CBWC Women in Focus - Missions-China

PingPing Ren graduated from secondary school in 2002 and moved on to study English at Changchung Technical University. Upon her graduation with a diploma in English in 2004, PingPing was hired as an English grammar teacher at Tumen River Vocational School (TRVS) where she worked for five years.

TRVS was founded to give young people a hope and a future with the opportunity for continued education after the government funded school program (up to the equivalent of grade 9) as many don't have the financial means to continue. Peter Hahn, founder and principal, who selects his teachers carefully, has a deep regard for PingPing, writing that she "set an example in all her responsibilities as an English grammar teacher, student counselor and dormitory supervisor. Her positive attitude and inclusiveness are infectious; her students feel they are valued."

		PingPing's arrival to Canada
	CBM is seeking to build a stronger partnership with the TRVS. With support from Crandall University (formerly known as Atlantic Baptist University), PingPing has received a full tuition scholarship for pursuing her education in Canada. Further, we, along with Canadian Baptist Women, are contributing an annual scholarship of $6,000 to cover her additional living expenses while in our country. In September, 2009, PingPing started her Bachelor of Arts in English. She is a hard working, diligent student who is enjoying her studies and is a blessing to those she is attending school with. This young woman has a deep love for God and a deep prayer life. Her future goal is to return to teach at TRVS. We are so pleased we can have a part in building into her life!
