Today, I’m introducing you to a very special guest: Misty Wilder. Misty is a missionary who, alongside her husband Daniel, has been serving faithfully in Guatemala for the past 20 years. Together, they’ve raised seven children on the mission field, planted churches, and poured their lives into the people of Chimaltenango and beyond.
Misty is a deep thinker, someone who clearly loves God, loves her family, and carries a quiet strength and joy that really shines through. She’s thoughtful, joyful, and in our conversation, you’ll hear how God has worked in her heart, in her ministry, and in the lives of those around her.
Over the years, the Wilders have helped start nine churches, including their main work in Chimaltenango. That church has seen big Sundays with over 500 people in attendance, though most weeks, it’s around 150 to 200.
One amazing story Misty shared with me after we finished recording was about a young man they reached while he was in a correctional facility. His father had struggled with alcoholism, but for the sake of his son, he started coming to church. His life was completely changed. That young man later married a girl who had come down to help the Wilders, and today, he’s pastoring a church in Oklahoma. Isn’t that incredible?
And just for fun—Misty’s favorite food in Guatemala is estofado. It’s a saucy, tomato-based dish eaten with rice. It can be made with chicken, beef, or pork, along with plenty of vegetables. It sounds delicious!
This episode is honest, full of wisdom, and a real encouragement for anyone in ministry. Or for anyone just trying to follow God faithfully, wherever He leads.
So, are you ready to be encouraged and equipped to abide in Christ? Let’s get into the heart of today’s episode.
