Paul joined an Exodus team to South Africa in July 2002. It so affected him that he returned for six months in 2003, as part of a "gap" year. During those six months he served and studied at Midlands Christian Centre, in their DTS (Discipleship Training School).
"This whole experience really stretched me. One day I could have been in lectures, and the next delivering food in the surrounding area. There was a lot of poverty among the Zulu community, and the church distributed food to families where they knew there was a real need. We also got into lots of the schools for outreach - usually along with local or overseas teams. We would have used drama, puppets, songs and sport, to share the gospel. We also did a lot of the more menial jobs around the church complex, such as preparing food, cleaning etc. It was a very worthwhile experience - I learned a lot in the lectures, but at the same time had to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in to practical things. I know it has helped mature me as a Christian and a person. I would very much recommend doing something for God in a "year out" from studies." - Paul
