What Kind of Influence Are You?

May 10, 2014

Mothers and Grandmothers have a great influence on their children. A Biblical example is Eunice and Lois to Timothy.
Grandmother Lois. She was the first convert. Then the daughter was saved, and finally Timothy. This did not come through heredity, but through prayer and Christian training.
The Apostle Paul wrote 2 books of the Bible to Timothy, then a young man but the influence of 2 women on Timothy’s life blesses us yet today.
Our influence as Mothers and Grandmothers has a lasting effect on future generations. We need to be Godly examples to our children and grandchildren.

2 Timothy 1:5
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

To God Be The Glory

April 25, 2014

To God be the glory, great things He hath done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

Lyrics by Fanny Crosby and tune by William Howard Doane.
It appears to have been written around 1872. Ira Sankey had introduced it in England during Moody’s 1873-1874 evangelistic campaigns. Despite this the song failed to achieve wide usage in the United States and was included in very few hymnals. In 1954 Cliff Barrows, song leader for Billy Graham, was handed a copy with the suggestion that it be added to the song book for the London Crusade. It was so popular that he included it again later that year in the Crusade in Nashville, TN. The audience responded enthusiastically and from that time on used it regularly. With this exposure the song rapidly became familiar to a Christians worldwide and is included in most modern hymnals.
SOS Events is being blessed by God everyday. To Him be the glory.

1 Timothy 1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.

Another Randy

April 5, 2014

20140405-065842.jpg
If you have been following this blog you know how we prayed for another Randy, and God sent us a Randy two weeks ago.
Then last week the phone rang and the man said, “Hi, my name is Randy and I want to join your ministry and take it back to Ohio.”
In the picture is Randy, his wife and another couple, he recruited.
Tom and I went to Webster Flea Market to train them and now SOS will have a team in Ohio.
We have now changed our prayer to, “Father, please send us some more men and women who have a passion for souls like Randy.”
God answers prayer specifically.

John 14:13-14
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

March 28, 2014

If you have never heard the song, ” Brighten the Corner Where You Are,” try to find someone who can sing it to you. It has a catchy tune and is a happy song with a good message.
Most of the songs and hymns written years ago came from problems or tragedy. Ina Duley Ogden was invited to speak at a great Sunday School Convention, but instead was called home to take care of her father who had been injured in an accident.
In her disappointment she decided to be a blessing to just the people around her, especially her father and wrote the words to the song.
“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,/ Do not wait to shed your light afar,/ To the many duties ever near you now be true,/ Brighten the corner where you are.”
Her song became so popular that it opened all of Billy Sundays revivals for over 22 years and tragedy blessed not hundreds of people but thousands.

Romans 8:28
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.

God Answers Prayer Specifically

March 27, 2014

Be careful what you pray for. God has a sense of humor, I believe. We at SOS have been praying for about a year, “Lord, send us another Randy.”
Randy Mlinek and his team does a wonderful job at flea markets in Florida winning souls to Christ, that we wanted another person to have the same passion and burden for souls.
Yesterday, in the blog we told how God answered prayer. What we did not say is that the man God sent is Randy.
We are changing our prayer now to, “Lord, please send us more men and women who have the vision like Randy.”

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

God Answers Prayer

March 26, 2014

God answers prayer. SOS has been praying for more full time missionaries to come with the ministry. Last night a Pastor called and said he is coming with SOS full time.
This Pastor was at the first church we went to in Florida when the ministry was in its infancy. He has seen what God has done over the years and is ready now to join with us as we attempt to reach the USA and beyond for Christ.

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

Jane is pictured here with a new convert at the Flea Market. Jane loves soul winning at events. Many senior citizens feel they have deserved a rest and do not want to spend time witnessing.
Jane is now investing her time, for the many rewards she will lay at Jesus feet in Heaven.
Her testimony is that she never won anyone to The Lord until she started working with SOS.
God has blessed SOS Events with soul winners of all ages. The youngest to witness in a booth was 12 years old and there have been some that are in their 70’s and 80’s.
Anyone can learn to witness using the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do.”
The joy of seeing a soul come to Christ is the greatest pleasure we can have here on earth.
Contact SOS for more information if you would like to learn more.

John 4:36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

Tornado Warning

March 8, 2014

Events like fairs, flea markets and other outside activities depend on the weather to bring in the crowds.
On Thursday this week, the weather report was not good. Tornado watches and warnings were broadcast most of the day. Rain came down and the wind blew.
SOS staff had prayed for good weather for Strawberry Festival and now we have Tornado warnings. Nobody will come to Strawberry Festival in this weather was my thought.
Our booth is inside a stone building, only one of 2 permanent buildings that are on Strawberry Festival property.
Where would people go to get out of this horrible weather? Inside the safest building they could find. Ten precious souls were saved on Thursday in just 4 hours.
My faith was small but God turned that bad situation into a BIG blessing.

Matthew 8:26
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Faces of Joy

March 6, 2014

20140306-062008.jpg
A picture is worth 1000 words the saying goes. This couple, along with SOS worker, Randy, are just 2 of the people who have been saved so far at Strawberry Festival.
Four more days to go so please pray with us for a harvest of souls and protection for the soul winners.

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.

Rejoicing

February 25, 2014

SOS Events Ministries has many reasons to rejoice. Every week at flea markets, fairs and other like events souls are saved. The wonderful thing about it is that we work as a team.
Usually one team member presents the “3 Things God Can Not Do” to an unsaved person and another soul winner tells the person how to be saved by sharing the ABC’s of salvation. God gives the increase.
If you would like to know more contact SOS: info@sosevents.org.

John 4:36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal:that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
