Report from Sweetser, Indiana

SOS Events — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:22:23 +0000

Pastor Bishir in Indiana writes in his blog posting “Monday Report” on September 28th, “The last several days for me have been filled with some good things. On Friday I went to help with our James Dean Festival Outreach. We got there about 11 a.m. and spent the entire day until about 8 p.m. working our evangelistic booth. We teamed up with Tom & Carolyn Curtis of SOS Events who are seasoned soul winners and what a great three days of witnessing too and winning of souls for the Lord. On Friday it rained much of the day and the crowds were smaller but by the end of the day we had seen nearly 40 teens and adults give their lives to Christ. Each sincerely repented and prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior. Last night in church we were given the final count of those who received the Lord. It was reported that 167 people had come to know the Lord. Praise the Lord! What great stories behind each conversion. I will take some time this week and share some of these beautiful stories. But not only were people saved but more were witnessed to and the seed was sown and for many others the seed was fertilized. Thank the Lord His seed will never go return void.”

A Pastor writes

“It was such a blessing to see God work through the ministry that S.O.S provided! We shared the gospel with 181 people in only 13 hours…The Lord saved 13 of those people….We will continue to use this ministry in the future! Thank you so much!”

Double Blessing of Sharing – A Testimonial

SOS Events — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:42:28 +0000

Don Riegel sent in this testimonial he received from the pastor of the Wyandotte church event in July.

“many people in our church family found SOS’s evangelism training very user-friendly and practical! For example, after watching Don lead her eleven year old niece to the Lord, one gal, although in her late 40’s, and still unable to read, miraculously, with the help of a friend, managed not only to comprehend all the SOS materials but better still, go on to use what she learned to share the message of salvation. Subsequently, she signed up for a course in English and is now well on her way to learning how to read. Recently, when asked what her take away was from SOS ministries, she remarked, `thanks to SOS ministries my spiritual life has developed more this past year [2008] than the last twenty combined!’

From The Heart

SOS Events — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:02:55 +0000

The month of June and July have been very successful for Carolyn and me as we have traveled through many states setting up new events and updating some of our supporting churches. We went to 2 churches in North Florida and renewed friendships as well as made some new contacts. Three men were saved in a gas station as we were pumping gas. On to the Atlanta area where we had a lot of motor home problems. Flat tires, generator that would not work and so it took several days to make all the repairs. As we sat in repair shops we never missed an opportunity to tell whoever would listen the “3 things God Can Not Do.” As we lost several days because of the problems we had to move on quickly.

In PA we prearranged to meet Pastor Martens, who met us and gave us a new print machine that we now can use to design many new displays for soul winning. He personally drove from NJ to make sure we got this wonderful machine. Thank you.

On to OH were we had opportunity to be on the radio program “Daybreak” at WPOS. Jake really promoted SOS and we are thankful for the opportunity.

We stopped at a Wal-mart and a man saw our car which has our phone # on it. He called, brought his 3 adult children into the motor home and they were gloriously saved.

In Indiana we had the privilege of going downtown Marion where in about 3 hours 25 were saved. Several of the Christians that came to help had never led a soul to Christ. The next day I witnessed to an 83 year old man who came to Christ. He thought he was going to Heaven because his wife was there and prayed for him. More later…

Montana Pastor sends his report to SOS

Final count for the county fair 110. One hundred and five cards were filled out with name, address, age and phone number. One card was representing a family of six who were all saved.

The board of our church said that we should reserve the booth for next year’s County Fair. This was one of the better things that has taken place in our church in my 8 years here.

People are more confident in sharing their faith now. I am convinced more people would enter into spiritual conversations if we would just give them an opportunity to do so.

The S.O.S. booth at the Fair gives people such an opportunity. Thank you for all you did to help us become more involved in ministering to our community!

Pastor Paul
