Blessings in Tennessee 

August 11, 2016

Carolyn Curtis traveled to Tennessee yesterday to train new soul winners, oversee an event and speak to the wonderful people at Bible  Baptist Church in Hendersonville. The Pastor and people were great and welcoming and many came to tell Carolyn they were inspired to win souls, be witnesses for the Lord and will pray for SOS Events. 

Tomorrow there is a training Spring Hill, TN and Saturday a “churchyard” event. Please pray that many will come to know Jesus and that Christians will be encouraged to witness for the Lord.

What a privilege and joy to be on the road traveling and Serving Our Savior. God has blessed the ministry and especially given opportunity to Carolyn to be an encouragement to others and expand SOS Events into a new area of Tennessee on Saturday in Spring Hill.

Psalms 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Humble and Committed

August 10, 2016

Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry,  kept a daily journal with prayer requests and his thoughts about family, friends and Christian living. These journals are a blessing as we now have in his own handwriting his prayers and goals for the ministry.

In a journal from the year 2000, before SOS Events was founded, there were two words he used to describe a successful Christian, especially a soul winner. They must be humble and committed. Traits that he displayed in his own life. 

Let us take a lesson from a man who loved the Lord with all his heart and not only wrote encouraging words but lived them daily.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Fishers of Men

August 9, 2016

SOS Events main goal is winning people to the Lord and we always rejoice when souls get saved at events. There is another blessing that causes excitment and joy. When Christians who have never won anyone to the Lord or have not had witnessing as a priority in their lives come to SOS Events to be trained and go to an event, they see how God blesses their effort and people get saved.

There is an old quotation: “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime.”

That is so true when soul winning. As individuals each team member can witness but when we teach others to be witnesses the training lasts them for a lifetime and more people will have the opportunity to be saved.

Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Back to School Event

August 8, 2016

Praise the Lord for the 22 people who made decisions for Christ at the Back to School event in Dade City, Florida on Saturday. Families attended this event together.  This event is to benefit children, however, parents are with them and it is a great opportunity for SOS Events to present the gospel to  people of all ages.

(Pictured below are SOS Events team members waiting for people to come to the booth to hear the gospel)

How to please God

August 6, 2016

If  you are not winning souls you are displeasing God. You are either a soul winner or you are backslider

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

South American Trip

Over 25 salvations, 500 tracts handed out, many jungle pastors equipped with mini-boards and tracts and many interventions and appointments by God
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Typical Day

August 3, 2016


This is a typical day at the flea market in Plant City, Florida in the summer when school is out. Many families with children, however, school is beginning so the children will not be with their parents. Sometimes this is an advantage and sometime not, but whatever the crowd God always brings people to the SOS Events booth to hear the gospel and be saved.

Pray for continued success on Wednesdays at this marketplace.

Acts 14:7 And there they preached the gospel.

Forgiveness

August 2, 2016

“Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.” Corrie ten Boom

Jesus said, Matthew 6:14-15. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
