MEET THE TEAM
Jerry Gibson
Director

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.
Teresa Weber
Youth Mobilizer

Teresa Weber is the Youth Mobilizer for the Central Hub. She completed an internship with Mission to the World in Thailand in 2019 and is zealous for missions. Teresa believes that people of all ages should engage in missions and is excited to mobilize youth and watch the Lord work in their lives as well as in the lives of those they serve.
Becky Bronson
Candidate Specialist

Becky's love for other cultures began early, growing up in South Texas surrounded by Mexican culture and heritage. Her first missions trip in high school took her to interior Mexico, and she began to grow a love for Spanish and language learning that later took her to study in Spain in college. As a recent college graduate, she moved to East Asia to travel and teach English, and was floored by the millions who had never heard of Jesus, God, or grace! As newlyweds, Becky and her husband Andrew served in Thailand with MTW from 2006–2008 and 2012–2017 and helped plant two churches in Bangkok, Grace City Bangkok and New City Fellowship. She loves to encourage the pursuit of missions in both churches and with its people to consider how their gifts might be used to bring the nations to Himself.

DIVERSITY IN MISSIONS
At MTW, we believe that sending more diverse missionaries better reflects the image of God and helps build more effective ministry as people of color bring their voices and gospel stories to those waiting to hear. If you would like more info about how the MTW Diversifi initiative and RADD (Reformed And Diverse Delegates) can help you in your mission, please contact one of our diversity mobilizers.
