Paul was originally appointed to mission service with his wife, Carol, in July 2002. They served for three years as facilitators for evangelism among unreached people groups in Southeast Asia.
Paul has been involved in ministry in Southeast Asia since 1984, when he and Carol moved to Bangkok, Thailand, with their 18-month-old daughter to begin Thai language study with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship.
