Quote for today,

May 21, 2013

“God has had all there was of me to have.” William Booth
He was the founder of the Salvation Army. In those days he took people to the streets to witness for The Lord. His desire was to see souls saved. Oh that we as Christians would have that same desire today. SOS can teach you how to witness to others both one on one and at events.
Go to our training videos, watch them and if you need tracts or materials email or call SOS.

Personal word

May 18, 2013

Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of my son, John R. Slater, Sr. He was a Godly man, a husband, father, grandfather,
brother and son. Also, was the pastor in several churches over the years and his main passion in God’s work was missions. He spent time in Africa, the Philippines and other places serving The Lord and winning others to Christ.
He asked me once if I thought he could be great for God. God used him in many ways with many people. I personally know of four young preachers who The Lord called home early and we sometimes question, why?
God says his ways are not our ways so we may not know why until we get to Heaven.
The assurance of Heaven and the knowledge we will see our loved ones again is the great promise God has given us. So today, I am thankful God allowed me to be the mother of John and also my son Paul who are waiting for me and we will one day rejoice together in Heaven.

Mother’s Day

May 11, 2013

The Bible says in Exodus 20:12: Honor thy father and mother: … Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and if your Mom is still on earth do something special for her.
If you are a Mom, may The Lord bless you abundantly.
If your Mother has passed on then tomorrow remember her by thanking The Lord for all she did for you.
Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms.

Are you discouraged?

May 8, 2013

Billy Graham says, “Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in our lives. Discouragement blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us perceive only the unfavorable circumstances. I have never met a person who spent time in daily prayer, in the study of the Word of God, and who was strong in the faith who was ever discouraged for very long.

The secret of prayer

April 24, 2013

The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.

Are you busy?

April 18, 2013

Everyday at SOS office you will find very busy people. Sometimes it can get overwhelming. This verse can help get us through busy days.
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Quote for the Day

Life with Christ is endless love:
Without Him it is a loveless end.
Billy Graham
Praying you are filled with Christ’s love today.
He loves you and wants you to have peace and joy.

Grandchildren are a blessing

April 2, 2013

Today we reflect on our grandchildren who are serving The Lord as they reach maturity. In the Curtis family ther are 40 grandchildren from the smallest ( one on the way) to mature adults with children of their own.The teens are a special blessing as all of them are following The Lord in music and ministry.
Yesterday we had a wonderful report from the Webster, Fl flea market where 2 different sets of grandparents brought their grandchildren to the SOS booth to be saved. The results were great. In both cases the teens were saved and the grandparents rejoiced. Proverbs 17:6 Children’s children are the crown of old men…..

He has risen!!!

Fishers of Men

March 28, 2013

SOS Events is a ministry that sends out fishers of men. I love this quote:
The difference between catching fish and catching men is that you catch fish that are alive,
and they die:
you catch men that are dead and bring them to life.
