Dwight K. Nelson, a Seventh-day Adventist evangelist and author, has served the faith community in various capacities over the years. Nelson's journey began with his bachelor's degree from Southern Missionary College, later earning a Master of Divinity, and a Doctor of Ministry from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. His tenure as a pastor in Oregon for a decade prepared him for his 40-year-service as the senior pastor of Pioneer Memorial Church on the campus of Andrews University.

Nelson's body of work extends beyond pastoral duties. He has been the preacher for the Adventist satellite evangelistic series "The NeXt Millennium Seminar" in 1998, hosted television programs such as "The Evidence" and "New Perceptions", and presented discussion-style series like "Evidence: Through My Experience" and "Mind The Gap" at Newbold College. His ability to converse in Japanese broadened his reach, allowing him to connect with a diverse audience. In addition to these roles, Nelson serves as an adjunct teacher of homiletics at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews.

As an author, Nelson has penned books like "Outrageous Grace", "Countdown to the Showdown", "Built to Last", "Pursuing the Passion of Jesus", "The Eleventh Commandment", and "The Claim". His writings reflect his devotion and commitment to the faith. Nelson's emphasis on establishing a "forever friendship with God", a theme he chose for the Adventist church's Net '98 evangelistic series, echoes through his works and teachings. Nelson's service to his community and commitment to his faith exemplify his dedication and resilience.
