Box 1578 Kosciusko, MS 39090 JAN/FEB, 2006 -- VOLUME 28; NUMBER 1 (Note: The following report was sent to us by Paul Coffman, a long time friend and spiritual brother to Nels Thompson.) On January 9, 2006 Brother Nels Thompson (age 74) passed into our Father's hands following a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, Mary J. Thompson of Minden, LA; a son, Jimmy Thompson and daughter-in-law T . J. Thompson of Heflin, LA; a grand-son Jared Thompson of Homer, LA; step- grandchildren, Geani Towns of Calhoun, LA and Kyle Towns of Dubberly, LA. He is survived by 5 sisters and 4 brothers -- all of whom live in Montana except a sister in Portland OR and a sister in Vancouver, WA. Sister Mary introduced Nels to Christ and to His church. As she reflected over their years together, she commented, "I owe so much to him. The privilege of being the wife of a sound gospel preacher who stood firmly for the truth and the opportunity of being his helpmate in doing the Lord's work has enriched my spiritual life greatly." Brother Thompson served as a Gospel Preacher in Campbell, MO, Newark, AR, Buna, TX, DeQuincy, LA, Homer, LA, Carthage, TX, Waynesboro, MS, Leesville, LA (Jackson Chapel), Rolling Fork, MS, Columbia, MS and Dubberly, LA. I was honored to work with Brother Nels as a Youth Minister while he served as the Pulpit Minister. Through more than 25years he has shown me how to draw close to our Lord -- even in the most difficult times of life. He was the anchor that held the chain to the Lord. Through his life, he grabbed all who would let him bring them to the Lord Jesus Christ. For those of us whose lives were blessed to know him and his beloved wife, we are indeed most blessed. ~Paul Coffman Editor's note: In a telephone visit with sister Thompson, she commented about brother Nels' activities after retiring from preaching in 2003. During the last few years, as a member of the College Street Church of Christ in Minden, Louisiana, Nels was pleased to fill in and preach where ever he could. He also enjoyed teaching Bible classes for the Minden church. His wife also stated that, in Nels' spare time, he really enjoyed wood-working and loved to give away, as gifts, many of his hand-made pieces. Sister Mary added that she was extremely pleased with the out- pouring of affection shown by the large crowd attending her husband's funeral service. She also expressed much gratitude for the abundance of floral arrangements which helped to make his departure a little less painful. _______________________ From the Minden Press-Herald, Jan 10, 2006: Funeral services for Mr. Nels Thompson Jr., 74, will be held at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2006, at Minden Church of Christ on College Street with Jim Frazier, Michael Marsters and Adrian Delukie officiating.
