Josie had served among the Bugkalot tribe for five years when she met Jerry in their hometown. As a couple, they first worked among the Ayta tribe in San Marcelino, Zambales. They also spent a few years serving as staff at New Tribes School of Missions and returned to the Ayta tribe when the destruction brought by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption was sorted. With his wife, Jerry is now pastoring Iram Christian Fellowship, training tribal leaders and helping NTSM in its development of facilities. Their four children are Mark, Joanne, James and Andrew.
