The agency will help facilitate the award-winning family group’s growing number of shows in performing arts centers and theatres, along with churches, festivals and conferences where they have been mainstays for decades. <br> <br>JRA Faith will be booking The Nelons’ popular "Americana Tour," "Winter’s Carol Christmas Tour," and "Be Our Guest Tour," along with stand-alone performances. <br> <br>“JRA Faith is excited to welcome The Nelons to our agency,” said Jeff Roberts, president, JRA Faith. “They have been legends in the Southern Gospel genre going all the way back to 1977, and with their loyal fanbase and strong history of repeat performances, they are a great addition to our roster.” <br> <br>“We are honored to be joining the stellar roster of JRA Faith,” said The Nelons’ Jason Clark. “We have long admired their team’s commitment to excellence as they create and support state of the art performances from many of our industry’s leaders. In the last few years, we have seen our Americana and Christmas outings draw many new fans, and we have a vision for making these tours better than ever. This new relationship will help us do that.” <br> <br>ABOUT THE NELONS <br>Inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2016, The Nelons have been one of Gospel music’s best-loved families for nearly five decades. The group has been nominated for three GRAMMY® Awards; received eight Dove Awards—including Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year in 2021 (“If God Pulls Back The Curtain”); 14 Singing News Fan Awards; a Silver Angel Award; a People’s Choice Silver Telly Award; and a New York Film Festival Award. The Nelons have recorded more than 35 albums, amassing over 20 Top 5 Southern Gospel radio singles, including such classics as “We Shall Wear A Robe and Crown,” “Come Morning,” “O For A Thousand Tongues” and “Thanks.” They have frequently been featured on the best-selling Gaither Homecoming recordings and videos, and have performed on the Grand Ole Opry, among other historic venues. <br> <br>The Nelons continue the rich tradition initiated by family patriarch Rex Nelon, father of Kelly Nelon Clark, who began his legendary career when he joined Gospel Music Hall of Fame members The LeFevres in 1957. The group eventually became known as The Rex Nelon Singers before changing their name to The Nelons in 1982. Through the decades, The Nelons’ polished harmonies and performances, and their anthology of timeless songs, have helped to expand the audience for Gospel music around the world. <br> <br>ABOUT JRA FAITH <br>JRA Faith started in 2017 and services contemporary Southern Gospel and classic CCM artists. Mike Roberts, a 30-year veteran CCM agent, heads the department, which represents The Collingsworth Family, The Isaacs, David Phelps, Jason Crabb, Sandi Patty, Avalon Worship and other leading artists.</p>The Nelonstag:thenelons.com,2005:Post/69744982022-05-23T15:32:34-04:002022-05-23T15:32:34-04:00Autumn wins Female Vocalist of the Year!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57133/ddbe757173d589fcc384c14f5c7385c9f793813d/original/img-6467.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />We're so proud to announce that Autumn has won the 2022 Absolutely Gospel Award for Female Vocalist of the Year.</p>The Nelonstag:thenelons.com,2005:Post/69741362022-05-23T15:32:23-04:002022-05-23T15:32:23-04:00New Release: Scars In Heaven<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57133/fadf8c8f68437140eca8770a15c9ba76b0123caa/original/scars.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />New Release out now.

<p>Jason is scheduled to have open heart surgery at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, GA. It has been discovered that he has a birth defect of a Myo Cardio Bridge. This bridge has been restricting over 90% blood flow to the main artery every time the heart beats. We’ve placed our fears, our doubts, our lives in the Master Physician’s Hand. </p>
<p>This surgery will impact everyone around us. Kelly will need the prayers and support as she takes on more responsibility at home and managing the road, office. Our son-in-law Nathan, will be flying in/out weekly to help us all the while he continues to work at his own ministry position in Washington. </p>
<p>Since Jason helps a lot with the driving we will have to hire an extra person to cover the long overdrives while He is unable to do so. </p>
<p>Jason’s mother Linda will be flying to GA to help take care of him when the group returns to the road, and she will be paying out of pocket for nurses to care for her two Alzheimer’s patients. Also Jason’s dad is going through daily dialysis will be home alone and will need prayer for strength. </p>
<p>Please pray for everyone around us and for the extra expenses of having them in place to keep our ministry and home going. </p>
<p>We are specifically asking for them to be favored and prospered for their sacrifice, their needs to be met in abundance, their strength, and patience. </p>
<p>Please pray with us over the following: </p>
<p>1- May God receive glory in many ways through out this journey, and that the family would know the peace of God. </p>
<p>2- Please pray for the Surgeon and her staff, Doctor Theresa Luu. </p>
<p>3- Please pray for the Nelon’s and all the staff and all those who are sacrificing so much to help us get through this. </p>
<p>4- Please pray for a full recovery for Jason and that God would grant Him many more years of ministry. </p>
<p>5- Please pray for God’s supernatural provision as the hospital bills mount up, insurance premiums rise, and the costs of hiring extra support and employees during this difficult time. </p>

