When you step into the waters of the river of God, abandoning all of self on the shoreline, you will experience a river that will flood your soul with incredible supernatural joy. A river from God that brings joy to everyone it touches.

From an encounter he experienced with God in 1995, Dwight has walked in the miraculous as God continues to confirm His spoken word by signs and wonders over his life and ministry. His calling has been fulfilled as an Author, Teacher, International Evangelist, Conference Speaker, and Executive Producer/Host of an international weekly television program.

Ministering under a powerful anointing, God has brought great blessing to the body of Christ through his life, his music, and his teachings.

After being raised in the Assemblies of God denomination under sound biblical teaching for over thirty eight years, the Lord opened up new ministry opportunities within a non-denominational fellowship where God fashioned the beginnings of River of Joy Ministries.

Nearly all of his life he has played a very influential role for Christ in the lives of people, teaching the Word of God to all ages, leading worship, and serving in leadership roles within the local church.

Dwight expresses his love for God in his daily walk and is also an avid worshipper. The worship music he sings during his concerts and meetings creates an atmosphere where God's presence comes and begins to work in every heart.

The fruit of the ministry is evident as many in the U.S. and in other nations have received salvation, deliverance, healing, and greater joy through the power of the Holy Spirit. God is using Dwight as a catalyst to light revival fires and bring about changed lives as he ministers through media broadcasting, in churches, crusades, orphanages, prisons, and schools. The Lord has touched many lives in several countries through the ministry including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Romania, South Africa, Kenya, Muldova, and India.

At the age of 48, he has been married for over 27 years to his wife Kathy, has three children, Carrie, Bethany, and Aaron, and is a lifelong resident of Staunton, Illinois.
