Ed Nelson Evangelistic Association

Just over three weeks ago, Dad/Grandpa went Home to be with Jesus. We wanted to publicly thank you all for the many cards, texts, and conversations we have had or received letting us know how Ed Nelson impacted your life and/or ministry. It has been encouraging to read all of them. What an impact 1 life surrendered to Christ can make!

We also wanted to thank those who have donated to the Ed Nelson Memorial Fund for the Bob Jones University Preacher Boys. Your kindness and generosity will make a difference in the lives of the next generation of preachers for years to come. If you would still like to make a donation, you can do so at www.EdNelsonEvangelistic.org/NelsonHomegoing.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support as we rejoice in the life of Dad and Grandpa – a life lived to the glory of God.

“Absent from the body… present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8

On March 9, 2022 at 6:33 am, Edward John Nelson entered eternity. The God he served his entire life has finally called him Home. He fought the good fight, he finished his course, he kept the faith. We praise the Lord for the 98 years He gave us with Dr. Nelson. He was a husband, dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother, uncle, friend, mentor, and more. And to many of you, he was simply “Pastor” — the under-shepherd of the flock, the preacher of the Word, the man who walked with God and showed others to do the same. He will be missed, but we know we will see him again because of the Savior Jesus whom he loved and served.

We will post additional information as service details are finalized.

We are sad to inform you that Dr. Nelson’s heart is failing. His doctor believes he only has a few days left to live at the most. He is comfortable at home with his family around him. We appreciate the love and prayers as we remember the wonderful 98 years the Lord has given him. It seems to be the end of this chapter, but he is still saying, “To God be the glory! I’m only a sinner saved by grace.”

Feel free to send us a private message. We would be happy to read them to him.

We will update here with further details in the days ahead. Please share and pass the word to those on and off Facebook.

Someone turns 98 today! We are thankful for the many wonderful years God has blessed Dr. Nelson with — and thankful that we get to share in that blessing.

We are thrilled to announce that the audiobook is finally available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes! Dr. Nelson's youngest grandson, Zachary, is the narrator and does an excellent job reading the story of A Sinner Saved By Grace. You can download your own copy of the audiobook here.
