Donna Dong

Donna has served in campus ministry for a total of 30 years with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, in Canada and the U.S.A. Since January of 2002 she has served as the National Director for Multiethnic/Multicultural Ministry for Inter-Varsity Canada. Donna became a follower of Jesus in her first-year at university and her love for the university, Bible study, and student work date from those early student years with Inter-Varsity. She knows from personal experience the strategic importance of laying good foundations in relating to God that result in following Jesus for a life-time.

Donna attended the University of California at Berkeley in the late, turbulent 60's during the student protest years, and earned a B. A. (double major) in English Literature and Spanish Language & Literature. Then, also at Cal, Berkeley, she earned a M.A. in Comparative Education. Donna is also a graduate of the Discipleship Training Centre in Singapore, where she did two years of biblical and theological training.

In the late 1970's, after her return from studying at the Discipleship Training Centre in Singapore, Donna returned to her San Francisco roots and was involved with a group of Chinese Christian student leaders in a monthly World Christian prayer meeting. Their sponsorship of a missions conference with Dave Bryant became a part of the spiritual beginnings that led to World Christian Conference.
