Jerry and Barbara Gibbs spent 40 years as church-planting missionaries in France and returned to the States in 2014. They have continued to be involved in promoting missions involvement through church mission services, ETEAM, GoGlobal workshops, Perspectives courses, as well as connecting with Welch College students through teaching and organizing events such as the annual Gibbs Global Grille.

Jerry and Barb have three sons (Marc, Joël, and Ryan) and 11 grandchildren. They both enjoy music and gardening, but love nothing better than time spent with family, especially grandkids.
