Two Special Ladies

February 11, 2019

Alice Thomas and Diana Guiliano are a vital part of SOS Events Ministry. Alice (left) is the Communication Director. She does most of the phone calling, correspondence and scheduling of all events. Finding events and securing a booth space is a constant activity for Alice. She records all decisions, workers, and trainings. She is a missionary with SOS Events, is a weekly soul winner at Plant City Flea Market and much more.

Diana (right) is secretary/ treasurer of SOS Events, on the Board of Directors, office manager, trainer and event worker. Her responsibilities are many. She takes care of the finances, records all donations, works with the accountant to make sure that all legal government documents are filed properly. She also receives all email and makes sure messages get to the proper person. She collects regular mail and does all he banking for SOS Events.

Both these women keep SOS Events Ministry running smoothly. They do many things beyond their “job description”. This picture is a great example, they are at the Annual Meeting demonstrating how to present the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and the ABC’s of Salvation. SOS Events are blessed to have these 2 Godly women as part of the ministry.

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

Florida Strawberry Festival

February 6, 2019

It is hard to believe that the Florida Strawberry Festival is 3 weeks away. The excitement of the opportunity to win people to the Lord is building. There are still decorations to be made for the booth, several trainings to get new workers, finalize the schedule and many things to numerous to mention. (2018 photo)

Please pray with us for a wonderful harvest of souls at the Festival this year. All the work that goes into a large event is worth everything if only one soul gets saved, but we are setting a goal and praying for 300.

1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.

Carolyn Curtis with Pastor Theodore Martens

SOS ministry — There yesterday at their annual presentation where their effectiveness in evangelistic outreach was so evidently reported for 2018.

A great Gospel and outreach ministry worthy of your financial support. One of the best accountable ministries out there that will use what you give for real Gospel and soul-reaching purposes.

Tom Curtis went to be with the Lord in early 2017, and Carolyn Curtis still carries on Tom’s vision, purpose and plan, alongside of many others at the same headquarters in Dover, Florida.

I was reminded again of Tom’s passion, unique giftedness, love for evangelism, his unrelenting and effective activity in sharing the Gospel himself, his drive into and throughout 70’s, and the moving story of his own salvation experience as a successful executive who came to know Jesus through the tragic sudden death of his son.

Theodore Martens

Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Exciting Day

February 2, 2019

This photo was taken at SOS Events Annual Meeting last year. About 35 people attended. Today is the second Annual Meeting and over 75 people have registered. Over double from last year. God is blessing SOS Events with new people and new opportunities. Please pray for a great meeting and God’s continued blessings and that He will expand our coast as He did Jabez.

1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Pray for SOS Events

January 29, 2019

Problems are part of life and on the SOS Events property there is an electricity problem. When working on display boards in the paint shop, David Dow, noticed sparks coming from an electric outlet. He immediately shut off the power. When the Electrician came, he gave us the bad news, all the wiring and boxes need replacement. The Office, Workshop and the Curtis home are all effected by the old dangerous system. We are thankful that God kept the property safe from fire, but this problem must be taken care of immediately. Until then all power to the workshop is shut off. Pray for additional funds will come in to pay for the repairs. Estimate $4000. SOS Events is a faith based ministry. God provides through the generosity of people who love the ministry. Please pray that the funds will come in and ask the Lord what you can do to help.

Proverbs 21:3 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Thank You From SOS Events

January 26, 2019

Today, a special thank you to everyone who comes and works on the SOS Events property to make it beautiful and safe. If we mentioned names we would be sure to leave someone out, so just a big thank you to everyone who takes time from their busy schedules to help. A few of the blessings, a new sidewalk, landscaping, cleanup after a storm that left debris everywhere. Some of you come when you know there is a need, others come immediately when there is an emergency, like a broken water line or electricity problems, others have a schedule, once a week or once a month. All of you are appreciated. Some people can not volunteer physically but give financially, which is always helpful because it takes money for supplies for up keep on the property. If you would like to be a blessing to SOS Events, we can always use your help.

Philippians 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

Pigz in Z’Hills

January 21, 2019

Most of the USA to the north of Florida is having cold weather, in Florida the days are sunny and warm. This past weekend, SOS Events had a booth at the Pigz in Z’Hills. An annual event that featured all kinds of food and fun.

In the picture above are four young people who trusted Jesus as their Savior. In the center is Alice, SOS Events Event Coordinator. She also, works most Events, schedules workers and keeps up correspondence with the many churches and volunteers. When anyone calls the main office it is usually Alice who answers the phone. What a blessing to have faithful workers, especially when they have a heart for winning souls to Christ.

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

Annual Meeting

January 17, 2019

SOS Events is preparing for the second Annual Meeting on February 2, at Gapway Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. It takes a lot of work, thought and preparation. Arrange for food, music, prizes, guest speaker and all the other things that will make this Meeting a success. But, what if after all that work, no one comes? That would be sad. The invitation to the meeting is extended to all volunteers and friends of SOS Events Ministry, But you must RSVP if you are coming.

There is Someone else who is making preparation for a great meeting. He is the Lord Jesus preparing a place in Heaven for you. What if you don’t come? There is an invitation sent to you. To accept the invitation, you must invite Jesus to be your Savior. Admit you are a sinner, repent of those sins, believe in Jesus death, burial and resurrection. You can then be ready for that great meeting in Heaven. Jesus said:

John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