<p>Checks can be made to: </p>

<p>Americana Music is birthed by the influence of shared and varied music traditions of the United States of America. It’s music that comes for the heart of the American experience. Sometimes it’s a very explicit expression of pain and suffering as found in spirituals. Other times it’s found in the pride of our nation in our patriotic anthems and tunes we hear while watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Often times it’s found in our hearts, in love songs that couples have shared for generations. It can be found in our family traditions, such as gathering around the piano or guitar singing folk songs handed down from generation to generation. It can be experienced in the simple joy of turning up the car radio and singing along “at the top of our lungs” with our favorite song. And it can be felt in the tear that streams our face as a song reminds of someone remembered or a moment in time long past. </p>
<p>Regardless of your favorite song or style of Americana music, most music historians will tell you the unquestioned root of all genres of “American” music is gospel music. So, it just makes sense that the most qualified of all music artists to sing America’s music would be a family whose roots in gospel music are firmly planted – Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame members, The Nelons. And the songs that weave throughout the fabric of our great nation – songs of faith, family, and country are what you will find on this latest recording and are the basis of a new tour. </p>
<p>“Faith informs and is the foundation of everything we do,” states Kelly Nelon Clark. “It’s just not about the music, but in all facets of our lives. We do the best we can humanly do to conduct our lives and make decisions based upon our relationship with God and His Word. So, stepping out to record and perform songs that aren’t necessarily blatantly Gospel songs was not something we did lightly. A lot of prayer, thought, and counsel went into this. But we felt this was a door that God was opening for us. And this is not solely for our benefit, but an opportunity for us to take His message of hope and love to new venues and audiences that we have never sung to in our forty year history.” </p>
<p>Jason Clark says that when a promoter pitched the idea to The Nelons about performing their signature gospel music along with family friendly American standards in civic centers and fine art centers across the country with a live band, it inspired him to “flip an old model on its head.” </p>
<p>“When I was a kid, on our way to church on Sundays,” Jason shares, we listened to the local radio station play gospel songs by the top gospel groups and also country artists like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, the Statler Brothers and others. It was standard practice back then that country music artists would make gospel records and would sing a gospel song or two on their TV shows or at fairs and concerts. So, I thought it would be great to record some of our favorite folk, country, and family friendly songs and sing them at these concerts to draw in the audience. Maybe connect with them in a different way. We’ll still be The Nelons and will still sing our signature Gospel songs. But this gives us a chance to try something new.” </p>
<p>“Our connections to country music are stronger than most people realize,” Kelly interjects. “While with The LeFevres, my father was on the Porter Wagoner Show, had a small role in a movie with Jerry Reed and Burt Reynolds, and was on the Grand Ole Opry several times. And we recorded songs written by country stars like George Jones. Harold Reid of The Statler Brothers even wrote the backliner notes on one of our albums. And one of Daddy’s closest friends was Duane Allen of the Oak Ridge Boys. We recorded our first album at his studio in 1977 when the group changed names from The LeFevres to The Rex Nelon Singers. This group is my father’s legacy and I truly believe he would be proud of this album and would enjoy this tour as much – and probably more – as we are enjoying it.” </p>
<p>The songs that Kelly, Amber, Autumn, and Jason present all reflect life in America from varying perspectives with common themes. There are songs of faith, home, family, and America. There are songs about love and relationships; mistakes and disappointments; joy and redemption; memories and longing. There are songs you know and love and will sing along with over and over. </p>
<p>The concerts take you back in time to a place where life was simple. You’ll laugh, cry, reminisce, and rejoice. You’ll thank God for His blessings. And just maybe when you leave, you’ll have just a little more love for the things that last forever and are the most important in your life – God, family, and country.</p>The Nelonstag:thenelons.com,2005:Post/45523352017-01-16T18:30:29-05:002017-01-16T18:30:29-05:007 Nominations at the 2017 AGMA's<p>We are honored to have received 7 Nominations at the 2017 AGMA's Nashville, TN.

