Frustration to Fruitfulness

May 10, 2016

Frustration!! Tom waiting, waiting and waiting for discharge from the hospital. A special doctor had to be called and he was not there. 

Previously Tom and Carolyn gave one of the nurses named Judy a copy of the booth they authored “101 Salvation Stories.” She was a special nurse who really cared for her patients. She stopped in to see Tom in the morning to tell him that she was halfway through the book already and intended to read the rest on her day off.

Time for a shift change in the evening and that doctor had still not come. Judy came into the room to say goodbye to Tom and Carolyn because she would not see them again after his discharge. She said, “I want to be one of your stories. Can you save me?”

We know it is Jesus who does the saving but Tom held her hand and prayed with her. She accepted Jesus and was so happy. What joy on the face of that young woman. “Now I am one of your stories,” she said.

She walked out of the room just as the doctor walked in. Miracles still happen and God’s timing is always right. We as Christian need to remember He has a plan and purpose and the Holy Spirit is never late.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Happy Mothers Day 

May 8, 2016

May God bless all the Mothers who read this blog. God gave us a special high calling in life when he gave us children. Every Mother is a teacher, nurse, helper, example and many more things to her children. It is a great responsibility but also one of the greatest blessings a woman can have.

Our children reflect who we are. So Moms be the best you can be for them. The only way that we can be what our children need is through Jesus Christ. Follow Him and get instruction from the Bible that has much to say about rearing children. Then when they are adults thy will know they are blessed to have a Godly Mother.

Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

God Answers Prayer

May 7, 2016

God answers prayer. Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry, is at home after a long hospital stay, 24 days. He still has some health issues and he would appreciate your prayers, but he wants to Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to answer prayers.

The Bible tells us to give thanks for everything. Illness, problems and circumstances beyond our control. God has a plan and purpose for our lives and He will bring it to pass. He loves us with a love that sometimes we cannot comprehend. He gives us victory in every situation.

Today take time to thank the Lord for the blessings He has given you.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Peace be Still

May 6, 2016

On Wednesday the sky was dark, thunder, lightning, wind, rain and threat of hail. Not a day that SOS Events could set up a booth at the Flea Market. Every other day this week has been beautiful, sunshine in Florida. Sometimes we wonder why God would let it storm on a day when souls could be saved but He is in control and we trust Him.

Life is like the weather, sometimes our days are full of sunshine and other times there are storms. We are quick to Praise Him in the good times but when the trials come, do we Praise Him then? 

Jesus is willing and able to still the storm in our lives just as He said to the sea, “Peace be still” and immediately the storm stopped. He is with us in the sunshine and He is with us in the storms. He will never leave us or forsake us, so yes, we do need to Praise Him in the storms of life.

If this is a time in your life that you are going through a storm allow the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to bring peace to your troubled heart. Remember, there is always sunshine after the rain.

Mark 4:39 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.

Your Salvation

May 5, 2016

A wonderful evangelist of the last century was John R. Rice. He was a great man of God, the founder of the Christian newspaper Sword of the Lord, song writer, author and soul winner. His wisdom which came from God and the Bible is reflected in the following quote.

“When you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor sinful state and your inability to save yourself.” —John R. Rice

Ephesians 2:8 & 9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

SOS Events Expanding

May 4, 2016

In an email from Patty, one of SOS Events faithful missionaries, came the following opportunities:

Found out yesterday that we will get to train our Hispanic ministry on Sos this Sunday and that my family has the opportunity to take SOS to the South American town of Leticia along the banks of the Amazon to the natives in villages there the end of July. Praying about all of this and will keep you posted!

Praise the Lord for the expansion of SOS Events in the USA and around the world.

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

Salvations and Baptisms

May 2, 2016


43 decisions for Christ at the Talladega Racetrack this weekend. Praise the Lord. People need the Lord where ever a crowd gathers and God blesses SOS Events with souls when our faithful team members set up a booth. At this event there was an inflated pool and some new believers were baptized immediately after salvation. Praise the Lord.

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

God is Great

May 1, 2016

One of the great hymns that honors God as the great Creator and His great power is “How Great Thou Art”

Psalms 86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Verse #1

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, 

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; 

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus:

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art! 
Verse #2

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, 

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Chorus:

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art! 
Verse #3

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; 

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; 

That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing, 

He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus:

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art! 
Verse #4

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, 

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, 

And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Chorus:

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, 

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
