Have A Blessed Weekend. Stay Safe!
June 12, 2026Children!
June 10, 2026
One of God’s greatest blessings is family. As I spend time with my family, especially my small great-grandchildren, I am reminded how precious each generation is. Their laughter, curiosity, and joy bring warmth to my heart and remind me of God’s goodness. Time passes quickly, and these moments are gifts that should be treasured.
The Bible tells us that children are not merely a responsibility—they are a heritage from the Lord. They are part of the legacy God allows us to leave behind. As grandparents and great-grandparents, we have the privilege of sharing our faith, our love, and the stories of God’s faithfulness with those who follow us.
Today I thank the Lord for family, for the blessing of watching new generations grow, and for the opportunity to point them toward Christ. May we never take these precious moments for granted.
The laughter of little children is one of God’s sweetest reminders that His blessings continue from generation to generation.
The Family
June 8, 2026
Family is one of God’s greatest blessings. Through family we experience love, encouragement, support, and shared memories. Whether it is parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, or dear friends who have become like family, these relationships enrich our lives and remind us that we were created for fellowship.
Yet as wonderful as our earthly families are, there is an even greater family to which every believer belongs—the family of God. When we trust Christ as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s family and become brothers and sisters in Christ. Earthly families are precious, but they are temporary. Our relationship with God and His family is eternal.
The family of God spans every nation, generation, and background. One day, all who know Christ will be gathered together in heaven, united forever in His presence. What a joyful reunion that will be! Until then, we should cherish our earthly families while also investing in our spiritual family, encouraging one another and pointing others to Jesus.

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;”— Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)
SOS Events Team From Germany!
June 5, 2026
Carolyn and Alice had the privilege of meeting with some of the SOS Team Members from Germany.
It was wonderful to see them again along with 2 new people.
God sent a godly pastor who offered to update the German “3 Things God CanNot Do“ and “ ABC’s of Salvation” card that they use instead of the regular tract.
What a blessing to have the Gospel spread in other countries along with the USA.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
I Have 2 Birthdays!
June 1, 2026
Today is my birthday, and I am thankful for every year that God has given me. Birthdays are special because they remind us of the gift of life. But as I reflect on this day, I am reminded of a birthday that is even more important than the day I was physically born.
In 1960, I experienced my “second birthday” when I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior and was born again. That decision changed not only my life on earth but also my eternity. Physical birth gave me life in this world, but spiritual birth gave me eternal life through Jesus Christ.
When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, He made it clear that being born again is not optional. He said:
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3 KJV)
Over the years, God has blessed me with family, friends, opportunities to serve, and the privilege of sharing the Gospel through SOS Events. There have been joys and sorrows, victories and challenges, but through it all, the Lord has remained faithful.
As Carolyn Curtis celebrates another birthday today, my greatest reason for rejoicing is not my age or the number of years behind me. It is the wonderful truth that in 1960 I became a child of God. That was the day my eternal life began.
If you know the date of your second birthday, thank God for it today. If you have never been born again, there is no better time than now to trust Christ as your Savior.
The best birthday anyone can celebrate is the day they were born into God’s family.
8 Decisions for Christ in Perrysburg, Ohio
May 30, 2026
Friday night was a wonderful evening at the Car Show in Perrysburg, Ohio, where Ed and Rhonda Fager faithfully represented SOS Events. God richly blessed the outreach as 8 people trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior.
One of the sweetest parts of the evening was seeing entire families stop by the SOS display. Young and old alike took time to hear the Gospel message and make decisions for Christ. What a joy it is to see generations being reached with the Good News!
Every salvation is a miracle, and we rejoice knowing that lives and eternal destinies were changed because volunteers were willing to serve and share the message of hope.
Please continue to pray for those who made decisions, that they will grow in their faith and become strong followers of Christ.
“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth…” — Luke 15:7
Memorial Day Weekend!
May 23, 2026
As we pause this Memorial Day weekend, we remember with deep gratitude those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and love for others remind us that freedom is never free.
We also honor our veterans who faithfully served and our active military who continue to stand watch, protecting and defending our nation. Their dedication, bravery, and willingness to serve deserve our respect and heartfelt thanks.
As we gather with family and friends this weekend, may we not forget the price that has been paid and the men and women who continue to serve.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
— John 15:13
Opportunities
May 20, 2026
I was privileged to speak to a wonderful ladies luncheon, for Stonecroft ministries.
My daughter Graceanne had a demonstration of colors before I spoke. The music was beautiful. Lisa Echols sing the song “No More Night”. At the end of my testimony I always give everyone an opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior. This is a monthly luncheon that takes place the 3rd Tuesday of every month.
If your church or group would like to have me speak, I do have some open dates on my calendar. Have car, (or plane) will travel.
Declare his glory among all people. Psalm 96:3
Exciting News For SOS Events!
May 19, 2026
We are thankful to share some exciting news—SOS Events now has a QR code for online giving!
For many years, faithful supporters have mailed checks to help keep this ministry going, and that is still a wonderful way to give. We are so grateful for every gift and every person who stands behind this ministry.
Now, with our new QR code, giving can be quicker and easier for those who prefer to give online—especially younger generations and those who like the convenience of using their phone or device. Our prayer is that this will make it easier for more people to partner with SOS Events as we continue sharing the Gospel and reaching souls for Christ.
Thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support. Every gift helps us continue the work God has called us to do.
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)
A Beautiful Partnership in Reaching Souls
May 18, 2026
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Source of Light Ministries, the ministry in Georgia that faithfully sends Bible studies to many of the people who make decisions for Christ through SOS Events Ministry.
While there, I met Carla, a missionary with Source of Light who helps process and send out the Bible studies connected with our ministry. She was so excited to meet us and to hear firsthand about the lives being touched through SOS Events.
What made the visit even more special was hearing this amazing testimony. Carla’s in-laws live in Perrysburg, Ohio, and their neighbor attended the Friday night car show where the SOS Events team ministers each week. Through that outreach, the neighbor trusted Christ as Savior!
Now, that same neighbor is continuing to grow in the Lord by studying the Bible lessons provided through Source of Light Ministries.
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”
— 1 Corinthians 3:6
