Daniel and Johanna Wild have a vision to call people worldwide to follow Jesus through their ministry. By working together with local churches and congregations, they organize large-scale evangelistic events around the world and train people in evangelism and discipleship. As international evangelists, they preach the gospel worldwide and help people hear the true and saving message of Jesus and become part of God’s church. They understand their calling both locally (Upper Palatinate, Northern Bavaria, and Germany) and globally, through Europe-wide and worldwide initiatives.
Now is the time of salvation!
We are Daniel and Johanna Wild, founders of Holy Impact Ministries. We have personally experienced Jesus in our lives and cannot remain silent about the life-changing love of God. Faith in Jesus is the most precious thing in the world to us, which is why we dedicate our lives to helping others get to know Jesus too.
In his youth, Daniel went astray, started using drugs, and lived a party lifestyle that led him to become suicidal and depressed. During this time, he had a powerful personal encounter with God. This encounter radically changed his life. He was freed from depression and drugs and began a living relationship with Jesus.
In 2010, he and some friends started organizing evangelistic services in bars and pubs in Würzburg under the name “Kirche im Club” (Church in the Club). Over a period of 5 years, the gospel was preached to over 10,000 young people, accompanied by powerful encounters with God, healings, and conversions. Johanna and Daniel were both involved in the leadership of the Christian student group Campus Connect (formerly Campus for Christ) in Würzburg for several years, where they learned to know and love working with young adults.
In 2014, Daniel received a vision from God for a large-scale evangelistic event and subsequently attended the School of Evangelism with Reinhard Bonnke at Christ for All Nations. In 2015, Daniel initiated and organized the large-scale evangelistic event “Love Würzburg” in collaboration with local churches and congregations, attracting over 4,500 guests to the basketball arena in Würzburg. Through this event, over 800 people came to faith in Jesus. During this time, Jesus sharpened Johanna and Daniel’s calling for evangelism and full-time ministry. Daniel also graduated from the School of Awakening at Awakening Europe.
From 2011-2015, Daniel was a staff member at God Encounter Ministries in Nuremberg.
Johanna graduated from the School of Worship Bible School at the Faith Center in Bad Gandersheim, which helped her grow both spiritually and practically in her calling as a worship leader and further hone her gifts. Johanna’s vision is to lead people in Germany and Europe, but also beyond, into worshiping God and building altars of praise.
In October 2019, Daniel and Johanna moved with their son to Bielefeld to work full-time at the Jugendmissionsgemeinschaft e.V. (Youth Mission Community) and to learn how to build a missionary ministry as a family. Among other things, both of them graduated from the Lifetime Bible School there.
At CfaN’s Firecamp 2022, they learned to preach the gospel clearly on the streets and love leading people to an encounter with Jesus. They experience how people have radical encounters with the Holy Spirit and are healed. They enjoy worshipping and preaching in churches about life with the Holy Spirit.
In August 2023, they moved to Orlando, Florida, as a family of four to participate in the Evangelism Bootcamp. This is a training program run by Christ for All Nations to train evangelists in what has made CfaN successful for over 40 years: organizing large-scale evangelism events and effectively preaching the gospel to large crowds. At the end of this training in Orlando, USA, Daniel completed a three-week practical mission trip to Ghana in West Africa. There, Daniel put what he had learned into practice and preached to thousands of people in mini-crusades with gospel trucks and to young people in youth crusades (youth evangelism in schools). On November 19, 2023, Daniel was ordained as a CfaN evangelist and was awarded a certificate for successfully completing the CfaN Bootcamp for Evangelists.
