Glen and Rita Chapman train Congolese students and their spouses, preparing them for ministry in their hometown in the rural environment. Glen teaches pastoral students at the Kikongo Pastor's Institute where he is professor of Old Testament, African religions, and Baptist distinctives.


Glen also projects evangelistic movies as well as educational videos on medical and health issues such as malaria, HIV, dysentery, etc. in the rural areas where he travels by boat. He has now envisioned a new means of transportation, using a PPC (powered parachute) flight which would take only 3 hours to reach the villages as opposed to 3 days. A PPC can carry 2 people at a time, plus luggage/cargo, so it is a good means of getting medical supplies to the interior clinics in a timely manner, which is particularly vital during vaccination campaigns as it is crucial to get the vaccines out faster without damage caused by the high temperature.

Rita directs and teaches at the Women’s School. She continues to develop and improve course materials for the pastors’ wives. She teaches illiterate women to read, and also serves as an active member and counselor of the parish women's fellowship.
