| Introduction | Ingrid Reneau serves as an education officer in Sudan in partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Sudan, the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, and the Association of Christian Resource Organizations Serving Sudan. She will help to expand the church-sponsored school system, improve its administrative capabilities, and strengthen its teaching methodologies. Ingrid has taught at several colleges, including the City College of San Francisco and the University of South Carolina, has written articles for academic journals, and has a book in progress. Sometime in 2003 Ingrid began, in her words, “a radical, transforming journey of actually living the Scriptures that I often repeated to myself: ‘Trust in the lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths’" (Prov 3: 5-6). Ingrid was led her to work with children and youth at minimum wage jobs, and through that experience found herself being called to mission work. She considered going to seminary, but felt that her gifts and experience as an educator could be of service to God’s people. |
