🎙️ Front Seat Talanoa – Episode 5Ministry in Hidden Places
What does it mean to serve God faithfully in places that often go unseen?
In Episode 5 of Front Seat Talanoa – Front Seat Stories, we sit down with Pastor Tyler Vafakos, a missionary from the United States currently serving in the Philippines with his wife Chloe and their growing family. As a recent graduate of Asia Pacific Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies, Tyler shares his journey of faith, calling, and obedience.
From a young age, Tyler carried a burden for missions in Asia—a calling that has now led him and his family to plant a ministry work in Baguio City. Alongside this, he is actively involved in raising support to help provide Bibles in local Filipino languages, making God’s Word more accessible to communities across the country.
This episode reflects on the beauty and challenges of serving in hidden places, where faithfulness often goes unnoticed—but never unseen by God.
If you are serving quietly, waiting patiently, or following God in unseen ways, this conversation will encourage you.
