Meet Hongyi Yang
When the Lord called Hongyi Yang, associate professor of World Christianity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, to ministry she thought her previous education was a “waste.” Yang, who has taught at Southwestern since 2016, came to the United States in 2000 as an international student to begin studying in the field of media studies at the University of North Texas’s department of radio, television, and film.
