Plane Crash Claims the Lives of a Southern Gospel Group
Many southern gospel fans were in shock this morning upon hearing news of a plane crash that claimed the lives of Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, Amber and Nathan Kistler, their assistant, Melodi Hodges, and pilot, Larry Haynie and his wife, Melissa.
The crash occurred near Gillette, Wyoming, where the group was on their way to meet up with their Gaither Homecoming friends for an Alaskan cruise.
The first song I remember hearing the Nelons sing was “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” back in the 1980s, but when I think of the current group, the song that comes to mind is “Then Came the Morning.” I was impressed with Amber’s voice the first time I heard it, and she just got better as time went on.
Please keep Autumn Nelon Streetman and the rest of the Nelon and Clark families in your prayers.
As soon as I heard the news, I thought of you and wondered if you might have known them. A sad and tragic situation for all their family and friends, but a glorious promotion for them to glory! May their songs bring comfort to many, but more importantly, bring glory to our Savior.
