Welcome September!

September 1, 2022

SOS Events Ministry busiest months are now here. Fall festivals, churchyard events, yard sales and many venues coming up.

You can be part of winning people to Jesus in several ways. Let us know about events taking place in your area, volunteer to work in a booth for 3 or 4 hours, support SOS Events financially and most importantly pray for souls and volunteers.

May God give you a wonderful month of September.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Genesis 1:14

God Made Today! Rejoice!

August 31, 2022

There have been days that I have not felt like rejoicing. During times of illness of myself or loved ones. When my spouse went home to be with the Lord! Grief.

But, God’s Word tells us to rejoice. Is it possible in difficult circumstances. Yes, if we have a true relationship with the Lord Jesus, He gives us the ability to rejoice in our hearts.

Do we shed tears? Of course, but we have a Savior that gives us inner joy and peace through the most trying times.

So today, if you are having a good day or a difficult day, stop, rejoice and thank the Lord for His blessings.

Attention, Senior Citizens

August 30, 2022

Today a plea goes out to all Christians who are retired or about to be. Do not “retire” from serving God. Most of you who are in good health or even if you have some problems, can be used to bring souls to Jesus.

Get busy, the time is short. Some of the ways God can use you: Hand out tracts when shopping or at a restaurant. Participate at your church in some area of service, the nursery usually needs volunteers. Prayer, even if you can not get out you can pray. The most needed resource for any church or ministry is prayer.

Get involved with a ministry. SOS Events is always looking for volunteers to go to events. 3 or 4 hours a week, a month or even a year would be a great blessing.

Follow the Lord’s leading. SOS Events founders were 62 and 64 when the ministry began 20 years ago and since that time over 80,000 souls have made decisions for Christ. You are not too old so let’s get busy for the Lord.

Psalms 71:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come

Carolyn Curtis speaking to a group of Senior Citizens in Michigan this past week.

A Special Prayer For Pastors!

August 28, 2022

“Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Pray for your Pastor today. Especially as he preaches. That he may have the power of the Holy Spirit, that people would be convicted of sin and that the unsaved will see their need for the Savior, Jesus.

Heading Home

August 26, 2022

When we are on a journey, business or pleasure, the one thing we look forward to is heading home.

As Christians we are on a journey through life. God gives us many things that are for our pleasure. Family, friends, homes, good food, clothing and many things we can enjoy.

God also gives us work to do for him. Love for others, church, witnessing for Him. Many opportunities to do service for the Lord.

However, we should be longing for Home. Heaven. Are we headed in the right direction? We have a roadmap to follow. That is the Bible, God’s Holy Word.

It is important to check the roadmap on a trip, but more important to check the Bible everyday to keep us on the right road.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16

Calling All Youth!

August 22, 2022

SOS Events is calling out to young people who love the Lord and want to learn how to witness.

When you were really little did you learn the nursery rhyme “Mary had a little Lamb.”?

If you did, you can learn how to witness using the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do”

Witnessing is for everyone. SOS EVENTS NEEDS YOU!

Maybe you are a student still in high school or college. You may be just starting out in life looking for something that has real value. Telling others about Jesus is the best thing you can ever do. You will be storing treasure in Heaven for eternity.

Choice or Command?

August 6, 2022

Many Christians think that witnessing to others is a choice. They choose not to tell others about how Jesus died, was buried and rose again.

God tells us in His Word that it is a command. Every Christian is told to “go.”

You may think you have an excuse. Too old, too young, much to busy, or whatever you think will excuse you, but you will someday have to stand before God and give an account.

Are you afraid, don’t think you have enough knowledge? SOS Events can help you with a simple method that is non confrontational and easy to learn.

The greatest thing about going to events to witness is that people come to you. The “3 Things God Can Not Do.” Can be used at events, when visiting family or friends and anywhere you happen to be.

Be obedient to God’s Word and find someone you can tell about Jesus today.

Do Something!

July 30, 2022

Do something for the Lord. Pray, give, go. Maybe you can not doe all of these things, but you can do something.

Everyone can pray. Most of us can give. Some of us can go. SOS Events needs you! Do something!

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23

My Jesus I Love You!

July 29, 2022

1 My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

2 I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

3 I’ll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now

This is an old hymn written many years ago by a young man, William Featherston, only 16 years old. What a great gift to future generations.

However, today in many churches the old hymns with heartfelt meaning are no longer sung. How sad.

Can you join with me an say “my Jesus, I love you.” He loves you.

Will You Give Someone A Tract?

July 23, 2022

Tracts are very effective. Many Christians have been saved reading a tract, either along with someone witnessing or them or picking one up and reading it on their own.

Carolyn Curtis is a good example. She was given a tract the morning she was on the way to Niagara Falls to end her life. While getting up the courage to jump in, she read the tract, prayed the prayer on the back and was gloriously saved. Since that time many have come to the Lord through her witness.

One tract can change a life. You can be the one to give a tract to someone in person, leave one in the restroom at a store restaurant or any public place. Put one in a library book, in a shoe box at a shoe store. Be creative. Think of a place to leave a tract and pray someone will find it who needs the Lord. It is a life changing opportunity.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

If you need tracts, you can order the 3 Things God Can Not Do tracts from SOS Events website, call the office or mail and request them. Www.SOSEvents.org, 813-494-7512 or PO Box 189, Dover, Fl 33527 A packet of 25 for $2.50 plus postage.
