Family Fun Day

August 14, 2016

 A New team for SOS Events in Tennessee. Charles, Bill, Pat and Jim did a great job at Family Fun Day in Spring Hill, TN yesterday. 24 salvations were recorded and others were witnessed to including a man who was a  Buddhist.

Everyone in the team were excited and looking forward to more events in the future. Praise the Lord for people who want to Serve Our Savior with SOS Events. 


1 Corinthians 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Blessings in Tennessee 

August 11, 2016

Carolyn Curtis traveled to Tennessee yesterday to train new soul winners, oversee an event and speak to the wonderful people at Bible  Baptist Church in Hendersonville. The Pastor and people were great and welcoming and many came to tell Carolyn they were inspired to win souls, be witnesses for the Lord and will pray for SOS Events. 

Tomorrow there is a training Spring Hill, TN and Saturday a “churchyard” event. Please pray that many will come to know Jesus and that Christians will be encouraged to witness for the Lord.

What a privilege and joy to be on the road traveling and Serving Our Savior. God has blessed the ministry and especially given opportunity to Carolyn to be an encouragement to others and expand SOS Events into a new area of Tennessee on Saturday in Spring Hill.

Psalms 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Humble and Committed

August 10, 2016

Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry,  kept a daily journal with prayer requests and his thoughts about family, friends and Christian living. These journals are a blessing as we now have in his own handwriting his prayers and goals for the ministry.

In a journal from the year 2000, before SOS Events was founded, there were two words he used to describe a successful Christian, especially a soul winner. They must be humble and committed. Traits that he displayed in his own life. 

Let us take a lesson from a man who loved the Lord with all his heart and not only wrote encouraging words but lived them daily.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

South American Trip

August 5, 2016

Over 25 salvations, 500 tracts handed out, many jungle pastors equipped with mini-boards and tracts and many interventions and appointments by God
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Aggravation Blessings

August 1, 2016

Sometimes aggravation can turn into a blessing. About a month ago Carolyn won a young man to the Lord named, Carlos. He is a Service man for SOS Events Wi-Fi system that we use for the office as well as the home on the property. 

After a severe storm last week the Wi-Fi system was not working well so we called for service. The service man who came was the same Carlos and Carolyn was able to talk with him some more about his new faith and she gave him the book 101 Salvation Stories. He was happy to receive it. It was such a blessing to see him again and know that he is growing in his Christian faith.

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

Wednesday is a Special Day

July 27, 2016

Wednesday is a special day in the home office of SOS Events. The opportunity to win souls at the weekly Plant City Flea Market is always exciting. It is also the day when all the office staff is working. All of the office personnel are part time workers so their hours vary, but on Wednesdays everyone is busy in the office. 

Diana, who is the Office Manager/Secretary is overseeing and making sure everyone has their tasks understood and preformed properly. Beka, Hailey and Juliana, our 3 recent high school graduates are doing their work diligently. Beka is Diana’s assistant and has worked in the office all her high school years, her main duties are to do whatever Diana or Carolyn needs to be done. Hailey does most of the filing, keeping the tracts and supplies in order. Juliana records the decisions and updates any records needed on the computer.

After the Flea Market, Alice arrives with the news of the salvations for the day. Then she works on correspondence, schedules events and makes necessary phone calls. Carolyn now has her own office so is not in the main building on Wednesdays but will go in and greet everyone before she goes to carry on the work of the ministry. 

David, SOS maintenance man also works on Wednesdays when he is in Florida. He spends his summers up North and will return soon.

Everyday is an opportunity to further the Gospel of Jesus, but for the home office of SOS Events,  Wednesday is a special day when we all work together.

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

God is Faithful

July 21, 2016


Usually on Wednesdays at the Flea Market in Plant City, Fl, the majority of people saved are Spanish speaking. Yesterday, however, there was no one who spoke Spanish to work in the SOS Events booth. 

Sometimes our faith is small and we think that if a certain worker is not there no one will be saved. God knows our hearts and that we desire to see people come to him no matter what the language or who the soul winners are. The results yesterday were amazing! Eleven people trusted Jesus as their Savior and all were Engish speaking. Also, there were only two SOS Events workers at the booth, Randy and Alice. 

God blesses at every event. He knew exactly who the soul winners would be and also, who would be in the crowd. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness.

Psalms 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Salvations on 4th of July

July 5, 2016

Reports are coming in for the events held on The July 4th weekend. In Polk City, Fl. Randy and Romona Thomas set up a SOS Events booth at the Land of the Free event. Seven souls were saved, 1 adult, 2 teenagers and 3 twelve year olds and one girl age 11. A 15 year old girl wrote on the back of her decision card, “I learned about my spiritual birthday – I asked Jesus to forgive me for my sins and to come into my heart.”

In New Jersey, Lavana and the SOS Events group went to the Columbus Farmers Market and had 6 people make decisions for Christ, 3 from New Jersey 2 from Pennsylvania and one from Virginia.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

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.
