Strawberry Festival, Albion, NY 16 Saved

June 10, 2023
Doug at Strawberry Festival in Albion, NY

Sometimes SOS Events has many volunteers and the Teams are large. There are places that the teams are very small. In New York the team consists of one man, Joe. Joe is faithful and he has been with SOS Events for many years.

Sometimes he does have a few volunteers to help and Doug, who volunteers in NY and Florida, drove many miles to be with Joe at the Strawberry Festival in Albion, NY. God mightily blessed yesterday with 16 people trusting Jesus as their Savior.

God always blesses our faithfulness and obedience to GO and tell others about Jesus. Please pray that others in New York State will get a burden for people who are lost. Pray for more SOS Events Leaders and volunteers.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Curwood Festival in Michigan

June 9, 2023
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

June 1st to the 4th the Curwood Festival in Owosso, Michigan took place. The SOS Events Team was there excited to see what God would do.

The event was a great success. 26 people invited Jesus to be their Savior. God also blessed Team Leaders Larry and Loraine with new Team volunteers.

God is so faithful. He always blesses SOS Events Ministry with events in areas all over the eastern and southern USA. The ministry is growing with new areas and especially with new volunteers.

Twelve People Saved At AL Flea Market

June 8, 2023

Another amazing day under the SOS Events Ministry tent at Santuck Flea Market! In Alabama.

Sometimes we just stand in awe at how the Holy Spirit moves as we Serve Our Savior at these events. Mom’s and daughters, husbands and wives , life long friends and hurting hearts searching for the only true peace they will ever find.

There were 12 people that surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and walked out of darkness into Glorious light. We were able to love on and encourage so many today and also received encouragement and a good word ourselves.

We also have a special request for prayer for a young lady that gave her life to Jesus today but is battling a heartbreaking addiction that touched all of our hearts with her plea to get away from this lifestyle. We know God can meet her need !!

To God be the Glory for these precious souls saved !!

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:36

What a great weekend it was for SOS Events Ministry. Several events took place in different locations.

In Ohio, on Friday evening, Ed and Rhonda Fager had the first Car Show of the Season. God blessed with 6 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior.

Thankful for 85 Wonderful Years

June 5, 2023
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalms 103:2-5

Very seldom is something personal written about on this website but today my heart is so full of thanksgiving to God for giving me 85 years of a wonderful life.

I am thankful for my salvation. The opportunity to serve Jesus for 65 of those years. Especially, SOS Events Ministry for the last 21 years.

I am thankful for my wonderful family that has grown from just me, an only child to over 100 immediate family. That includes children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 2 great, great grandchildren. This family always grows every year by adding new spouses and children.

I am so thankful for the many friends, some I have known for years and others are new.

Good health, home and most of all the promise of Heaven which gets closer for me every year.

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. My heart overflows with gratitude. Carolyn Slater Curtis, Cofounder of SOS Events Ministry

Pray For Your Pastor Today!

June 4, 2023

God gave us the Pastor of our church to help us get through hard times. The Pastor officiates at our wedding, celebrates the birth of our children, prays with us in sickness and sorrows, and at the death of a loved one.

All the time having the same problems we have in his own family. He needs our prayers. Take a few minutes and pray for him today.

Pray he will have power of the Holy Spirit to preach the truth. Pray he will not be distracted by people or circumstances. Pray God will comfort him as he has the burden of his own but also takes the burdens of his whole congregation.

Most of all do not have roast preacher for lunch. Do not talk negatively about him or his family. Let us love our Pastor and show him our appreciation.

A Cure For Shot Nerves

June 3, 2023

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.

It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.

Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.

Have a Blessed Friday and Wonderful Weekend!

A New Year!

June 1, 2023

SOS Events Ministry begins a new year today. SOS Events was begun 22 years ago. The official year begins June first.

God has been faithful. Over 80,000 people saved who are now on their way to Heaven when they die.

Hundreds Teams of volunteers in many of the USA States and growing. Faithful supporters, some who have supported the ministry even before it came into reality.

Pastors who love the ministry and encourage their congregation to be volunteers with SOS Events and support with mush needed funds.

A great office staff who give of their time and energy and go above and beyond everyday to make everything work smoothly.

That is just a few of the many blessings of how God has blessed SOS Events Ministry.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the ministry.

Please pray that God will continue to bless as the New Year begins for SOS Events Ministry.
