The Strawberry Festival continues today. Parade Day is an exciting day at the Festival. School is out for the children in Plant City. People from many States come to the Festival.
There have been 95 people who have trusted Jesus as their Savior in the last 4 days. Please continue to pray for the volunteers and especially the people passing by to be saved.
We do lift the name of Jesus when people come to the volunteer who explains the A,B, C plan of salvation.
Jesus said, And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:32
Isn’t it comforting to know that God is already working before we even form the words?
Sometimes we carry burdens quietly. We think through the problem, we rehearse the prayer in our mind, and before we ever say “Lord, help,” He is already moving. This verse reminds me that our Heavenly Father is attentive. He is not distant. He is not distracted. He is listening — even to the unspoken cries of our heart.
There have been many times in my life when the answer showed up before I realized I had truly prayed about it. That’s just how good God is. He knows the need. He sees the concern. And He lovingly responds.
Today, whatever is on your heart, be encouraged. You are not trying to get God’s attention — you already have it.
March 1-11, 2007 SOS Ministries in partnership with 10 churches from the Plant City, Fl area saw God do miraculous things.
January and February were busy months for the staff at SOS Ministries in preparation for this event. Tom and Carolyn Curtis, Jay and Penny Ayres spent many training sessions with the 58 people who worked a shift at the booth. We are especially thankful for Don and Shirley Riegel who drove from Ohio to help us with training and at the Festival. God brought the increase.
He is faithful and rewards dedicated people who serve Him. Many of the workers led their first soul to Christ and their enthusiasm is catching. We are now in the process of follow-up. We appreciate the volunteers who are writing letters, making phone calls and personally visiting the new converts.
This was the first post to social media about the Strawberry Festival. SOS Events started with the festival at least 2 years earlier.
Today starts another year that SOS Events will be there.
If you are a trained volunteer in Florida, you can be a part of this great opportunity to witness at this event. Sign up for your 3 hour shift before you miss your blessing.
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: Isaiah 43:10a
(All the participants in this article have gone on to Heaven except Carolyn and Penny. Imagine the people who will meet them who were saved at Strawberry Festival)
Some of the office staff went to the vendor appreciation dinner at the Plant City Strawberry Festival last evening.
Every year the vendors are blessed with a great meal and a big strawberry shortcake.
SOS Events has been blessed to have a booth in the festival for over 20 years. Over 6000 people have trusted Jesus as their Savior.
The festival starts Thursday and we still have some vacant slots for volunteers. If you have been trained or would like a quick training, and want to sign up to have a part in this great opportunity, please call the home office today. 813-494-7512.
God will bless you as you obey the great commission. Go and tell.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
SOS Events volunteers were at the Plant city car show on Saturday. God richly blessed their faithfulness with 10 people who made decisions to follow the Lord.
God answers prayer, the classic car is running well and is a good draw for people at car shows. God has provided drivers to get the car there and volunteers that give us their time and talent.
We are especially grateful for the 10 people who trusted Jesus is our savior and now pray that they will continue to grow in their new faith.
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” Luke 14:23
SOS Events training is important because it gives confidence to the participants.
Sometimes there is one person. Jessica came to the office to be trained so she can volunteer at the Florida Strawberry Festival that starts next Thursday.
Sunday there will be a training at Church on the Rock. Several people will then be prepared to share the Gospel at events.
Please pray for all the volunteers that will be witnessing at the Strawberry Festival and other events.
Car Show is today, Wednesday is Flea Market and Thursday is Senior Servants as well as the Festival. That is just in our small area. There are other events taking place in Alabama and beyond.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13