Produced and arranged by Lari Goss, with four selections produced and arranged by Goss and Jason Clark, <em>Hymns</em> reimagines timeless songs of the Church, placing the distinctive vocals of Kelly Nelon Clark, Jason Clark, Amber Nelon Thompson and Autumn Nelon Clark at the forefront.<br> <br>Bringing together 15 of The Nelons’ favorite hymns, choruses and spiritual songs, including three medleys, <em>Hymns</em> features “There Is A Fountain”; “I Need Thee Every Hour” and “Tis So Sweet,” along with medleys “Sweet Hour of Prayer/If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again/Pray” and “Pass Me Not/Just As I Am/Amen.” The collection leads off with a stirring rendition of “The Hallelujah Chorus.”<br> <br>“We couldn’t be prouder of <em>Hymns: The A Cappella Sessions</em>,” said Kelly Nelon Clark. “It was so fun for us as a family to rediscover many of the songs that both Jason and I, and our children, have been impacted by through the years. We wanted the project to reflect the diversity of the music we’ve loved within the Church, from 'The Hallelujah Chorus' to the spiritual tones of 'There Is A Fountain,' to the fun harmonies of 'Do Unto Others.' We hope this will be a collection that families can enjoy together for many years to come.”<br> <br>During their legendary tenure as one of Gospel music’s leading families, The Nelons have garnered six GMA Dove Awards; three GRAMMY® Award nominations; 14 Singing News Fan Awards; a Silver Angel Award; a New York Film Festival Award for the history-making short form video “Famine In Their Land”; and a People's Choice Silver Telly Award for the concept video "Excuse Me, Are You Jesus?" The group has recorded more than 35 albums, and has amassed more than 20 Top 5 Southern Gospel radio singles, including such classics as “We Shall Wear A Robe and Crown,” “Come Morning,” “O For A Thousand Tongues” and “Thanks.” They have frequently been featured on the best-selling Gaither Homecoming recordings and videos, and have performed on The Grand Ole Opry, among other historic venues. <br> <br>The Nelons continue the rich tradition initiated by family patriarch Rex Nelon, who joined Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductees The LeFevres in 1957. The group eventually became known as The Rex Nelon Singers before changing their name to The Nelons in 1982. Through the decades, The Nelons’ polished harmonies and performances, and their anthology of timeless songs, have helped to expand the audience for Gospel music around the world.<br><br>For further information: <a href="http://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b45a1d58c332789d0efea331f&id=1d3e8b77be&e=7bf432aa9f" style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">thenelons.com</a>, <a href="http://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b45a1d58c332789d0efea331f&id=93e6767095&e=7bf432aa9f" style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">turningpointpr.com</a>, or The Judy Nelon Group (<a href="mailto:aaron@nelonpr.com" target="_blank">aaron@nelonpr.com</a>).

