Family & Friends,

Dr Dan Sauerwein served at Multnomah Bible College for 38 years.  Once on a Multnomah video he was asked how the year was going.  “Every year gets better and better” he said with a smile.  He was a walking billboard for the fruits of Spirit: love, joy, patience, and especially gentleness. Dr Dan was the “gentle giant.”  Armed with childlike faith he was so filled with love that it was inconceivable to every picture him returning evil for evil.  Treat him poorly and you would be honored on his prayer list.  He loved teaching Bible study methods.  When we had an opening for director of pastoral studies, I informed him that we were moving him from his loved Bible study courses to pastoral.  We had others who could teach Bible Study, but no one on the faculty with a shepherd’s heart like his.  He took the disappointment with grace and by the next morning had a list of great ideas for leading the pastoral department. As of Feb. 28, 2010 every day really does get better and better for the Gentle Giant who is now with the Great Shepherd.
