Dwight was a great gentleman of tremendous stature in Christ. Always kind and gentle, friendly and encouraging, he always brightened the day when I saw him. It has been a privilege to be among his friends. His presence in heaven is one more reason to look forward to our glad reunion day.

Rev. Neuenschwander sponsored our first church in Salina, Kansas.
It was a district plant. He encouraged his people to be involved with the new

They were very generous. We will always remember their leadership
and gracious spirit. Our prayers will be with his wife and family.

One of the highlights of our ministry was having him for revival and looking forward to our newsy annual Christmas card exchange. Eula Mae, you will be in our prayers as you adjust to your loss. He was a fine Christian man and set a wonderful example for those of us who were privileged to know him. May God lift you...
