Christian Life

October 11, 2017

How do you keep going for the Lord after many years? This question was asked Carolyn Curtis (co-founder of SOS Events Ministry) at a Missions Conference recently. Her answer, “Guidance of the Holy Spirit, daily Bible reading and prayer and Godly habits,” we cannot be consistent in the Christian life without all three. 

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Heaven, Our Permanent Home

October 10, 2017

Walking into my home after a week away was so wonderful. “Home is were the heart is” is an old saying but true. However, as a Christian we should be looking for our permanent home, Heaven. There we will see our wonderful Savior, Jesus. We will be with our loved ones who have gone on before. Also, we will meet the people that we have had the privilege of leading to the Lord. Or will we go in empty handed with no one because we failed to witness to our family, friends or neighbors? Will the Lord say to us, “Well done thou good and faithful servant”? Let us get busy and tell as many people as possible about this beautiful place that we will be going to when the Lord calls us home.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Go and Tell

October 9, 2017

In church yesterday the invitation song was “People Need the Lord” written by Steve Green. The words are beautiful and the message is clear. Why are we as Christians sitting by doing nothing when people all around us are lost without Jesus? Your friend or neighbor might be smiling on the outside and hurting on the inside just waiting for someone to give them the answer for their heartache. We have the answer, faith in Jesus. Jesus gave us a commandment, go and tell.

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

Ham Festival 

October 8, 2017

Pat with some children who made decisions at the Ham Festival in Tennessee yesterday. The children are filling out decision cards and will receive Bible studies through the mail. Also, the local church will follow up with them and what an opportunity to bring whole families into the church. (We always get parents permission to talk to the children)


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.

Gospel to the World

October 7, 2017

Carolyn Curtis is at a Missions Conference in Indiana where she met a young missionary couple who minister in the Congo. On their travels through Zambia they were at an event and saw the “3 Things God Can Not Do” display Board. People are using this simple way to present the gospel not only in America but all over the world. What a great encouragement to SOS Events. God is blessing as the ministry continues to expand.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Jesus is Waiting

October 6, 2017

Jesus only goes where He is invited and, He only stays where He is welcome. Have you invited Him to come in? He is waiting for your invitation.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Answered Prayer

October 5, 2017

Praise the Lord for answered prayer. 21 Salvations yesterday at the Plant City Flea Market. Those of you who prayed with us for many Salvations, thank you. Bible studies will be sent to the new Christians as soon as possible. 

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Prayer Requests

October 4, 2017

This is SOS Events busiest time of year and we need your prayers. Today the Plant City, Florida Flea Market, where volunteers are busy soul winning. This weekend there are Events in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana. Please pray for the workers and new trainees as they witness to win souls. Pray for Holy Spirit filling for each of them. Pray for travel as many go miles from their homes to win people to Christ. Also, pray for the attendees that they will be saved. The Results will be posted next week.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

SOS Tracts

October 3, 2017

The woman on the phone ask for SOS Events tracts to be sent to her. This was not an unusual request except she was not someone that was on our mailing list, worker or volunteer.  When asked where she got the tract she replied that she did not know. Maybe she picked it up at a restaurant or event, she did not remember but she loved the simplicity and clarity of the gospel on the tract. We sent her tracts the next day and hope that she will want become a team member as she lives in Orlando, Florida where there are multiple opportunities for soul winning.

Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

It Takes Time

October 2, 2017

Sometimes we get discouraged, thinking that what we do for the Lord has not been successful. Handing out tracts, teaching a class, witnessing and we think nothing happens. Sometimes it takes a long time before we see the results of our labors. Last week we got a call from a man in Kentucky. He had been trained a year ago as a trainer with SOS Events. He had a display board, tracts and all the material necessary to get into an event, but we did not hear from him. But, after a year, he decided to get busy and start doing events. This first event is October 8 and he hopes to have several more during this autumn season. This example is repeated many times in SOS Events ministry. Sometimes it’s even years before people decide to use what they have been taught.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
