Paul was born in Columbia. He spent his first 18 years with his German parents in Columbia. He was raised a Catholic. After Paul had completed his Columbian High School education he went to Germany where he began his apprenticeship as a locksmith.
During his job training he met an Argentinean who told him about Jesus. At that time Paul consciously accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. During his alternative service (in lieu of military service) in Baden-Baden Paul and Ulrike met and were married in 1978. Both attended the Bible College “Glaubenszentrum” (Christ for the Nations).
