Nate Wilda

Nathan (Nate) Wilda is a young man of God who is committed to see Christ lifted high, and to see Him move powerfully once again through His body the church. A Danbury native, Nate grew up within the Christian community of Connecticut, and he has a great desire to see his home state reached with the gospel.

Starting at the age of 19, Nate felt a call to serve God in ministry work, and since that time he has worked extensively with the youth and young adult population. In addition to his
heart for reaching the adolescents, Nate has a passion to see men of God (young and old) stand as true examples of Christ in love and strength.

Nate earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Western Connecticut State in 2002, at which time he also received national and state recognition for his academic achievements. He continued his education at Rhema Bible College, graduating with a diploma in ministry studies in 2004.

Nate currently works in Danbury with Young Life, an international youth ministry, where he serves as a director for their local high school and college outreaches in the city. Nate is also a licensed minister with 'Torch Ministries', and serves on the staff team at Connections Church in Newtown, CT.

In his spare time, Nate loves playing and watching sports and is a huge Oklahoma State Cowboys and New York Mets fan. He is also a singer, song-writer, and musician, reagularly leading worship at his local church and events throughout the Northeast.

Nate is the son of the late David Wilda who was a great pillar in the Danbury community as a local sports hero and more so as a man of faith. Much of Nate's life in ministry has been influenced by his fathers life and battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and the lessons he learned from his father and mother as they faced and overcame countless challenges in life through their faith in Jesus Christ and applying the Bible daily in their lives. It is these experiences, as well as his own life's journey in learning to follow Christ personally in the midst, that have shaped and led Nate to share the testimony of God's faithfulness throughout his life, that it may help others to know Christ personally and to not give up in life's toughest of times. It is his sincere hope to help others know the great love of Christ and to live an overcoming life until we see Jesus one day face-to-face!
