Born in Jos, Nigeria to missionary parents, Meg grew up in West Africa where she had all her schooling through high school. Upon graduation, she attended LeTourneau University in Longview, TX graduating with a BA in 1978. Her most important accomplishment during these years was marrying her high school sweetheart, Dick, also a missionary kid.

In 1983 Dick and Meg moved to Nigeria as missionaries with SIM where our 2 kids were raised until 1996. They were very involved in the Bible Study Fellowship classes which they helped to start. Although Dick & Meg taught in a missionary kids' school, their primary duty was to care for the kids as their substitute parents while they attended school and their parents ministered in various remote locations. They also served in some administrative roles during 13 years of ministry there. 

In 1996 SIM asked that they move to Dallas, TX where Dick would become the South Central Regional Director for SIM covering 5 states. They consider it a privilege to serve in this strategic role of mobilizing new missionaries, partnering with churches, encouraging missionaries while they are stateside, and stimulating prayer throughout this region. Meg also has the privilege of serving the body of Christ at Scofield as administrative assistant to Pastor Matthew St. John.

Jonas' role as Pastor in Residence is to provide leadership and infuse energy into our Men's ministry and Communities of Bible Study . For five years, Jonas and his wife Greta have contributed to the ministry of Scofield through the Two by Two,
New Horizons, Men's, Women's, and various other ministries.

Jonas and Greta have two children, Zoe and Grover, and live in Richardson. 

Gayla was born in Gilmer, TX and grew up in Tyler, TX. She graduated from Tyler Jr. College in 1972 and then went to the University of Texas at Austin where she met her husband, Jim. They were married in July of 1974, and moved to Dallas so that Jim could work for the family business. Jim and Gayla have just celebrated 33 years of marriage. They have been blessed with three children and three grandchildren.

Jim and Gayla became members of Scofield Memorial Church in 1981, where Gayla began volunteering in the office in 1991. In 1993, she joined the Scofield staff full time as the financial assistant. In 1998, Gayla began working in the Children's Ministry as well as in the office. She did this until 2003, when she became the office manager. She now spends most of her time working in the Church office but still volunteers in the Children's Ministry which holds a special place in her heart.

"My vision for life is to make the person of God big in the hearts and lives of His people and to make His awesome majesty known through music. He is worthy of all of our worship and praise. Not simply because of what He has done for us... but because of Who He Is."

Jo An was born in China and lived in Hong Kong as a child until coming to America with her family. Her Grandpa had a laundry in El Dorado, Arkansas where she spent her teen years. God directed her to a Sunday School and Church where a retired teacher tutored her in English. Life was simple & sweet in a small town. While she was visiting an Aunt in Dallas, Jo An met Gene Yee. Three years later they were married and have raised four kids together. God lead them to serve in First Chinese Baptist Church where the whole family grew in their faith. After their kids left home, Gene & Jo An looked for a church closer to home where they could serve & fellowship. That’s how they found Scofield. Several years ago God took Gene to serve him in heaven. Jo An has prayed & asked God how she can serve Him with her gifts. She loves hospitality, food, and serving people. You see her every Wednesday evening helping out at the Wednesday FEAST.

We are grateful Jo An has agreed to use her gift of service here at Scofield on a part-time basis as our new hospitality coordinator. Jo An will coordinate all church events where hospitality is required. Hopefully she will have many willing helpers when she calls! Jo An would welcome any and all volunteers.
