Today’s Teens

November 19, 2015

When some teenagers are in the news for bad behavior there are many who love the Lord and faithfully serve Him. These three young girls, Julianna, Beka and Hailey come after school a few days a week to work in the SOS office and they are a great blessing to the ministry.

Julianna is the most recent office worker. She is a college student attending school close to the home office. She is learning how to record the decisions and get the information into the computer so the new converts will get Bible studies. She will also be doing many other tasks like working on the various printing machines to get supplies ready for SOS displays and events.

Beka has been working in the office since she was in 8th grade and has been a great assistant to Diana, our Office Manager. She is a senior in high school and will be off to college next year so she is now training the other girls to do what she usually does. Beka is a soul winner also. She works at some events like the Strawberry Festival every year. She has also helped with a few trainings.

Hailey attends school with Beka. She is also a new worker with SOS Events. Her job is to work on whatever is needed to supply materials for the ministry. Bagging tracts, cutting decision slips, laminating materials for soul winning and other things that help to keep things running smoothly in a busy growing ministry.

Keep these girls in your prayers. They live at a time in their lives where they are making decisions that will determine their future and trials and temptations are ever present in this world. The staff at SOS Events are blessed to have them and privileged to teach them skills and give them experience that will be useful to them in the future.

1 Timothy 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

  

Volunteers for Christ

November 12, 2015

God uses people in our lives to bring blessings. This week a godly couple came over to help with things that needed doing on the property. John and Sondra worked for several hours cleaning out a flower garden that had been overgrown and looked unkempt. This couple is not young but in their early 80’s. They also work at events witnessing for the Lord.

We are also thankful to David who volunteers every week to see that SOS property is maintained. 

2 Thessalonians 1:3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

  

Endorsement

November 10, 2015

Testimony received from Alabama recently. What a great endorsement for SOS events and Praise the Lord for the souls saved.

 My name is Carey Waldrop. I am a former pastor. I am currently the chapter director for our Faith Riders ministry @ Mineral Springs Baptist Church. I was recently introduced to SOS. I was trained & also received training to be a trainer. I have already trained several of our faith rider members. I said all that to say this; we had an opportunity to use the sos method last Wednesday. We were invited to another church Enon Baptist to have a trunk or treat on our bikes, which we did. We also decided to bring along our sos board and share the gospel. Not only did our newly trained guys step up to the plate & put what they had learned into practice, but were excited to see immediate results with 12 souls coming to Christ. Thanks for a very simple way to not only share the gospel ( over the years I have used several) simple & easy to train others. In his service. 
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise

Fellowship

November 9, 2015

Pastor Romero and his wife, Maria stopped by Saturday to get supplies and turn in 79 decisions slips from the Flea Market in Lakeland, Fl.

It is always a joy to see them and fellowship. Maria speaks no English and we speak no Spanish but somehow the love of Jesus shines through and we communicate. When the pastor prays in Spanish, we know through the Holy Spirit that his prayers for us and the ministry reach the Father in Heaven.

Join with us in prayer for the Romeros and their church. He told us that the church has tripled in size since they have been witnessing at the flea market.

1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Great Harvest

November 1, 2015

Reports from Halloween Events are coming into the SOS Events home office. We will list a few as there are still several events to report in on Monday. The events have different names but they all were Halloween related. All events were in Florida except the one in Alabama.

New Home Baptist 24 decisions, Turkey Creek 14 decisions, Lebanon 16, Avon Park 27.

Diana, SOS Events office manager has a SOS Events booth set up in her yard for Trick or Treat. 22 salvations were reported.

Eastmont in Alabama had 45 decisions at their Trunk or Treat. That brings the total to 148 decisions and more reports will be in by tomorrow. Praise the Lord for all the decisions made. Pray for the all the new converts that they will grow and learn more about their new life in Christ.

The picture is a SOS volunteer with Jacob, 10 years old, at the Eastmont event.

Blessed Reunion

October 11, 2015

When a family gets together, particularly after a long separation, it is a great blessing. Every family member is different but brought together with a bond of love.

If reunions are a blessing here, think of the wonderful day we will all be together in Heaven. Not only with our earthly family (if they are saved) but with our Chistian brothers and sisters from all walks of life, different denominations and ethnic groups. “What a day of rejoicing that will be.”

Ephesians 1:3-6: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

SOS Events Blessings

October 8, 2015

Ten new souls added to The Kingdom of Heaven yesterday at the Plant City, Fl Flea Market. What a great blessing.

Last evening Diana and Tony Guliano, along with Alice Thomas had a training at a local Church and 20 people attended. Another blessing as more laborers have been added to God’s harvest field.

Many events take place in the busy fall season and there is always room for more workers. Today several volunteers will meet at the SOS Events home office to get materials ready for the upcoming events. The rewards for work done will be received when they get to heaven.

Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, 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.

Prayers Answered 

September 30, 2015

On Tuesdays the office staff of SOS Events has a short meeting to discuss the needs of the ministry and the personal prayer requests of the staff and others who may have called or emailed a prayer requests.

Yesterday, God answered two prayers within 3 hours of that meeting. Diana, our office manager, was concerned about her daughter Dana who has a busy schedule. Dana is in nursing school and has some tests scheduled for today and tomorrow. The concern was that the house Dana and her husband purchased did not close last week when it was scheduled and the closing kept getting changed. It seemed like it was going to interfere with Dana’s tests. Within two hours of the prayers in God’s perfect timing Dana called and the closing was before the day was out. Also, there were no classes yesterday. Perfect timing.

Tom, founder of SOS Events, has been praying for more opportunities to teach evangelism to students of all ages. The prayer request was brought before the Lord in our meeting and in the early afternoon a man, who Tom had only met briefly several years ago, came into the office and offered an opportunity to teach evangelism at a Bible Institute for the spring semester. There will be more about this awesome answer to prayer in the near future when the plans are finalized.

God answers prayer. He is there waiting for us to ask and delights in answering the prayers of His children.

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

New Things

September 28, 2015

Two new things are on the SOS Events website that you may have missed. The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is in Spanish on the menu tab Espanol. That has been something that has been needed as the Spanish Division of the ministry has expanded greatly in the last year.

Another addition is “Tom’s Testimony” on the Testimony page. If you have not heard or read how SOS Events founder was saved it is worth a few minutes of your time to read his testimony. God has used this story all over the USA to reach people for Jesus Christ.

To God be the Glory for the new blessings that He pours out on SOS Events. 

Psalms 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. 

Shelby Shares

September 26, 2015

Shelby, the Curtis’s granddaughter, had an opportunity to share with her classmates the “3 Things God Can Not Do” at Show and Tell in her third grade class. 

She told them about SOS Events Ministry and finished with the statement, “I want to be just like my Grandpa”

Young children can be a witness for the Lord especially using the tools provided for them by SOS Events. 

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
