Honor Police Officers 

June 10, 2015

Yesterday, Tom got stopped by a policeman. We wondered what we were doing wrong. We were not speeding, we were obeying all the traffic rules we thought. He told us to pull over and stop and we obeyed.

Thinking he would give us a ticket for something, we were concerned, however, he came up and said, ” Sir, do you know you have no taillights?”

We did not know. He checked Tom’s license and said, “Go and get them fixed.”

We immediately went to Pep Boys and the lights were fixed right away.

The point in telling this story is to say that we appreciate our police officers. In a time that some people are causing riots because policemen are doing their jobs, we law abiding citizens need to stand up for our policemen.

We did not get the officer’s name but thank him for helping us to maybe avoid an accident.

1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

God is Faithful

June 9, 2015

As the ministry of SOS Events grows the blessings overflow and at the same time the burdens of the staff, volunteers, trainers and event workers seem to be increased also.

Many of our workers and volunteers are over retirement age and along with that comes the problems that is part of the aging process. Some have physical problems, illness and a few have financial concerns.

The younger generation has the challenge of trying to coordinate family, job, church and  working events for SOS Events.

The blessing to all is the faithfulness of our Savior the Lord Jesus, who never leaves or forsakes us and walks with us through trials. He also promised us wisdom and guidance when we follow Him. The blessings to all who are with SOS Events far outweigh all of our burdens. When we witness and see a lost soul come to trust Christ as Savior, see lives changed it is worth every hardship that comes our way.

So today when you pray please add the workers of SOS Events to your list. God knows each of us who has needs  and you will be blessed when you see the results published to answered prayers.

1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Good Report

June 8, 2015

“Well, things have slowed down a bit as it has gotten warmer. Less traffic at the store and less traffic at the flea market. But still sharing the Gospel and God is honoring the commitment and sending lost souls to hear.

Good news is that the increased focus on Evangelism has brought out several people from the Church and I’m hoping for more of course and praying for more.

Each week the Pastor mentions the successes we are having and He is starting another opportunity for people to share the Gospel at abortion clinics as well. I’m still looking for people to work at the Lighthouse Stores, and that has been slow going.”

Tom Floyd

SOS Events receives reports from workers like this one from Tom Floyd who has been using SOS display board and materials at Light House Ministries store for about 3 years. Many decisions for Christ have been reported through this opportunity. 

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

God Directs

June 7, 2015

SOS Events ministry purchased a concession trailer a few years ago but never had the opportunity to use it as our schedule has been so busy.

Our Spanish Pastor Romero saw it and wanted it for his ministry. Every week his group goes to the Flea Market to win souls and this trailer will be a great asset to them.

They win more souls to the Lord in one week than 20 churches combined. Praise the Lord this trailer will now be used as was the intention several years ago. God truly directs the path of believers. It is a great blessing for SOS Events to partner with this soul winning church.

Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,  and he shall direct thy paths.

Opportunities

June 6, 2015

Leslie, a home health nurse, came to the Curtis house to change the bandages on Tom’s ankle. As with all the others who have come she heard the gospel and she gladly accepted JESUS as her Saviour. 

What an opportunity Tom has had to witness everyday to a different person. We are so thankful that his wound is healing and hopefully he will be able to get back to his regular activities soon. In the meantime he will take advantage of all the opportunities that God gives him to tell others about the Lord.

Please continue to pray for his complete healing and also for the five people who have been saved though this trial.

Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Everyday is an Event

June 3, 2015

“Everyday you get up is an event.” This quote is from Tom Curtis.

SOS Events ministry is always looking for events to have the opportunity to set up a booth to witness. However, sometimes there may not be a organized gathering to go to. Should we as Christians just sit back and not witness? NO!!

Everyday, anywhere and everyone God puts in your path is an opportunity to witness. The grocery store, at an appointment, waiting in line to purchase something, a waitress when you go out to eat, a telephone conversation, saleman, or someone who comes to you door. All these are opportunities to witness.

Always carry Bible tracts in your pocket or purse. There is no excuse for a child of God not to tell others when God tells us in His Word to be witnesses. Also, depend upon the Holy Spirit to give you power and boldness. Then ask Him to lead you to a person who is ready to recieve JESUS.

All the examples that have been given of places to witness, there has actually been someone saved by a staff member or volunteer of SOS.

If you are fearful, inexperienced or need to know how to be a better witness contact SOS Events and someone on our staff will be happy to help you.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Changed Lives

June 2, 2015

Seven years ago Tom and Carolyn Curtis had the privilege of teaching a Bible class at Hendersonville Christian Academy in Tennessee. On that day two students from China received JESUS as their Savior. A young lady whose name is Stephanie and the young man was James.

Today, Stephanie is completing her education with a master degree at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. 

James, in the photo with Mr. William Slater, Head Master of Hendersonville Christian Academy, now works at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

What a blessing to have a part it changing lives of young people here in the USA and all over the world. The Bible tells us to go into all the world and preach the gospel but sometimes the Lord give us opportunity and sends people from other countries to to us through SOS Events Ministry.

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

Four Saved in Columbus

June 1, 2015

Randy and Romona Thomas traveled to Ohio to work with a church at the “churchyard event” this past weekend. Four adults were saved and one of the couples are pictured below. SOS Events is blessed to have people willing to go wherever God leads them to win souls to Christ.

“Brandon and Amanda came to Christ, along with another couple, at Turning Point Church’s outreach event on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.

It’s past time for our churches to reach out to their communities with the gospel! Be sure to tell others where ever you go.”

Randy Thomas

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
