In this episode, Kyle interviews Pastor Hanna, who shares his incredible journey of faith, resilience, and mission work in one of the world’s most challenging places, the Gaza Strip.
He talks about his calling to serve in Gaza, the struggles of navigating war, and the obstacles Christians face in a region dominated by conflict.
The conversation delves into life under Hamas rule, the misconceptions about Gaza in the West, and the risks involved in sharing the Gospel in a closed-off society. Pastor Hanna also reflects on the toll of war, the loss of his home, and his ongoing work to help displaced Palestinians. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder of faith in action, the need for hope, and how small acts of love can create lasting change.
