Don and Shirley

July 22, 2015

It is good to look back to see the blessings God has brought into the ministry.

Don and Shirley are one of the couples who have helped make the ministry grow. They joined SOS events in 2007. They had prayed for and supported  SOS Events since it began in 2001. Don and Shirley have traveled the farthest distance in the USA  taking SOS Events ministry to Montana in 2007 where over 75 people made a decision for Christ.

Please pray for Don and Shirley as they are no longer able to travel because of failing health, however, they still bless the ministry with their prayers and encouragement.

SOS Events ministry has grown and expanded because God has used people like Don and Shirley to further His gospel.

Shirley is pictured here with a young man she led to the Lord the year before in Indiana. This young man came to the booth  to tell Shirley how thankful he was for his salvation and wanted a picture with her.
 Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 

Thanks for the Tree

July 2, 2015

Yesterday the thermometer read 99 degrees in the sun in Florida. SOS Events missionaries Alice and Randy did not let the heat stop them from going to the Flea Market in Plant City however.

The first blessing was that Alice had a coupon for $10.00 off and the space only cost $2.00. Then she asked the parking attendant if she could have a spot for the canopy under a tree. He let her get out of the line to go under a beautiful shade tree. God blessed the workers with 21 people who asked JESUS to be their Saviour.

The thanks goes to God who gave the increase and thankfulness for the tree. God loves and blesses the faithful soul winners.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Blessings from New Jersey

June 29, 2015

The training in New Jersey went really well Sunday morning. Chris Domenech did a great job as always. The New Jersey team had the privilege of training three people at Faith Baptist  Church. Brenda and Susan from Bordentown Calvary Chapel and Ella who was referred to by the SOS team.   

SOS Events is blessed to have a great team in New Jersey. This group has been partnering with the ministry for many years and hundreds of people have been saved. If you would like to read how this NJ partnership started go to the testimony page on the website and read the story from Ted Martens. It all started with a peppermint candy.

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Honor Police Officers 

June 10, 2015

Yesterday, Tom got stopped by a policeman. We wondered what we were doing wrong. We were not speeding, we were obeying all the traffic rules we thought. He told us to pull over and stop and we obeyed.

Thinking he would give us a ticket for something, we were concerned, however, he came up and said, ” Sir, do you know you have no taillights?”

We did not know. He checked Tom’s license and said, “Go and get them fixed.”

We immediately went to Pep Boys and the lights were fixed right away.

The point in telling this story is to say that we appreciate our police officers. In a time that some people are causing riots because policemen are doing their jobs, we law abiding citizens need to stand up for our policemen.

We did not get the officer’s name but thank him for helping us to maybe avoid an accident.

1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

God Directs

June 7, 2015

SOS Events ministry purchased a concession trailer a few years ago but never had the opportunity to use it as our schedule has been so busy.

Our Spanish Pastor Romero saw it and wanted it for his ministry. Every week his group goes to the Flea Market to win souls and this trailer will be a great asset to them.

They win more souls to the Lord in one week than 20 churches combined. Praise the Lord this trailer will now be used as was the intention several years ago. God truly directs the path of believers. It is a great blessing for SOS Events to partner with this soul winning church.

Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,  and he shall direct thy paths.

  

Yolanda

May 29, 2015

SOS Events is blessed with people who have various gifts. Some are blessed with mechanical skills, some with organizational ability, some have the gift of teaching, a few preachers and evangelists. All who come with the ministry have a desire to win souls.

The newest member of the Florida team is Yolanda. Not only does she have a desire to win souls, she is bilingual and is translating SOS Events training materials into Spanish which will be a great tool to enlarge the growing Spanish ministry of SOS. She is a willing worker and will also be a part of Senior Servants who help with the monthly newsletter and tract ministry. Her first event was this week at the Plant City Flea Market where she had the opportunity to see souls come to JESUS. She is the lady on the left holding the small “3Things God Can Not Do” display board. The other lady in the photo is a new convert.

1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

  

Financial Blessings

May 27, 2015

iPads, smart phones and computers are a great part of our lifestyle in 2015. It would be difficult if not impossible to have growth in the ministry without modern technology. However, there is nothing like having a letter or card come via snail mail, especially from faithful supporters. SOS was blessed this past week to have a check come in from a couple who are not monthly supporters but give few times a year. This check a sizable amount and was especially needed. 

God supplies the need. He uses every person who gives. Sometimes it may be an envelope with a dollar or two, and the faithful supporters who give regularly at various amounts. SOS Event is blessed to have several supporters who have given since the ministry began in 2001 and some even gave to the founders even before the ministry was started.

This is an opportunity to say Thank You to all who give and have made SOS Events possible. You will have a reward in Heaven. Over 50,000 souls have made decisions for Christ since the ministry was founded in 2001.

If you have never given but would like to, SOS also does accept donations through PayPal. (Yes, we do use our modern devices to help SOS Events grow). Click on the donate button on the home page to contribute online.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Home Health Nurse Saved

May 18, 2015

Tom is home from the hospital and a nurse comes to the house to treat the wound on his foot. Paul was one of the nurses. 

He said he is one of only 6% of all the nurses who are male and Tom was blessed to have him come to the house. As they talked the conversation turned to the subject of salvation. Tom as usual handed Paul a tract and asked him if he had ever seen the “3 Things God Cannot Do”

Paul said he had never heard about the 3 things.

Tom told him: 1. God cannot lie. Titus 1:2.    2. God cannot change. Malachi 3:6.   3. God cannot let anyone in heaven unless they are born again. John 3:3-5.

Then he asked Paul if he had ever been saved. When Paul answered “No” Tom proceeded to explain the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Paul bowed his head and invited JESUS to be his Savior.

Romans 8:38 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
