Growing Beyond the Decision

June 16, 2026
Carolyn and Carla. Carla sends the Bible Studies

Recently I had the privilege of traveling to Georgia and visiting Source of Light Ministries, a partnering ministry that sends Bible studies to those who make decisions for Christ through SOS Events.

This visit reminded me why it is so important for our prayer partners and volunteers to carefully collect the names, addresses, and ages of those who trust Jesus as their Savior at our events. A decision for Christ is the beginning of a new life, not the end of the journey. Through these Bible studies, new believers can learn God’s Word, grow in their faith, and be encouraged to become active in a local Bible-believing church.

We are grateful for this partnership and for the opportunity to help new Christians take their next steps in their walk with the Lord. Every name represents a precious soul for whom Christ died, and every Bible study mailed is an opportunity for spiritual growth.

KJV Verse

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV)

Today is an Event!

May 27, 2026

Event Evangelism, Inc is the legal name for SOS Events ministry and all of our witnessing takes place at events. The definition of an event by the founder of SOS Events ministry is “An event is when you get up in the morning.”

Everyday is another opportunity to witness. Young mother at home with small children, witness to someone on the phone or a neighbor or delivery man. Student, witness to your unsaved fellow students. Business man or woman, you have many opportunities to witness as you work (make sure you do not do it on the boss’s time). Elderly, even in a nursing home you have people around you to witness to for the Lord.

Today is an event. Give someone a tract, tell someone your testimony or use the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” approach which takes less than 2 minutes. Make today your special event.

Opportunities

May 20, 2026

I was privileged to speak to a wonderful ladies luncheon, for Stonecroft ministries.

My daughter Graceanne had a demonstration of colors before I spoke. The music was beautiful. Lisa Echols sing the song “No More Night”. At the end of my testimony I always give everyone an opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior. This is a monthly luncheon that takes place the 3rd Tuesday of every month.

If your church or group would like to have me speak, I do have some open dates on my calendar. Have car, (or plane) will travel.

Declare his glory among all people. Psalm 96:3

Missed Opportunity!

April 23, 2026

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and felt that quiet nudge in your heart—you could have said something about Jesus, but didn’t? You’re not alone. Many of us have missed those moments. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes uncertainty, and sometimes we simply don’t recognize the opportunity until it’s gone.

But the Lord is gracious. He doesn’t give us just one chance—He gives us many. Each day brings new opportunities to shine His light. The key is to keep our hearts ready. When we stay close to Him, His Spirit gently prompts us, and He will even give us the words to say.

Don’t dwell on yesterday’s missed moment. Instead, ask the Lord today, “Help me be ready.” The next opportunity might be just around the corner—and what a joy it is to point someone to the hope we have in Jesus.

New Event For SOS!

March 20, 2026

On Wednesday, SOS Events had a new event that is an opportunity to become a weekly event.

Liberty Baptist Church in Plant City has Food Bank every week and invited SOS Events to come and present the 3 Things God Can Not Do.

It was a great success! 21 people prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior.

Praise the Lord for this new opportunity. Volunteers are needed. Please pray for this weekly event.

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;” Matthew 9:37 KJV

New Opportunity In Alabama!

March 12, 2026

This church is Milltown Baptist Church in Lafayette, Alabama. They already have their first event planned the first weekend in April.

Please pray for their training that many will come and get excited about winning people to the Lord at the event.

Pray for Beth and Wes as they travel for the training and then as they go back to help at the first event for this community.

Praise the Lord for this opportunity!

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 1 John 5:14

The Strawberry Festival Has Passed The Halfway Point!

March 4, 2026

Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida has surpassed the half way mark! Five more days to go.

There have been 120 decisions up until yesterday! Praise the Lord!

Please join me in prayer for the rest of this event, that people will be saved, volunteers will be filled with the spirit, and that the remaining shifts will be filled.

We still have empty opportunities for volunteers, especially the evening shifts and all day on Sunday.

A true witness delivereth souls: Proverbs 14:25a

Opportunity!

Some of the office staff went to the vendor appreciation dinner at the Plant City Strawberry Festival last evening.

Every year the vendors are blessed with a great meal and a big strawberry shortcake.

SOS Events has been blessed to have a booth in the festival for over 20 years. Over 6000 people have trusted Jesus as their Savior.

The festival starts Thursday and we still have some vacant slots for volunteers. If you have been trained or would like a quick training, and want to sign up to have a part in this great opportunity, please call the home office today. 813-494-7512.

God will bless you as you obey the great commission. Go and tell.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

The Great Commission!

February 20, 2026
Strawberry Festival 2025

Jesus gave His followers a clear mission—to go, to teach, and to reach others with the hope of the Gospel. The Great Commission was not only for the disciples long ago; it is for each of us today. Every conversation, every smile, and every act of kindness becomes an opportunity to reflect Christ’s love.

As SOS Events Ministry prepares to serve at the Strawberry Festival, this is more than volunteering—it is ministry. When you greet visitors, assist families, or simply offer encouragement, you are living out the command of Jesus to “go.” You become a light in a place where someone may need hope, prayer, or direction.

You do not go alone. Jesus promised, “I am with you alway.” He goes before you, works through you, and touches hearts because of your willingness to serve.

Next week, as the festival begins, consider answering His call. Your hands can serve, your words can encourage, and your presence can point someone to Christ. The harvest is ready—and God is calling willing servants.

Will you go?

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:19&20

SOS Events Training!

October 8, 2025

Bob and Ginger Hansill opened their home for a SOS Events training. This was special as John, Pastor of Garden Grove Church in Winter Haven, Florida, along with Richard drove to Lakeland to be trained to do events.

Sometimes there are many people at a training and other times one or two. Every trading is important. These 2 men can start a whole new Florida Team and many more opportunities for people to be saved.

Please pray for them as well as SOS Events trainers. Time is short and people need salvation.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 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. 2 Corinthians 6:1&2
