“I want to introduce to the House of Representatives the Pastor Kenneth Wilde. Pastor Wilde is the founder and executive director of the National Prayer Center headquartered in Washington, D.C. This important facility's primary function is to be a place of prayer for our Nation and its leaders. The center is open to Members of Congress and their staffs for times of prayer, devotion and spiritual encouragement. Pastor Wilde is also the senior pastor at Capital Christian Center in Meridian, Idaho, where he and his wife Connie have served for over 18 years. The Capital Christian Center is one of the largest churches in the State of Idaho. In addition, he has served as the Chaplain of the Idaho State Senate. Pastor Wilde is a graduate of Idaho's Northwest Nazarene College where he received a bachelor's degree in political science and history. He has a passion to see churches and believers of all denominations rally together in unified prayer for a revival in our Nation. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Pastor Wilde for his thoughtful words this morning and let him know that I am honored to have a fellow Idahoan share his faith and wisdom with the House of Representatives during these trying times in our Nation's storied history.”
