Andy & Heather Nelson, East Poestenkill, NY (2026)

East Poestenkill is on a plateau in the Taconic Mountains of upstate New York. From late November through March, it’s cold, often snowy, and the sun sets early, so people typically stay home more. This area is one of the top 10 churchless regions in America. Just leaving our home is a mission trip.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

  1. Pray for wisdom as we lead with truth and grace.
  2. Pray against the emotional and spiritual darkness many people experience during winter.
  3. Pray for our five sons to draw closer to Jesus as Lord and Savior.
  4. Pray for our church family to know the love and counsel of Jesus, grow in love for one another, and have wisdom and courage to share the hope of Jesus with others.
