In 1984 Rick and Carol joined SIM and moved to Jos, Nigeria, where they both taught at Jos Evangelical Churches of West Africa Theological Seminary (JETS) for seven years. His involvement with students at JETS included evangelistic outreaches and establishing an outreach basketball ministry. After teaching in Chicago for 6 years they returned to Nigeria in 1997; this time in an administrative role with SIM.

Rick and Carol's connection with SWBIBLE began while Rick was serving as NW Regional Director for SIM in Portland mobilizing churches.

Rick served as the International Director for the Romans Project from 2011 to 2018. As a close friend of John Corey, he jumped at the opportunity to combine two of his passions, equipping pastors and ministering in Africa. He remains as Romans Project International Director Emeritus.

Rick and Carol returned to Liberia in 2019 to help establish the Evangelical Seminary of West Africa where Rick was the first president. They retired from SIM Liberia end of 2024 when a new president was found and installed.
