The Hongos are music teachers at heart, both having degrees and extensive experience in this area. They have worked with individual church musicians as well as conducted seminars for choirs and praise teams in their desire to prepare others for the work of the Lord.

In 1988 and 1989, Christian Vision sponsored Music Camp, a three-day conference for church musicians that attracted several hundred delegates.

Randy and Gay have also worked in the secular field by helping young women in their talent preparations in different beauty pageants: among their students have been Carolyn Sapp, Miss America 1991; Brook Lee, Miss Universe 1997; Libby Lum, Narcissus Queen, 2000; and former Miss Hawaiis Erika Kauffman, Pamela Kimura and Cheryl Toma.
