Car Shows are a favorite events for the Staff at SOS. One of the big church car shows is in the little sleepy town of Dover, FL. Actually just a mile or two from our headquarters.

Even though this event is only minutes from our property we have been unable to attend one of the car shows previously because of scheduling conflicts. However, we finally connected and what a surprise, over 300 old cars were registered and all food and activities are free.

As we sat waiting and praying for people to check out the “3 Things God Can Not Do” an older gentleman stopped by to see what was going on. His vintage truck was parked right behind our booth, but we did not know that at the time. He must have been listening as we presented the Gospel to several others before he came to see for himself.

He said he was not 100% sure he was going to Heaven but would like to be.

As he came back to the soul winners table, he was so humble as he told the soul winner he wanted to be saved.

As she presented the ABC’s of salvation to Tommy, tears rolled down his cheeks. It was a tremendous blessing to hear Tommy pray and invite Jesus to be his Savior.

He said, “I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer.” As his tears continued to flow, the soul winner felt led to call others to gather round and pray for him.

Tommy left that booth knowing for sure he is going to Heaven. What a blessing that we can know.

Sometimes God uses a diagnosis of a disease to get our attention and we are so thankful that God used SOS to assure this man of his eternal home in Heaven. Also, to give peace in time of trials. What a wonderful Savior.

1John 5:13

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

The answer was, “Yes, we would be happy to do that. When?”

“Tomorrow,” she said. So this morning she came and was trained and Thursday just 2 days away she has her first training with 3 ladies from her Bible study group.

On the same day her call came in a couple from Orlando called and asked to be trained this week also.

Tomorrow night they come to be trained at our office.

God is so good. Usually between Halloween and January it is very quiet at the SOS office. Not this year. We Praise the Lord we can be busy for Him and that new people want to take the Gospel to others via SOS. Please pray for the new workers and that many souls will be won to Christ through them.

Also, we have family members of staff who need prayer, John Slater, Carolyn Curtis’ son has terminal cancer. Dorothy, Diana Guiliano’s mother needs prayer as she has Parkinsons.

Also, our Senior Servants Ladies have various illnesses and need prayer.

Two friends who have cancer, Denny from Ohio and Mike in FL.

This is an unusual post to our webpage but we at SOS covet your prayers. “The effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. James 5:16

There will be an update within the next week. What a blessing.

We at SOS just want to Praise the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness to the ministry and to our staff personally.

There is also a need for volunteer workers, both on the ministry property and especially for new soul winners and trainers. The ministry is constantly growing. We could have used 50 new workers in October had they been available. Pray and ask the Lord what He would have you do.

“How about your friend?”

The friend was not sure but wanted to be, so they went back and sat down at one of the soul winning tables.

After the young man prayed to receive Christ, the girl said, “Tomorrow is my spiritual birthday. Last year in this booth I was born again. I have 2 birthdays.”

What a blessing. When people come back after a year or more and confirm their faith, and to know that God uses ordinary people who partner with SOS to win people to the Lord.

SOS can use people in all areas of the USA and beyond. Come join us.

Ivan and Dorinda Cardwell, Tom and Carolyn Curtis, from Florida, Don and Shirley Riegel, from Ohio all headed to Indiana for 2 large events, Duck Tail Run and James Dean Days. Scott and Joyce Weaver and several other trained workers participated in these 2 great events. Workers came from 3 area churches. Fairmont, IN the birthplace of James Dean (the actor), hosts James Dean Days and Gas City, IN hosts Duck Tail Run. Both towns are rich in history and fun places to visit. The local people are gracious and very helpful. This makes the trip fun, profitable and always exciting.

Duck Tail Run is a new event for SOS. In spite of all the rain we are thrilled to have seen 14 souls come to know the Lord. A special thanks goes to Larry Leach, mayor of Gas City, for helping us get set up at  Duck Tail Run.

SOS has set up a booth at James Dean Days for the last 5 years and God is always faithful to give us souls at this event. 103 were saved this year regardless of closing early due to bad weather. Thanks to all the faithful workers who participated.

Indiana is also home of the Gaither Family whose store, home and recording studio is only about 10 miles from where were camped. Our staff is grateful to Wesleyan Campground for allowing us to stay in their cabins and park at the campground. They are gracious hosts.

Gary is the sales person for a company that puts up carports and medal buildings. SOS has had him put up a carport for the vehicles about a year ago so we know the workmanship is good.

Gary came to the property to measure and help with the decision on where to put the enclosed carport and also the correct size. When he came into the office to write up the sale, he saw a Christian Life New Testament on the desk. He asked, “Do you give these away?”

Tom answered, “Would you like one?”

“Yes, I have been trying to learn more about Spiritual things.”

Tom said, “Take that one it’s yours, but let me ask you a question. Are you sure you are going to Heaven if you died today?”

His answer was, “Some days.”

Tom then proceeded to lead him into salvation. God is so good to bring into our lives the opportunity to witness for Him.

The structure we need is going to cost more that we expected. If anyone would like to make a donation toward that project, designate the donation for the building fund and it will be applied for that purpose.

The lady replied, “Yes, I was at a yard sale in Plant City, FL,  last spring and a man
asked my husband and me if we were 50, 75 or 100% sure we would go to Heaven if we died
that day.”

“I said, Yes, but my husband, Billy, said he was not sure. I was shocked.”

This wife did not want  Billy to stay, “You are sure, come on I want to shop”, she said.

Billy said, “No, I want to be sure.”

Both of them sat down and Tom led that man to the Lord that day in Plant City.

Back to the event in Brandon. Carolyn called Tom over and reminded him of the salvation
of Billy. He did remember and then asked if Billy was with her.

She called Billy over and there was a happy reunion in that foyer. Tom asked Billy,
“Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?”

A huge smile came on Billy’s face, “I am 100% sure ever since that day in Plant
City.”

Sometimes people say that Event Evangelism does not work, because it is too easy, but
testimonies like Billy’s prove that God does save souls at events. SOS goes to events to compel people to come into the family of God.

Luk 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel themto come in, that my house may be filled.
