Cynthia Chang grew up with Christian relatives, her grandparents having become Christians in mainland China. After her parents’ divorce when she was eight, Cynthia developed a sense of shame and inferiority. She excelled in school to cover up that embarrassment. She had become a Christian when thirteen, but the influence of Campus Crusade for Christ during her college years encouraged her faith with the word of God. His truth, and her learning to live out her life as a Christian, built back the self-confidence and trust in God eroded by earlier family problems. She went on to prepare herself for full-time Christian ministry with Th. M.s from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in Illinois and China Evangelical Seminary in Taiwan and a M.Div. from Singapore Bible College (SBC). She is currently studying for her Ph.D. at TEDS, and will return to SBC as a professor in Old Testment studies.
“I believe that God will use my future teaching ministry as a channel of missionary work all over the world, especially in Asia and Chinese-speaking contexts (SBC’s 400 students come from 22 different countries on 4 continents),” writes Cynthia.
