For the past couple of years we've been sending out teams of people to serve in the city of Durban, South Africa! In July 09 350 of you joined us at our SOULINTHECITY Durban event and got involved in some amazing servant hearted work in townships and communities accross the city... check out the video to see what happened!
It is with deep regret that we have to announce that SOULINTHECITY Durban 2010 will not be happening.
Booking numbers for the trip have been significantly lower than we’d hoped for (we only have 56% of the total bookings we’d need to make it financially viable) on top of which, the inflated costs of airflight and the current economic circumstances have meant that we now find ourselves facing a significant loss. After exhausting all other avenues we’ve reached the painful conclusion that the missions trip has to be cancelled.
We know that this is upsetting news and we are deeply disappointed but we believe we would be doing you a disservice by continuing to plan for the trip with such huge uncertainties.
If you would still be interested in taking part in a trip to South Africa or similar projects in other countries then please let us know so that we can do our best to help you.
Once again, we’re really sorry for the cancellation but hope you understand our reasons behind the decision.
If you would like to speak to a member of our team about the decision then please call our office on the number below.

Being the awesome people they are, Tearfund & Soul Action are running a series of alternative programs in Durban. There are now two options to serve this summer with Transform/Soul Action in some of the same projects that would have been involved in SOULINTHECITY Durban. These aren't Soul Survivor run events, but will be ace, so here are the options.
1) Soul Action Durban 2010 is happening from 17th - 31st July, subject to sufficient demand. Download this fact sheet for more information or follow the link at the bottom of this article (applications close on 28th February)!
2) 4 week Summer team: Applications are open for a 4 week team to a project called Ethembeni, Howick (an hour north of Durban). The trip is scheduled to be from 1st - 29th August 2010. Applications are open until 15th March 2010
