Mountain Top Flea Market

April 8, 2026

Recently, another successful day at the Mountain Top Flea Market in Attalla, Alabama. This SOS Events team, led by Ronnie Burlison, had 13 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior.

What a powerful reminder of this verse—faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Each conversation, each Gospel presentation, and each willing worker sharing the truth makes an eternal difference.

Those 13 decisions didn’t happen by accident. It happened because someone was willing to speak, and someone was willing to listen. God’s Word still works today just as it always has.

May we never underestimate the power of simply sharing the Gospel. You never know who is ready to hear—and believe.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

SOS Events Theme for Annual Celebration!

March 28, 2026

“They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” — Daniel 12:3 (KJV)

There’s something powerful about a light in the darkness. You don’t need a stadium full of lights to make a difference—just one shining light can be seen from far away. That’s what God calls each of us to be.

When we serve, when we speak a kind word, when we share the Gospel, we are shining for Jesus. It may seem small in the moment, but heaven sees it differently. Every act of faithfulness, every soul pointed toward righteousness, becomes a light that will never fade.

Our “Shining Bright for Jesus” theme isn’t just a slogan—it’s a calling. Whether at an event, in a conversation, or in quiet service behind the scenes, we are reflecting His light to a world that needs it.

Let’s not dim that light. Let’s shine boldly, joyfully, and consistently—because one day, those lights will shine like the stars forever.

Plant City Car Show 2007-2026

March 23, 2026

2007

God has burdened several people to win souls at the once a month car show in Plant City. In February, 10 people came to a SOS training, and three days later had a place reserved at the car show. The night was very cold for Florida and very few people attended the show.

However, God is faithful and we saw 2 young people come to know the Lord at that event. The young lady has already been connected to a church in the neighboring town where she lives and has expressed a desire to join the choir.

The young man and several of his friends, who encouraged him to come over and hear the gospel, is interested in participating in SOS events in the future.

This was article that was posted on the blog in April, 2007. What is interesting is that SOS Events had no car, just faithful volunteers and a tent.

The great news is that SOS Events is still going strong at the Car Show in Plant City. Saturday, there were 5 decisions to accept the LORD as Savior.

SOS Events now has a car to display at car shows. What a great blessing.

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

Praying Together!

March 15, 2026

Praying together is a great blessing! God is there. He answers all prayers, if you pray alone or with someone else.

But, from this verse we see that He especially is with us when we have another person with us. Agreeing together for our needs and the needs of others.

What a tremendous blessing. If you do not have a prayer partner or group, find someone that will pray with you regularly.

God blessed SOS Events with 238 Decisions!

March 9, 2026

Florida Strawberry Festival has ended for another great year. God blessed the SOS Team with 238 salvations.

Praise the LORD for these new Christians. Praying for each of them. The Bible tells us they are like new babies. They need to be fed, cared for and grow.

They will receive Bible studies but they need more than that. A good Bible preaching church and mature Christians to guide them.

Praying God will direct them to the right place where they will be fed.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2

Strawberry Festival

February 28, 2026

Today is the third day of the strawberry festival in Plant city Florida. You could be sitting in Doug’s seat winning someone to the Lord.

There are still a few shifts open and we need trained volunteers to fill them.

If you live in the area and have been trained, don’t miss out on your opportunity.

God Answers Before We Pray!

February 27, 2026

Isn’t it comforting to know that God is already working before we even form the words?

Sometimes we carry burdens quietly. We think through the problem, we rehearse the prayer in our mind, and before we ever say “Lord, help,” He is already moving. This verse reminds me that our Heavenly Father is attentive. He is not distant. He is not distracted. He is listening — even to the unspoken cries of our heart.

There have been many times in my life when the answer showed up before I realized I had truly prayed about it. That’s just how good God is. He knows the need. He sees the concern. And He lovingly responds.

Today, whatever is on your heart, be encouraged. You are not trying to get God’s attention — you already have it.

Trust Him. He hears you.

Regular Events

February 19, 2026

SOS Events has some regularly scheduled events that take place all year.

One of them is the Plant City Flea Market that takes place every Wednesday.

These events help SOS Events to be active all year and in all weather. Florida and Alabama have these events. Other States are not so fortunate because of weather. The Northern and Midwest States cannot have events as the weather is just too cold.

Yesterday, 5 people trusted Jesus as their Savior at the weekly Flea Market. Praise the Lord for the new Christians and for the faithful volunteers who worked the booth yesterday.

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.” Psalms 113:1
