Young Ho Pak Resilient Faith is a growing collection of field recordings, interviews, and messages from Gospel workers serving in Armenia and among the unreached in MENACA (the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia)—with a special heart for Muslim-majority nations and other hardest-to-reach places. This "podcast" is primarily created as a simple way to share faith-inspiring stories, testimonies, and real-life updates from the field in one place. Episodes may include interviews (often with believers from unreached nations) and what it can look like to follow Jesus in costly environments, along with occasional recorded messages we’ve shared in churches and other ministries. Resilient Faith is the banner over our calling: by God’s grace, to make Jesus known among the unreached—and to trust Him for steadfast endurance, lasting fruit in the hardest-to-reach places, and growth only He can produce. 38f53997-10d0-4226-863a-dbaf6e49cfc0 Resilient Faith is a growing collection of field recordings, interviews, and messages from Gospel workers serving in Armenia and among the unreached in MENACA (the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia)—with a special heart for Muslim-majority nations and other hardest-to-reach places.

Eddie explains how teams use creative tools—like a custom "Letter from the King"—to connect Persian history to Christ, and shares a practical approach for asking history-based questions rather than starting spiritual debates. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of distributed Gospels, late-night street conversations, and how pointing to the historical reality of Jesus opens doors to true faith.

Along the way, you’ll hear why genuine Christian love, prayer, and healthy community so often become the “open door” God uses in Muslim-majority contexts.
