Answered Prayer Plus

November 20, 2015

I needed a glass insert for my microwave as it had gotten broken. Guests are coming and it was needed right away. No time to order one from the manufacturing company. What to do? Pray and ask for wisdom to find one.

Lighthouse, a local thrift store, came to mind when I prayed. When I entered the store, the first thing I saw was Tom, one of SOS Events workers, with a 3 Things God Can Not Do display board witnessing to people. He was talking and I did not want to interrupt so I asked a store worker for help to find my insert. There was only one in the store and she pointed it out to me. These inserts are hard to find and sell out immediately she told me.

Now Tom was not busy so I stopped to talk to him. Noticing that his display board could use some repair, I went to the car for a replacement that we had in the trunk for another event but had not needed. When I returned with the new display, Tom was talking to a lady who was interested in SOS Events. We exchanged information and a new opportunity for SOS Events to go to a children’s home where the woman worked, to speak and teach young people about Jesus.

An appointed time. Had I not listened to that still small voice and gone to Lighthouse I would have missed a great opportunity for SOS Events.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Today’s Teens

November 19, 2015

When some teenagers are in the news for bad behavior there are many who love the Lord and faithfully serve Him. These three young girls, Julianna, Beka and Hailey come after school a few days a week to work in the SOS office and they are a great blessing to the ministry.

Julianna is the most recent office worker. She is a college student attending school close to the home office. She is learning how to record the decisions and get the information into the computer so the new converts will get Bible studies. She will also be doing many other tasks like working on the various printing machines to get supplies ready for SOS displays and events.

Beka has been working in the office since she was in 8th grade and has been a great assistant to Diana, our Office Manager. She is a senior in high school and will be off to college next year so she is now training the other girls to do what she usually does. Beka is a soul winner also. She works at some events like the Strawberry Festival every year. She has also helped with a few trainings.

Hailey attends school with Beka. She is also a new worker with SOS Events. Her job is to work on whatever is needed to supply materials for the ministry. Bagging tracts, cutting decision slips, laminating materials for soul winning and other things that help to keep things running smoothly in a busy growing ministry.

Keep these girls in your prayers. They live at a time in their lives where they are making decisions that will determine their future and trials and temptations are ever present in this world. The staff at SOS Events are blessed to have them and privileged to teach them skills and give them experience that will be useful to them in the future.

1 Timothy 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

  

Weep for Your Country

November 18, 2015

“Our country’s in great need of a spiritual awakening. There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.” Billy Graham

It is time Christians look around and weep and pray for their country. There are many people from countries other than America who read this blog, and at SOS Events we are thankful for each one who takes the time to read and follow. Today we did not limit the burden for the USA only but for every nation in the world. 

Christian, the best thing you can do for your country is to pray and tell everyone you can about Jesus and His love. We can make a change in lives, one soul at a time.

Luke 19:41  And when he (Jesus) was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Sharing the Gospel

November 17, 2015

  
In this picture Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events, is witnessing to his home health care nurse. He is holding the small ” 3 Things God Can Not Do” display board.

Tom is recovering from surgery but never misses an opportunity to share the gospel. If every Christian would be even half as dedicated to telling others as Tom, many more souls would come to know the Lord.

Romans 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

I Love to Tell the Story

November 16, 2015

     A young girl, Katherine Hankey, who devoted her life to Sunday school work fell seriously ill at age 30.
       During her convalescence, in the year 1866, she wrote a long poem which contains the words of this hymn:

I Love to Tell the Story

(1) I love to tell the story Of unseen things above,

Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love;

I love to tell the story- Because I know ’tis true,

It satisfies my longings As nothing else can do.

CHORUS:

I love to tell the story!

Twill be my theme in glory-

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and His love.

(2) I love to tell the story- More wonderful it seems

Than all the golden fancies Of all our golden dreams;

I love to tell the story- It did so much for me,

And that is just the reason- I tell it now to Thee.

(3) I love to tell the story- ‘Tis pleasant to repeat

What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet;

I love to tell the story- For some have never heard

The message of salavtion From God’s own holy word.

(4) I love to tell the story- For those who know it best

Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it like the rest;

And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song,
‘Twill be the old, old story That I have loved so long.”

Every Christian should love to tell about Jesus. That is the reason SOS Events ministry was founded. To tell others how to be saved and to teach Christians how to tell in a simple non confrontational way.

Acts 11:14  Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Little Children

November 14, 2015

Matthew 19:13
 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.Matthew 19:14  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

SOS Events has many events where children make decisions for Christ. One of the testimonies from a 7 year old little girl, written on the back of her decision card:

“I asked Jesus to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins.”

Children many times understand and accept Jesus because they have unwavering faith.

Christian Humor

November 13, 2015

A little Christian humor to lift you spirit and cause a smile. 

A kindergarten teacher was walking around observing her classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.      The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.”

      The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.”

      Without looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”

John 14:9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Volunteers for Christ

November 12, 2015

God uses people in our lives to bring blessings. This week a godly couple came over to help with things that needed doing on the property. John and Sondra worked for several hours cleaning out a flower garden that had been overgrown and looked unkempt. This couple is not young but in their early 80’s. They also work at events witnessing for the Lord.

We are also thankful to David who volunteers every week to see that SOS property is maintained. 

2 Thessalonians 1:3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

  

390 Decisions for Christ

November 11, 2015

SOS Events team in Alabama once again did a terrific job witnessing and winning souls using the “3 Things God Can Not Do” at an event.

Patty Mills, team leader, wrote:
We are praising God for the 390 decisions for Christ made at the Alabama National Fair over 10 days – Oct. 30 through Nov. 8. Without the prayers and the Holy Spirit going before us, using us and going after us, none of it would have been possible.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
