New Team For SOS Events Ministry

March 24, 2025

Steve Slater and Shirley, SOS Events Leaders

What a blessing. Five new volunteers to go to events in Cookeville, Tennessee.

Steve Slater, the trainer and leader for SOS Events, moved to Tennessee just a few months ago. He found Hampton’s Crossroads Baptist Church and told the Pastor about SOS Events. The Pastor was excited about a new method to witness to people.

This past week. 5 members of the church came for training and on April 5 will have their first event. A large Car Show.

Please pray for this event. Pray many unsaved people will hear the gospel and be saved.

Pray for these new volunteers that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit and are bold and are able to bring people into the Kingdom.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23

Honor Your Pastor Today. Pray For Him.

March 23, 2025

Pastors are called by many names. Pastor, Preacher, Reverend, Elder and several other titles we give to the man of God who leads your church.

Whatever his title is, he deserves your prayers and support. The Bible says they are worthy of double honor.

Pray for your Pastor today and let him know you appreciate all that he does.

Do You Know How To Make A Sandwich?

March 22, 2025

How do you make a sandwich? Make preparations by getting the ingredients together.

First you have to choose the bread. White, whole wheat, rye or some other kind.

Then the filling. Roast beef, chicken, tuna, peanut butter or whatever you like in a sandwich. Maybe you prefer something spicy or hot.

Then you top it with mayo, mustard, ketchup or something to make it taste good. Put the other piece of bread and it is finished.

Do you know how to make a spiritual sandwich?

Make preparations by praying about the situation.

Maybe you have a family member, coworker or friend that you need to reprimand for something they are doing that is wrong or not pleasing to God.

Make a sandwich. First choose something that the person you need to correct has done right. Compliment them for the good thing they have done.

Then the meat or filling. Tell them what they need to do to correct the error of their ways.

Top it with LOVE. Love makes whatever is unpleasant go down smoothly.

Put the top on it with something positive and encouraging.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. James 5:19 & 20

True Friendship!

March 21, 2025

Friends are so important. We can get wisdom, encouragement and fellowship from our friends.

It isn’t just what we get out of a friendship, but what we give to them that lifts and sharpens them.

Be attentive. Listen. Only give advice when they ask for it and don’t get offended if they ignore it.

Show true love. Love them better than you love yourself.

Sing Unto The LORD!

March 15, 2025

Do you ever sing praises to the Lord when you are alone?

We may sing along as we hear a song or hymn on the radio or other media source. We sing in church or in a group of other Christians, but do you sing to the Lord as worship when you are alone? Just because you love Him and worship Him.

If you never have done that, try it. Jesus delights in our worship from the heart.

Strawberry Festival 2018!

March 8, 2025

This photo was taken at the Florida Strawberry Festival in 2018. SOS Events is finishing the 22 year of witnessing at this event.

Over 6,000 people have made decisions to follow Jesus in those 22 years at this event! God has blessed the volunteers, supporters and prayer warriors with great results.

What a wonderful time of rejoicing when we get to Heaven and God tells all the people who are part of SOS Events Ministry, “ Well Done”.

Today and tomorrow are the last opportunity to witness at the Strawberry Festival this year. Please pray for people to be saved. Volunteers to be there without any problems. (Our enemy tries to distract and discourage the volunteers).

“His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Your Pastor Needs Your Prayers!

February 23, 2025

Today is Sunday and your Pastor needs prayer. The Enemy does not want him filled with the Spirit and preaching God’s Word. He will face battles today as he gets ready to feed us. The best way to honor your Pastor is to pray for him and encourage him with kind words. Pray for power in his message, for souls to be saved and backslidden Christians to get right with God.

Also, a tip from a dear Pastor’s wife, please do not catch him before church with problems, troubles or criticism. He needs to be free from conflicting thoughts so the Holy Spirit can work through him.

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding

Why Worry

February 21, 2025

“Why worry, when you can pray?
Trust Jesus, He will be your stay.
Don’t be a doubting Thomas,
lean fully on His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, worry when you can pray?”

We sometimes get stressed and worry about things that may never happen. And even if they do happen, we have a promise from Jesus himself. The peace of God will be there to comfort us and guide us through any situation.

I love this little course “ Why worry when you can pray.” if you don’t know it, look it up online and sing along. That little melody will go with you all day and how can you worry when in your heart you know that Jesus is with you and will work out whatever you worry about.
