Nikita Koloff at the 2022 NC Faith & Freedom Salt & Light Conference

Introducing Nikita Koloff is Mr. Chris Williams. Nikita was born in the projects of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nikita was the youngest of four and raised by a single mom. While training for a pro football tryout, he was introduced to professional wrestling in 1984. Known as “The Russian Nightmare" and “The Russian Road Warrior” in the ring, his Hall-of-Fame World Championship Professional Wrestling career would take him around the world for the next eight years. More than accolades on a football field or wrestling championship belts, he says his journey with Jesus is the true highlight of his life. Soon after he retired, he surrendered his life to Christ. His men’s ministry has taken him to over 1200 churches in 28 different denominations in all 50 states and 30 countries.
About the Conference
The Salt & Light 2022 Conference celebrates its 5th year by welcoming prominent leaders from across the nation to declare the TRUTH of God’s Word to educate, equip, and encourage attendees to stand up and become part of the cultural conversation by following the biblical mandate of being Salt & Light. This year’s event drew attendees to Charlotte from across the state and region to Freedom House Church to participate in the largest faith-based policy conservative two-day conference in North Carolina. Using a TED-style format, each speaker is provided 15-to-20 minutes representing the seven mountains of influence (family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government).
The Salt & Light Conference is sponsored by NC Faith & Freedom Coalition, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization focused on empowering faithful Christians with the facts necessary to understand which public policies reflect our values, and which ones undermine them. The organization works to inform voters about critical issues relevant to faith-based communities and then equip our attendees with the tools they need to be a force for good in their community.

You hear of so many sad stories of former wrestlers lives being cut short for tragic reasons. God spoke to "Nikita" and he answered! Very inspirational. Many prayers and blessings to you sir.

[@rustykuntz94]

It's amazing now that we know how much the wrestling "work" was pulled off but great to see Nikita & Steve Borden (Sting) turn their lives over to God & treat each day as a Blessing

What a great video to introduce wrestling marks to Christ, Nikita was killer, and he can still do the voice, too cool.

[@rwlwrestlingleague2975]

I met Nikita at a wrestling show I produced for TV in 2003. He's the real deal, and he did the Ric Flair gag at that show too. Much Love, Nikita. God bless and protect you.

My wife and I enjoyed meeting Nikita at a conference in Kernersville a couple of months ago. I shared this video today on my Facebook page, praying that it ministers to those on my friends list the same way it ministered to me in my quiet time this morning.

I heard him preach years ago and he really brought a good message.
