Educator. Bong Rin Ro was reared in Seoul, Korea during the Korean War. Following his father's death, Bong's mother and five siblings lived in extreme poverty. God answered his mother's prayers when Bong dedicated his life to the Lord's service. When Bong came to CBC in 1956, he only knew a few English words. But with the encouragement of his classmates, he graduated four years later. Bong and his wife, Alma, joined Overseas Missionary Fellowship in 1970 and began their ministry training Asians at the Asia Theological Association. Bong served as Executive Director for World Evangelical Fellowship Theological Commission as well as professor at Bible Institute of Hawaii. He traveled extensively, speaking and teaching in an effort to bring an awareness of missions into the churches and encouraging young people to prepare for missions.
