Day of Salvation

January 18, 2017

The weekly Plant City Flea Market is today. Last Wednesday one precious soul accepted Christ as Savior. Join in prayer with the staff of SOS Events that today many will be saved.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Men From Appomattox 

January 14, 2017

These five men totally transformed the outside of the SOS Events office buildings in 4 days. Not only are they hard workers but dedicated Christians. They are standing on the new deck that doubled the size of the space we use for meetings and workspace when needed.

Thank you (from left to right), Arnold, Patrick, Pastor Jonathan, Kevin and Jerry. Praying for a safe trip home to Appomattox, VA today.

1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Work On

January 12, 2017

Work on SOS Events property continues. We are thankful for all the hard work these 5 men from Bible Baptist Church, Appomattox, VA are doing. The offices of SOS Events are just 2 job trailers and all the planning and administration happens from the space the Lord has provided.

As you can see the money donated does not go for fancy buildings and expensive facilities, but all goes to the goal of seeing souls come to Jesus. We do need to take care of what we have however, and the sacrifice of these men from VA are a blessing. Please pray for them. 2 of them have had news of serious illness in a family member since they have been here, but they continue to work on.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Please be in prayer for the Mission Team from Bible Baptist Church, Appomattox, VA. traveling to Dover, FL today to assist with construction and facility upgrades at the office of SOS Event Evangelism. Bro. Tom Curtis went to be with The Lord in May, 2016. Our Mission Team desires to be an encouragement and help to Ms. Carolyn Curtis as this ministry continues to reach 1,000s of people each year with The Gospel.

We at SOS Events are thankful for the men from Virginia who are coming to help get the property in good shape. We appreciate them and are praying for a safety as they travel to Florida.

Partnering Church

January 6, 2017

Faith Baptist Church in Hamilton, New Jersey has been a vital part of SOS events ministry for many years. The first Saturday of every month they have an SOS EVENTS visitation program. Also, there are several trainers and team leaders that go to events like fleamarkets and churchyard events in New Jersey.

There is a public park close to the church where many community events are held each year and the SOS team uses these opportunities to win souls in their area. The church owns a farm where many events take place yearly and the public is invited to participate. The church provides free food, games and other activities to bring people to their property and then gives them an opportunity to be saved.

SOS Events is blessed to have this soul winning church partnering with us.

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

Only Three

January 5, 2017

Praise the Lord for the 3 souls that were saved at the plant city flea market yesterday. Sometimes we look at the results of our efforts and wonder why only three people got saved. I was reminded by one of our coworkers that most churches don’t see three people saved in a week, a month, or even a year. Heaven rejoices when  one person comes to know the Lord.

Everyone who has a part in SOS Events ministry is blessed to be used of God. We know that we are just witnesses that God uses and He brings the increase.

Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Serving Our Savior in 2017

January 2, 2017

SOS Events ministry is looking forward to a great year in 2017. We are praying for more souls to be saved, new team leaders and many christians to come and be trained to win souls. 

2016 ended with almost 2000 recorded decisions for Christ. These are people who came to the booth at a flea market, fair, races, car shows or other events. We get name, address, age and other information so we can follow up on these new converts. In addition to these results there were many decisions that were not recorded. People we witnessed to that would not give us the information we desired or were handed a tract and said they would pray later.

We totally depend on the Holy Spirit to work on the hearts of people we witness to. We sow and water and God gives the increase. Praise the Lord for a successful year that has passed, and we are praying for Him to give an even greater harvest in 2017. Please join us in prayer for a spectacular new year.

1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Wednesday a Day For Salvations 

December 28, 2016

This is a picture from last week of SOS Events workers at the Wednesday Flea Market in Plant City, Fl. Twelve people came to know the Lord on that day. Today is another Wednesday and Randy and Alice are there again, along with some of the other workers who love winning souls to Christ. These workers sacrifice their time every week, setting up before 6:00 am, for the privilege of Serving Our Savior. Please pray for them today as they are already there before you even get a chance to read about them. Pray that many will be saved today.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Without Him

November 18, 2016

SOS Events is blessed to have some wonderful people who are trainers and missionaries with the ministry. Yesterday a group from Florida and Alabama (via a conference call) met to discuss and plan how to update the way we train people to be soul winners. It is wonderful to be able to work together to improve and see the ministry grow. In 15 years since SOS Events was founded, the ministry has grown from 2 people, Tom and Carolyn Curtis, to over 50 trainers and hundreds of workers in the USA and beyond. That has resulted in over 50,000 people who have been saved and on their way to Heaven. 

The future is even brighter, thanks to the dedicated trainers who are willing to meet and make suggestions how to improve SOS Events and have even more souls saved in the next 15 years should the Lord tarry. Please pray for the leaders, missionaries and trainers that we will trust in the Lord and depend on the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us to even greater blessings in the years to come; for without Him we can do nothing.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

A Salvation Story

November 14, 2016

One of the blessings of a soul winner at an event is this salvation story: A mother and her son came over to the SOS Events booth and neither of them were 100% sure they were going to Heaven. They decided to sit down and make sure they knew how to be saved. 

After hearing the ABC’s of Salvation they were ready to pray and invite Jesus to be their Savior. While they were listening, the Husband, who had been looking around, came over and heard also, but no one had noticed him standing a little way off. When it was time to pray instead of two voices, there were 3 voices praying to receive Christ. What joy when a whole family comes to know the Lord together. The SOS Events workers were happy and the family left the booth rejoicing.

Psalms 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
