SOS Events Around The World!

April 15, 2026

This past week, something amazing happened—over 275 people from Hong Kong, China, another 137 from Singapore, and visitors from more than 50 other countries came across the SOS Events website.

Just think about that for a moment… people from all around the world, different languages, cultures, and backgrounds, all connected by one simple thing—the opportunity to hear the Gospel.

We may not be able to travel to every nation, but God has opened a door through technology that reaches where we cannot physically go. Every visit is a soul, every click a chance, every moment an opportunity for someone to come to know Christ.

It reminds us that the mission field is not just across the ocean—it’s also right at our fingertips.

Let’s continue to pray that each visitor not only sees the message, but receives it… and that God uses SOS Events to shine His light into every corner of the world.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

Quote From John R. Rice

April 14, 2026

“The so-called “social gospel” lays stress upon this life, not on the next. In many quarters it is now regarded as very old-fashioned and passe’ to urge people to prepare to die. Social security, better housing, relief for tenant farmers, better living conditions for the poor and the care of underprivileged children—these have occupied so much of the teaching and preaching of these modern days, that preachers have left hungry-hearted people ignorant about Heaven.”
― John R. Rice

John Rice was a powerful preacher many years ago. He has passed from this life to a new life in Heaven. His words are still even more true today.

Are you ready for Heaven?

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

Lyle and Shirley Faithful Servants!

April 13, 2026

Lyle and his wife Shirley have been a tremendous blessing to SOS Events for many years. As faithful “snowbirds” traveling from Michigan to Florida, they have consistently given their time and energy to serve wherever needed.

Now, as they return to Michigan, Lyle is stepping into an exciting new chapter—helping to start and strengthen a team there. He works alongside an established group led by Loraine and Larry, faithfully supporting their SOS Events outreach efforts.

What makes Lyle’s story especially inspiring is that he is embracing this new responsibility at 91 years old. His willingness to serve proves that God can use anyone, at any age, who is willing to step forward in faith.

Lyle and Shirley are shining examples of dedication, faithfulness, and a heart for reaching others.

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Isaiah 46:4

Sunday A Day To Rest!

April 12, 2026

Sunday is often full—church services, conversations, meals, and responsibilities. But beyond all of that, God invites us into something deeper: rest for the soul.

This kind of rest isn’t just sitting still—it’s remembering.

Remembering how good God has been.

Remembering His faithfulness through the week.

Remembering that we are held in His care.

The psalmist didn’t say, “Find rest somewhere new.”

He said, “Return unto thy rest.”

That means your soul already knows where peace is found—in the Lord!

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.” Psalm 116:7 (KJV)

Training For A New Volunteer!

April 11, 2026

It was such a blessing to welcome Ana to the SOS home office in Dover, Florida this week. She made the trip all the way from Jacksonville with a desire to learn, grow, and get involved in the work of the ministry.

Ana came to be trained, and it was clear right away that she has a heart ready to serve the Lord. After her time with us, she is preparing to volunteer at upcoming Flea Market outreaches—an area where so many lives are touched with the Gospel.

Even more exciting, Ana will be stepping into a key role as the secretary for the newly formed Jacksonville, Florida SOS team. What a joy it is to see God raising up workers who are willing to not only go out and witness, but also help organize and strengthen the ministry behind the scenes.

We are thankful for Ana’s willingness to serve and her desire to be used of the Lord. Please join us in praying for her as she begins this new chapter—both in outreach and leadership.

Here am I; send me.” — Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

Two Egg Hunts On The Same Day In Florida!

April 10, 2026

This past Saturday, just before Easter, SOS Events had the privilege of being part of two special egg hunts in Florida—and God truly blessed both opportunities.

At the stadium in Plant City, families gathered for a fun-filled day of activities, laughter, and excitement. In the midst of the festivities, the Gospel was shared, and we rejoice that 5 individuals trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior. What a reminder that even simple community events can become life-changing moments when the message of hope is presented.

At a local Missionary Baptist Church, another egg hunt brought people together in a more intimate setting. There, hearts were touched as well, and we praise the Lord that 2 people made decisions for Christ. Every soul matters, and heaven rejoices over each one.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Psalm 145:18

Egg Hunt in Pennsylvania

April 9, 2026

This past weekend at an Easter egg hunt at Valley Forge Baptist Church in Pennsylvania, something far more important than eggs being found took place—hearts were reached with the Gospel.

During this event, 3 individuals made the life-changing decision to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. What a blessing to see both young and older alike responding to the truth of God’s Word. From a teenager to an adult and a child, it was a beautiful reminder that the Gospel is for every age and every stage of life.

We thank the Lord for those who faithfully shared the message and for the opportunity to be a light in the community. Truly, this is what SOS Events is all about—taking the Gospel wherever people are gathered.

Let’s continue to pray for these new believers, that they will grow in their faith and follow the Lord all the days of their lives.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”Romans 10:17 (KJV)

Mountain Top Flea Market

April 8, 2026

Recently, another successful day at the Mountain Top Flea Market in Attalla, Alabama. This SOS Events team, led by Ronnie Burlison, had 13 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior.

What a powerful reminder of this verse—faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Each conversation, each Gospel presentation, and each willing worker sharing the truth makes an eternal difference.

Those 13 decisions didn’t happen by accident. It happened because someone was willing to speak, and someone was willing to listen. God’s Word still works today just as it always has.

May we never underestimate the power of simply sharing the Gospel. You never know who is ready to hear—and believe.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

Alabama SOS Events Training

April 6, 2026

Wednesday, April 1st, starting at 6pm CST. This class will teach us how to share the Gospel while helping to build your confidence with leading someone to know Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful night of Discipleship Training with SOS ministries and Beth Walker Beth Wes Walker. We had so much fun and can’t wait for Lafayette Day to share what we have learned.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16

Jesus Has Risen! Happy Resurrection Day!

April 5, 2026

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 26:1-9
