beyond the USA

March 23, 2015

SOS does have influence in countries outside the USA.  A group from Germany who came to Florida, was trained with SOS staff and went to the Farmers market in Plant City, Fl several months ago.

Five people made decisions for Christ.

SOS also has missionaries from England, Philippines and Yugoslavia using the “3 Things God Can Not Do” displays to interest people in the gospel.

People from over 80 countries have visited SOS website, many to get the Bible Studies. 

Several invitations have come from various countries but at this time there is none of our staff able to go, however, God does send them to us.

We pray as Jabez prayed, increase our coast. 

 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.

Wednesday Witnessing

March 16, 2015
  • This photo was taken at the Plant City Farmers market that takes place every Wednesday. Randy Thomas (left) with a new convert. The look on both their faces radiates the joy they both feel. The young man is happy because his sins have been forgiven and Randy is joyful for the privilege of leading someone to the Lord. The people that come to the Lord at this Farmers market is increasing every week. 
  • Please pray for many new converts and also for more volunteers, particularly someone who speaks Spanish.
  • 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.

God Gives Increase

Maria with new Spanish converts at Lakeland Flea Market. Every Sunday Maria, her husband, Pastor Romero, goes to the Flea Market to witness for Christ. They are so happy to have the opportunity to win souls.
In the last 3 Sunday’s over 50 people have made professions of faith.
Not only that but their church is growing.
In just 3 months since the church opened it has grown from less than 12 people to over 60, including several families.
Pastor and Maria believes that witnessing at the SOS Events booth has been the main reason for the growth. God is giving the increase as He promised in His Word.

1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Victory at Strawberry Festival

March 9, 2015

The little girl in this photo interpreted from Spanish to English so that her Mom and Dad could understand and be saved. She and her whole family accepted Christ. Mom and little brother were too shy to get in the photo but Dad was happy to stand with his young daughter to have their picture taken. This family of four will now spend eternity in Heaven.
There are so many stories of salvation to tell from Strawberry Festival 2015.
Eleven days. Early on rain and cold, then sickness and cancellation of some volunteers. But God had the victory and a total of 235 decisions were recorded. All of these converts will receive a Bible study and will have their names given to local churches in the area for follow up.
Praise the Lord for another year that SOS Events had the privilege of Serving Our Savior at Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Fl.

1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Changed Lives

March 3, 2015

Every year at Strawberry Festival SOS Events has new soul winners. This event lasts 11 days, twelve hours every day. There are four people in the booth on each shift for a total of 132 plus staff that oversees that everything runs smoothly.
Some of the volunteers have never witnessed at a public event and they feel uncertain and even a little fearful. Then they start to see God move on the hearts of people and many come into the booth to be saved.
Those volunteers who were unsure that they wanted to work in the booth get so excited that they now call and ask to work again.
Soul winning not only changes the new convert’s life, it changes the person’s life who is the witness.
There have been many Christians who have never led a soul to Christ, that now are dynamic, bold witnesses for the Lord and several have become leaders, trainers and missionaries with SOS Events.

Ephesians 6:19
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

The biggest attraction at the Strawberry Festival for some people is strawberry shortcake. This couple got something much better! Salvation.
JESUS said to come to Him and we shall never hunger or thirst.

John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

This is an actual testimony written on the back of a SOS Events decision card by a 14 year old girl named Alyson. She is just one of the 250 people who trusted Christ at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Fl last year. Tomorrow is opening day. Please pray for many to be saved at this event.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us- ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Great Report

February 24, 2015

Great Report from new missionary Pastor Romano, twenty-one souls saved at Farmers Market in Lakeland, Florida this past weekend. All of the converts were Spanish.
Pastor has begun a new Hispanic Church in Lakeland. The church has only been open for a few months and the attendance has been low, however, Sunday the church had a record attendance of 50.
The difference? Winning souls at the Farmers Market.
This is an answer to prayer, not only for that church but also for SOS Events.
This area has a huge Spanish population and to have a Spanish Pastor and his people witnessing at this Farmers Market is a great blessing.

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.
