Growth

July 1, 2016

SOS Events display board at Daily Vacation Bible School, Bible Baptist Church in Appomattox, VA. Many children attended and several were saved.

SOS Events continues to grow. Display boards, tracts and other materials are used all over the USA and in several foreign countries. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and leadership.


1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Little Children

June 30, 2016

A young boy, William, 7 years old got saved at Daily Vacation Bible School recently. He was so excited and went home and told his little 3 year old brother, Isaac, that that he needed to give his heart to Jesus.

Isaac replied, “I will give my heart to Jesus someday but I need it right now.” (William and Isaac are the Curtis’ great grandsons)

Children, especially when very young, sometimes do not understand the terminology we use to present the Gospel. Just as a reminder to those of us who witness to make sure that the person we witness to understands how to be saved. 

The simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” is a wonderful way to witness to older children and adults but when talking with younger children we need to make sure they understand. Sometimes it is better to give a tract or witness to the parent and trust God to bring the child to Himself when the child is a little older. Always ask the Holy Spirit to direct you when witnessing.

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.

God’s Creation

June 24, 2016

Traveling through several different states in the car and having theopportunity to see how wonderful and diverse God’s creation is, makes me appreciate the beauty of His handiwork.
Florida has its beautiful sandy beaches, Tennessee with its many lakes and hills, Kentucky has wonderful grazing land for horses, Ohio with its quaint barns, and New York rural areas with its lush green mountains makes me realize how great God is. He made everything beautiful for us to enjoy. Sometimes we get so busy we forget to look around and take time to appreciate all that God has done for us. Today stop for just a minute and look around at the beauty. Maybe just a small thing like a flower, a butterfly or just watch bees collecting pollen. God is great in the big things He created but He is just as great in the small things.

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Fruitful Labour

June 16, 2016

In Florida, God blesses SOS Events every week with decisions to follow Jesus. This week at the Plant City Flea Market 3 teenagers and 2 adults were saved. 

Praise the Lord for the souls that are saved and for the faithful workers who sacrifice to be there every week. 


1 Corinthians 15:58 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.

A Special Find

June 14, 2016

“God Will Carry You Through” is the title of a book by Max Lucado. Not necessarily one of my favorite authors but I found this book on my bookshelf with a personal note from my husband, Tom Curtis, who went home to be with the Lord one month ago today. (This book sat on the shelf for 2 years and I never picked it up until today)

How special and wonderful is the Lord. The note said, “The Lord showed me this book. Read it before you write the blog. I love you. Tom

How perfect. The blessing is to know That God will carry me through and He will carry you through each problem and difficulty in life. The Bible has so many wonderful verses to help in every situation. All we have to do is trust Him and claim the promises in His Word.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Obedience 

June 5, 2016

Obedience is what God says, when He says, for whatever reason He says and where He says. We learn to obey God by trusting Him and waiting on Him in prayer. You cannot live an obedient life without the Bible.

Job 36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Great Week

June 3, 2016

This was a great week for SOS Events, sharing Christ in the Marketplace in Florida. Ten received Jesus at Webster Flea Market on Monday, Memorial Day, and five at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. God is faithful not willing that anyone should perish.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

SOS EVENTS FUTURE

May 21, 2016

1 Chronicles 4:10And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

The prayer of Jabez was granted by the Lord and God never changes. The Board of Directors of SOS EVENTS are trusting Him to bless the ministry,  with more souls, more missionaries, more soulwinners and enlarge the boarders of SOS EVENTS.

Tom Curtis will be missed but SOS EVENTS ministry was founded by the Holy Spirit to win people to the Lord and Tom’s desire is that those of us who work together in the ministry will not only continue but with the guidance af the Lord expand and be even more faithful an diligent to bring souls to Christ.

Pray with us for God’s blessing on SOS EVENTS.

Amazing Email

May 11, 2016

Tom, let me give you a report. You helped us train and instruct our people working the Lucas County Fair. We used your methodology, sign ideas, for 20 years, I kept track of yearly results, we always had a minimum of 200 pray to receive Christ each week of the fair. Our best years, which outnumbered the lowest one were between 500-600 souls per year. More people have prayed for salvation in that 100 foot square space than any other spot in Lucas County history. My estimate is at least 7,000 souls prayed in all the years there. I believe we were on Holy Ground! You helped us lay the foundation. Thank you, you will get an exact count in Heaven.
Often we do not know the results of our labor for the Lord but this email came to Tom Curtis from Russ, a Pastor in Ohio.

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

Happy Mothers Day 

May 8, 2016

May God bless all the Mothers who read this blog. God gave us a special high calling in life when he gave us children. Every Mother is a teacher, nurse, helper, example and many more things to her children. It is a great responsibility but also one of the greatest blessings a woman can have.

Our children reflect who we are. So Moms be the best you can be for them. The only way that we can be what our children need is through Jesus Christ. Follow Him and get instruction from the Bible that has much to say about rearing children. Then when they are adults thy will know they are blessed to have a Godly Mother.

Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