The Central American nation has countless orphans throughout the country, but the future for 60 children will be dramatically impacted thanks to a brand new orphanage, sponsored by Jason Clark and his wife, Kelly Nelon Clark. Opening during the summer of 2014, The Nelons and MANNA Worldwide are partnering to raise the remaining funds needed to launch this rescue operation.</span><br><br><span style="letter-spacing:0.0px"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57133/9181e21cf8a52f4e0376c508d6a328f0b86198e3/small/photo-2.jpg?1398386134" class="size_s justify_right border_none" alt="" />In the fall of 2013, Jason and Kelly, along with daughters, Amber and Autumn, led a survey trip to Guatemala. “During this time,” Jason recalls, “God began to prepare our hearts and inspire us to dream the impossible. We’ve been involved in various Global Mission Ministries throughout the years; however, providing for 60 children’s lives seemed truly impossible to me. The great thing is that God has already begun performing miracles! We have a building, a wonderful partnership with MANNA Worldwide, overseers, volunteers and a missionary family to help run this huge operation. We are beyond thrilled at the privilege of rescuing children and having the opportunity to care for them. We are helping develop these precious young lives for the glory of Christ. What a true honor this is for us.”</span><br><br><span style="letter-spacing:0.0px"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57133/ee93435b00351671fc900f51270e43f861990016/small/photo-3.jpg?1398386137" class="size_s justify_left border_none" alt="" />MANNA Worldwide has been caring for and feeding children over the last 14 years. The organization operates in 40 countries with 118 nutrition centers, medical clinics, and schools. They also currently operate 17 orphanages that care for children around the world. MANNA Worldwide has a consistent, proven track record for ministry and is committed to providing for the well being of more than 13,000 children every day. Bruce O’Neal, the founder and President of MANNA Worldwide remarks, “Partnering with The Nelons is a wonderful example of the body of Christ coming together to care for the less fortunate in the world. I could not be more pleased that MANNA and The Nelons will be working together in Guatemala.”</span><br><br><span style="letter-spacing:0.0px"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57133/fdb4f84b4c50c612458d9ac91d15eb3a154ea99f/small/photo-4.jpg?1398386139" class="size_s justify_right border_none" alt="" />During our trip to Guatemala,” Kelly shares, “we fell in love with the people of this country, especially the children. It moved me to tears to watch my girls play and share with these precious kids who just need to know they are loved. I told Jason at that very moment, that we just had to do more.”</span><br><br><span style="letter-spacing:0.0px">The Guatemalan orphanage being built will be ready to house children on the first floor starting this summer. This partnership between The Nelons and MANNA Worldwide will be long-term, in an effort to sustain the orphanage. “With their years of experience and integrity in the field, MANNA is the perfect organization to partner with us in launching The Nelon Kid’s project at Hogar de Ninos de Mana (MANNA’s Children Home),” Jason states. “We will be sharing information about our work in Guatemala with our friends all across the country. We’d like all our friends to have the opportunity to be a part of this heart-moving work. We’ll be taking another trip to visit the Orphanage once we get up and running later in the year, and we would love to take a lot of our friends with us. We’ll be sharing more information about that trip in the weeks to come. Together, we can help so many kids that simply cannot help themselves.”</span><br><br><span style="letter-spacing:0.0px">More information regarding this particular project, as well as MANNA Worldwide is available at <a href="http://www.mannaworldwide.com/Nelons" target="_blank"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;color:rgb(2,30,170)">www.mannaworldwide.com/Nelons</span></a> or at <a href="http://www.thenelons.com/" target="_blank"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;color:rgb(2,30,170)">www.theNelons.com</span></a>.</span>The Nelonstag:thenelons.com,2005:Post/24882012014-01-29T16:28:39-05:002014-01-29T17:55:30-05:00CHRISTIAN MUSIC CONCERT SET TO TAKE PLACE JANUARY 30 AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH - POSTPONED TO MARCH 27th<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>for immediate release . . .</b></span>

The true-to-life story, put to song by legendary Christian music icons Bill & Gloria Gaither and Country music superstar Larry Gatlin tells the story of a man who makes a startling connection upon missing his home-bound flight. Point Light Pictures, LLC was brought to the task of making the story come to life. While the music video has been displayed at numerous events - live concerts, Gaither Homecoming Tour before thousands in attendance, Pastor David Jeremiah's "Turning Point" rally at Phillips Arena, and many churches - it has not been viewable on-line, until now.

