes learning things the hard way) will benefit him in this new position with MTW. Jerry has been married to Kerry for 20 years. They have two daughters.

Matthew was born in St. Petersburg Florida, but got to Texas as quickly as he could. As a kid he would go on missions trips to Mexico every summer with his dad and looked forward to these trips all throughout the year. Matthew graduated from Concordia University in Chicago with a double major in theology and psychology, all the while playing on the soccer team. He spent six years teaching theology and apologetics at a private Christian High School in Austin, Texas.

Matthew is currently the missions and ESL director at All Saints Presbyterian Church when he isn't running around trying to catch his two little boys. Matthew has been married to his beautiful wife Jaime for four years and still can't believe she said yes. All of these things have helped to shape his love for missions and finding ways for people to serve using the gifts that God has given them. He is excited to be working for MTW and helping others find their passion for missions.
