Micah Wilder
Founder - Adam's Road
Micah Wilder is a founder of Adam’s Road, a music and testimony ministry which shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ across North America. Micah recounts his spiritual journey in his first book, Passport to Heaven: The True Story of a Zealous Mormon Missionary Who Discovers the Jesus He Never Knew (Harvest House, June 2021).
Micah was raised in a devout Mormon family, with a desire for an intimate relationship with God. After Micah graduated from high school, he attended BYU for a semester and prepared for what he believed would be the most important two years of his life: his full-time LDS mission.
Four months into his mission, Micah confronted a Baptist minister with the intent of converting him to Mormonism. In response, the pastor lovingly shared the Biblical Gospel. He challenged Micah to read the Bible as a child, removing preconceived notions and allowing God’s Word to speak truth through the Holy Spirit. God gradually opened Micah's eyes to the Gospel and he came to know the grace and love of Jesus Christ in a personal and intimate way. He underwent a life changing transformation and was born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a Mormon missionary.
Micah immediately began ministering the Gospel to his close friends and family, challenging them—as he had been challenged—to read the Bible like a child. His high school girlfriend, Alicia, was born again. She and Micah eloped just days after Micah’s mission ended. Over time, many of Micah’s loved ones came to knowledge of the truth including his older brother Matt, younger sister Katie, best missionary friend Joseph, and eventually his mother and father.
In 2006, Micah co-founded Adam’s Road, a ministry dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song and testimony. Today Adam’s Road has ministered in more than 1,000 churches across North America, distributing their music and resources at no charge.
Micah is also an owner/operator of the Historic Edgewater Hotel in Winter Garden, Florida. The hotel operates as a “tent-making” ministry for Adam’s Road, providing the personal living expenses for the majority of the ministry members.
Micah praises God for the unmerited favor that has been poured upon him in Jesus Christ. He has dedicated his life to lovingly sharing the Good News with the world.

Passport to Heaven: The True Story of a Zealous Mormon Missionary Who Discovers the Jesus He Never Knew
When missionary Micah Wilder set his sights on bringing a Baptist congregation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he had no idea that he was the one about to be changed. Yet when he finally came to know the God of the Bible, Micah had no choice but to surrender himself—no matter the consequences.
For a passionate young Mormon who had grown up in the Church, finding authentic faith meant giving up all he knew: his community, his ambitions, and his place in the world. Yet as Micah struggled to reconcile the teachings of his Church with the truths revealed in the Bible, he awakened to his need for God’s grace. This led him to be summoned to the door of the mission president, terrified but confident in the testimony he knew could cost him everything.
Passport to Heaven is a gripping account of Micah’s surprising journey from living as a devoted member of a religion based on human works to embracing the divine mercy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

We Will Not Be Silenced: Responding Courageously to Our Culture's Assault on Christianity
In We Will Not Be Silenced, Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer prepares you to live out your convictions against a growing tide of hostility. Gain a better understanding of nonbelievers’ legitimate hurts and concerns regarding issues like racism, sexism, and poverty—and identify the toxic responses secular culture disguises as solutions. In the process, you’ll see how you can show compassion and gentleness to those outside of the faith without affirming their beliefs.
We Will Not Be Silenced will ready you to move beyond fear and boldly accept the challenge of representing Christ to a watching world that needs Him now more than ever before.