While you are sitting around the table or in front of the game on television we encourage you to take in all the images around you. These are certianly days that you will want to reflect upon as the years come and go. It's more than about a turkey or our favorite football team, it's about being thankful for the blessings God has bestowed on us.<br type="_moz">The Nelonstag:thenelons.com,2005:Post/734032010-05-07T00:00:00-04:002010-05-07T00:00:00-04:00One Thankful Mother<br>
We recently sang in a church around Lexington, KY on a Sunday morning. As the service was about to start, around 15-20 girls came in and sat on the first, second and third rows. I noticed that they all had on the same pants and sweaters. I watched as they sang and clapped as if they had not a care in the world. They were mostly teenagers and I wondered who they were and where were they from. The Preacher called for us to sing, and as we sang they watched us intently, hanging on every word we sang and spoke. The laughed as we tried to say a few humorous things but really checking us out. When I sat down as the offering was taken I asked the music minister who they were. I learned they were from a girl’s home. Some of them had been abused, some were troubled teens, and some had been abandoned by their parents. There were many different situations and circumstances there. As I looked at them my heart broke for them and their heartaches. I reached over and put my arm around Amber and I silently thanked God that my girls were there in church with me that they had Jesus in their heart and were safe and sound. I sang with new zeal as we returned to the platform. I prayed that something that we sang would touch their hearts. At the end of the service the invitation was given, and many came to the altar. One girl in particular caught my attention. She was sobbing and several women were praying with her and just holding her. I found out that she had been praying that she could see her mother. She was missing her. It was heartbreaking. As people continued to pray I couldn’t help but look down at her. About the time that I was looking down at her, she looked up at me. Through the big tears in her eyes she mouthed the words thank you to me. You know me I could not hold back the tears. I didn’t know and still don’t know what she was thanking me for but I was thankful that God answered my prayer and used us in her situation. I thanked Him for allowing me to get it… to know that the reason we sing is not to win awards (and we are thankful for each and every one) or gather success or wealth or fame, but we are out there to present the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is an honor to do so and to be able to travel with my family is this girl’s greatest joy, and the best mother’s day present I could ever receive. <br><br><br>

Monday night had to be one of my favorites nights of all time. Judy Nelon produced a program that included many great artist including, Triumphant Quartet,Guy Penrod, Karen Peck and New River, Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, The Oak Ridge Boys, Jason Crabb, The Bowlings, Gold City and many more. It was so good to see all all of our friends there. We enjoyed getting to sing with Robe and Crown with Karen and New River. I think one of the highlights for me was listening to the stories as a person from each group introduced the next group. There were great stories told, and I shared one about Karen and my father the practical joker. You will have to wait for the video to hear it though. <br><br>
Tuesday continued on with the making of our first DVD in a while called "How Great Thou Art. Hopefully it will be out in the next few months. I think <br>
Amber sings this as well as anything I have ever heard her sing. I want to say thank you to Diana Thomas and Family Friendly Network for working out all the details for the shoot.<br><br>

These are the awards given that are not shown on TV, but I must say that I thought the pre-show was as good or better than the real show. Stephen Hubbard produced this and it was really a who's who of talent on stage and in the audience. I enjoyed presenting 4 awards with Jeff and Sheri and as always Jeff was his funny self. We sang an encore performance with Karen Peck on Robe and Crown. The only thing that could have made it better was to have looked over and seen my father singing bass.<img src="//bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /> As we exited the stage after our performance, I saw a group that I have always loved, "Point Of Grace". Beautiful ladies, who sing to the Glory of God and are examples to women everywhere. For awhile I shared the same label Word records but never knew them personally. When we stepped off the dark headed girl Leigh Cappillino said are you Kelly Nelon? Feeling a little shy I squeaked out yes I am. She said to the other girls, Denise Jones, and Shelly Breen, look you guys it's really Kelly Nelon. She started telling Karen and I that when they first started they loved The Nelons and that Leigh would be me and Denise was Karen. I stood there in amazement. She said our favorite song that you sang was Thanks and we ended our program with it. Here we are and I am thinking how much I loved their music and never had any idea that they knew who we were. It was such a compliment and it really made my day. And they were as nice as you could have imagined. I guess you never know who might be listening to your music, that is why we always strive to do the very best songs lyrically and musically. Point of Grace are my new best friends.... We tried to get a picture but there were no cameras in the well of backstage and they were up next to present, but it will always remain in my mind as one of the nicest compliments I have ever received.<br><br>
We finished out the week doing photos with Aaron Cristler and Judy Nelon doing art direction. They turned out beautiful, and I was really thankful for all the help. Autumn liked Judy's (Grandy) Roast and potato's the best. We left there and finished with concerts on the weekend with Billy Hill and then in Collinwood with the Caltons (some of our dearest friends). Now back at home in Jacksonville, Fl for a few days to prepare for leaving again. Boy, I really love my life...I really do!!!!!<br></b>The Nelons
