SOS Events workers at a flea market waiting for people to stop by to hear the Gospel. Monday 5 saved at a Flea Market and on Wednesday Ursula (A forty year old from Brazil), a young couple and a twelve year old came to Christ at the Plant City Flea Market.
Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west,so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
The office staff of SOS events is amazing. They all go above and beyond what is expected or asked of them.
Diana, office manager, teacher, trainer and friend does so many things that an ordinary employee would not do. She keeps everything running smoothly. Does all the banking and along with Carolyn takes care of donations and finances.
Alice, who does most of the scheduling of events, makes phone calls to coordinate workers, trains, and regularly wins souls at a weekly flea market.
Beka, has worked in the office part time since seventh grade, now is about to graduate from high school. She loves the ministry and is a soul winner. She is willing to do whatever necessary to help. She also does computer work and knows how the ministry functions.
Hailey is also a senior in high school who started working this year with SOS Events. She does all the things that are so important to keep supplies for events. She does filing, makes decision cards, packages tracts, sends reminders and cards to workers and various little things that are to numerous to mention.
Julianna, also a senior in high school and our newest office worker. She does computer work and her responsibilities include recording decisions and making sure the new converts get Bible studies.
There are also several volunteers who will come when extra work is needed in the office.
This staff is dedicated to the Lord, SOS Events ministry and also are a great help to the founders, Tom and Carolyn. We are so thankful to have this staff working daily in the office.
Tom and Carolyn just want to publicly thank them and want them to know how much they are appreciated.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
We had a lady, Sam, gain assurance of her salvation at the recent SOS personal witnessing training at the end of the Jonah Bible Study at Eastmont a couple of weeks ago. Lynda Coley, a trained SOS volunteer, led her in that assurance and in documenting it. The lady made the decision to get baptized because of the assurance and when Jeremy Lynch went to talk with her about the baptism, he ended up leading her husband, Dale, to Christ!! Now he is getting baptized with his wife this Sunday!! They will have several rows of family there to watch the baptisms which means more chances for her the rest of her family and friends to come to Christ or rededicate their lives. Sam’s sister’s name is Suzanne and her parents names are David & Gladys.
SOS Events has many stories similar to this one. God uses various things to bring people to salvation. Training, events, personal witnessing and visitation are all things that are taught by SOS Events. All the praise belongs to the Lord. He is the One who saves. We are His witnesses and He brings the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Annie age 31 wrote on the back of her decision card at Florida Strawberry Festival, “Today, I Annie accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior”
Mercedes 41 wrote, “my life has changed”
Sapphire age 14 commented, ” I just asked Jesus in my life”
Everett 37 made a decision and wrote, “Thank you lord for saving my sins”
Ella 63, “He forgive all of my sins”
This is just a few of the people who have been saved this year at the festival. As you can see they are all ages, gender and from all walks of life. All the new Christians need your prayers as they start their new life in Christ. He knows all their names.
Today and tomorrow is the last 2 days so please pray for many salvations. The weather is beautiful and usually Saturday and Sunday brings thousands of people into the festival. Pray God will draw them to the SOS Events booth.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
This is a family that were saved on the first day of Stawberry Festival. What a blessing to have a whole family come to Christ. 23 people have been saved the first two days of the festival. They are now children of the King.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
What is SOS Events?
SOS Events is a ministry started to reach people, to do what God commands and spread the gospel.The Bible teaches there is only ONE WAY to get to Heaven:
A. Admit that you have sinned. “For All have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Romans 3:23
B. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans10:9b
C. Call upon the Lord. “For whosoever (you) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
PRAY: Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen
If you do these things you will go to Heaven.
SOS means Serving Our Savior.
God called Tom and Carolyn Curtis, founders of SOS Events, to evangelize the USA. They have committed their lives to the Lord full time.
Who do you know that needs to be born again? What have you done to tell that person how to be saved? Salvation comes by hearing the Word of God. God provided the method and the tools to reach people through SOS Events.
SOS trainers teach churches, youth groups and all ages of people how to invest their time serving God which is our “reasonable service.”
After many years of leading people to salvation, SOS needs much prayer, financial support and committed people to partner with us, to lead friends, neighbors and people at events to salvation.
If you have a friend or relative who is unsaved, give SOS a way to contact them and we will do our best to get the gospel to them. Better, yet, SOS can teach you how to be a better witness and through the Holy Spirit you could be the one to lead them to Christ.
Reposted for the new friends of SOS Events.
Florida Strawberry Festival opens today. Please pray for many souls to be saved in the next 11 days. Many thanks to the staff of SOS Events ministry who have worked endless hours to make the booth beautiful, trained volunteers, made phone calls and worked diligently to get ready for this event.
It takes months of preparation and prayer to get ready for the Festival each year but the hard work is all to bring people to realize that they need to be saved and on their way to Heaven. Please join with us in prayer for many to be saved today and throughout the next eleven days.
Luke 14:23 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.
The theme for the Florida Strawberry Fesival this year is “Royal Fun for Everyone”. The SOS Events booth will have a banner asking, Are You In The Royal Family?
Hopefully that will get the attention of people who are unsaved and their curiosity will bring them to the booth and our volunteers will explain the plan of salvation.
We love to get pictures of the new converts and this year they will wear a crown under a sign that says, I’m a child of the King. Our King is the Lord Jesus and please join us in prayer for the hundreds of people that pass by the booth. Pray the the Holy Spirit will draw them in and their hearts will be ready to accept Him as their Savior.
The Festival starts next week, March 3-March 13 but it is not to early to pray. Many will be saved and we will share the good news with you.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Some days are busier than others. Today, SOS Events ministry has many things going on at the same time and could use the prayers of everyone who reads the blog.
The Wednesday morning Flea Market in Plant City, Fl will be having people witnessing. Need prayers for the workers and especially that souls will be saved.
In the home office there is a training scheduled for people who want to learn to win souls. Pray for the teacher and future soul winners.
Also, the Strawberry Festival booth needs to be cleaned and decorated today for that event that begins next week. Two of our faithful workers will be doing that task this morning. Strawberry Festival lasts for eleven days, twelve hours per day and the booth has to have twelve workers per day. There is still a need for workers and the office staff is working diligently to fill each slot with phone calls and emails. Prayer needed for workers and souls to be saved at this event.
The devil always tries to stop soul winning events and SOS Events founder Tom Curtis is having some health issues which require many doctor appointments at this busy time of year, which hinders Carolyn, his wife and himself for full attention to the ministry. He needs your prayers for complete healing of a wound on his left leg so they can put their energy into what they love, soul winning.
The Bible says to pray for one another and we ask that you bring these requests to God for us especially today and we will give God all the glory for the great answers to your prayers.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Soul winning and teaching others to win souls is the main purpose of SOS Events ministry. It is a great joy to see people come to know the Lord through the various events that take place.
God is richly blessing with many Spanish speaking people in our area coming to the Lord. Pastor Romero and his team go the Lakeland Flea Market every Sunday and turned in 89 decision slips this week. Those results were for several Sundays.
The Bible says to go into all the world and preach the gospel but in Florida many from other countries come to us. To God be the Glory!
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
