What a Friend We Have in Jesus

August 11, 2015

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful 

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you

You will find a solace there.
Blessèd Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright unclouded
There will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
This hymn was written by Joseph M. Scriven for his mother who was far away from him in Ireland. Written in 1855 this hymn still brings comfort and peace to many.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Growing Spanish Ministry

August 10, 2015

SOS EVENTS is constantly working to improve and expand. The response to the new website has been great and now we are planning to put the “3 Things God Can Not Do”, the “ABC’s” of salvation and the Bible studies on the website in Spanish.

It will take a little more time as no one in the office speaks or reads Spanish but we are working on translation now.

Also, we have had many requests for Spanish Bibles and we will be ordering more today as all of the Bibles we had have been given away.

Please pray for the growing Spanish ministry of SOS Events. Over fifty Hispanic people are saved every week through this ministry. If you would like to donate for some Spanish Bibles or the additional cost of adding to the website click on donate in the right hand column and it will take you to the contact page. On the left click on the donate button and that will take you to our PayPal page. SOS Events legal name is Event Evangelism, Inc which you will see at the top of page. Thank you in advance for your contribution. One Bible costs approximately five dollars so any amount will be helpful.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

God’s Forgiveness

August 9, 2015

Forgiveness is based on the atoning work of the Cross, and not on anything we do. God’s forgiveness does not depend on our confession, nor does His fellowship. Confession is a means for releasing us from the tension and bondage of a guilty conscience.”Dr. Charles Stanley

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Salvation Blessing

August 7, 2015

This week SOS Events had a special blessing. One of the Bible tracts that have the “3 Things God Can Not Do” was sent to the office from a woman who got saved reading it.

On the back of the tract is a little box for a person to make a check mark and beside the box it says I promise God to read this.  When a person is too busy to talk or is not ready to receive Christ many times when witnessing one of our workers will say, “Will you promise God you will read this? Check the box.”

When this particular tract came to the office the box was checked and the date of salvation was filled in. Which is another space on the tract. When that space is filled out SOS Events sends Bible studies, some helpful information to start that person on her new life.

What a joy to know that just handing a person a Bible tract will result in salvation. Tracts work. Do you hand out tracts?  It is so easy to smile at someone and say, “I have something I would like to give you.” Hand them the tract and be on your way.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

SON Shine

August 6, 2015

Twenty-five souls saved on Wednesday at the Plant City Flea Market. A wonderful harvest of souls after 2 weeks  that SOS Events could not go because of heavy rain. Praise the Lord for the sunshine as well as the SON shine.

There were also 2 new Spanish workers. Praise the Lord.

1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

Reputation and Character 

August 5, 2015

Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and wife know about you.

Billy Sunday

Proverbs 22:1​ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Do You Have an Idol?

August 4, 2015

An idol is anything you put before God. Whatever you love more, serve more, fear more or trust more is an idol. Search your heart and put God first if there is anything in your life more important than Him.

Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Witnessing Blessings

August 3, 2015

It is always a joy when Pastor Romero stops by to get more supplies from SOS. His team does a wonderful job witnessing at the flea market. Recently he stopped in for more tracts but he did not come empty-handed. He brought 87 decision cards with him.

His church is growing mostly because his people are faithful every week to witness at the flea market. Many of this Spanish congregation does not have transportation and his church is in need of a small bus or passenger van to bring the people to church on Sundays. Pray with us that the Lord will provide this need.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

JESUS Calms the Storm

August 2, 2015

JESUS is the answer to all the storms in our lives. He will calm the most fearful storm if we have faith and trust in Him.

Mark 4:37-40 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
