They were involved in national church planting teams in teaching, writing and research while teaching at several seminaries and universities.

During this period, they earned degrees at both Fuller School of World Missions and Biola School of Intercultural Studies & Rosemead School of Psychology. They have both taught at a number of Indonesian seminaries and universities and also Roger has taught as an adjunct at several U.S. universities.
