One of SOS Events Leaders, Wes, had to be in the hospital last week with back surgery.
Not wanting to waste an opportunity to witness, his wife, Beth made sure they had the “3 Things God Can Not Do” tracts with them to hand out to the hospital staff.
One of the girls who brought Wes his lunch was given a tract. Later that day, Wes was released to go home. Beth decided to take some things to the car but got confused and didn’t know which door to the parking garage.
As she was looking for the right door, it opened and there was Kathryn, the girl that brought Wes his lunch.
Kathryn told Beth that the tract was just what she needed. Then Beth took time to lead Kathryn to the Lord.
What a wonderful blessing to turn a hospital stay into an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus.
1 Peter 3:15 – But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Seth Age 15 He saved me so I can go to heaven and I am 100% now.
Judah Age 10 He invited me to his kingdom to come when I die physically but live spiritually.
David Age 15 Help me realize that he can change my life. But I have to be patient sometimes I’m impatient so I have to truly believe and give my life to him.
Abby Age 8 Jesus saved me and it makes me feel better and safe and it makes me feel locked up in Jesus’ arms.
It is so great to read the testimonies from people who come into the SOS Events Ministry booth and make a decision to follow the Lord. These are actual words from decision cards at an event recently.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
The following testimony is a true Thanksgiving story of a new great grandchild of Carolyn Curtis, written by her granddaughter in law, Nicole. Anyone who has had a problem waiting on God will benefit from this testimony of God’s perfect plan.
“I just want to start out by saying thank you to every single one of you that have shared this roller coaster journey of ours! It is overwhelming how blessed we are and how lucky we are to have such great and supportive family and friends. I know I couldn’t have done this without you all. Some of you know that Danny and I have been trying to have children of our own for a while, and you know everything that we have been through with that. And when you hear people say ,”Oh it will happen” and “God has a plan” it’s not something you want to hear when you have a plan and things aren’t going your way! I wanted kids, a whole bunch of them, and I wanted them right then. When things were not going as I had planned it was very discouraging. I was sad and mad and thought,” Why is this happening to us”! I just wanted a baby. I saw all these people that shouldn’t be reproducing and they have like seven kids. What is going on??! What did I do to be punished like this? I am usually a very happy person and I like to have fun and I hate being miserable! Danny was great through the whole thing, very supportive and always there. I really felt like he didn’t know exactly what I was going through. I wanted to be a Mom. I felt like part of my purpose was to have kids, to be a stay at home Mom with them. I mean for career day at school I went as a stay at home Mom with twins! Of course I was negative and bitter in my head. Mostly I didn’t want anyone to see how I was struggling with this. I am a happy positive person! But I was so tired of being miserable, sad, and mad. I couldn’t do it anymore. Why am I trying to do this by myself?! So one night I started reading my Bible and praying for hours. It was like a huge weight had lifted off of me. Why in the world did I not do this sooner? I was so focused on my plan not working like I wanted that I didn’t even stop and think ,wait a minute what is God’s plan for me? I am not even kidding from that night on I haven’t felt angry or bitter, of course there were more times where I thought, what is going and what is your plan? I tried to be positive and just kept reminding myself God has a plan. Years had passed and it seemed like it was bad news after bad news. Things not working out and I thought ok God what now because I am not sure how much more of this I can take! Well let me tell you He sure started making his plan known! We decided that we were going to adopt. We started that process and were about to head into the next stage when we got a very important phone call!!! Once again the plans changed. But the phone call was asking us if we wanted to adopt a little boy named Moses. That was God’s plan all along and we had to just wait on the perfect child for us!! We brought Moses home at the end of September 2017 and started the processes of adopting. (And how that all worked out is another long story by itself!) So God’s plan to put Moses in our life was worth everything that we went through and definitely worth the wait!! He is an answer to our prayers and we are so blessed!!! Thank God for keeping me strong through it all and I know this would not have been possible without Him. Now here on November 20th We finally get to say
Welcome Moses Slater to your forever family!”
Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
How can we have faith in God when our world seems to be falling apart? Disappointment, illness, accidents and many things happen in our lives to make our faith waver.
Faith is knowing that God is in control. Trusting Him even when we cannot understand why things are going so wrong. God does not promise Christians a trouble free life, what He does promise is that He is with us every step of the way. He will and He does work things out for our good.
You may ask me how I know. Today, I can Praise the Lord for taking me through the death of 2 sons, a grandchild and 2 Godly husbands and other trials and heartaches. God has never left me or forsaken me but always brings what I need when I need it. He uses those things in my life to bring encouragement to others. That is what faith in God does for me and He will do the same for you if you have faith in Him. The evidence of things unseen. Carolyn Curtis
Dena had been wanting God to show her that when someone gets saved with SOS Events Ministry they grow in the Lord. A few minutes after she expressed this wish to one of our other workers along came Bryan. Bryan is a 12-year-old boy from Beech Bluff, Tennessee. Dena was blessed to share the ABC’s of salvation with Bryan at the Talladega Raceway in April 2017 where he accepted Jesus as his Savior. Bryan and his family returned to Talladega in October 2017. They came by our SOS Events booth to visit and tell Bryan’s story. When he returned home in April, he went to talk with his pastor. Bryan was baptized on Father’s Day. His grandparents attended the special occasion and one month later his grandfather went home to be with the Lord. We are so thankful to God for sending Brian back to us. What a blessing to Dena and the SOS Events team.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Sometimes problems turn out yo be a great blessing. Carolyn Curtis’s office was filled with mold and mildew from a roof leak after the severe rains. The roof leaked and damage went unnoticed for several weeks because the water was coming into the interior walls and did not show other damage. The roof is now fixed, the mold and mildew gone, everything is like new even the beautiful office furniture (bought on Craig’s list). A nice place to welcome visitors and continue the work that Carolyn does for SOS Events Ministry. God is so good. Praise the Lord for turning this problem into a blessing.
Psalms 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
This is Alice. She is a vital part of SOS Events Ministry. She loves her Lord and Savior, Jesus and especially loves working at the ministry office. A dedicated wife, mother and grandmother, she goes out of her way to make sure they are taken care of. One of the things she does weekly is the Plant City Flea Market where she consistently wins people to the Lord. She is responsible for scheduling of all events in Florida and beyond, takes care of printing and mailing letters for SOS Events and is always willing to do whatever is needed to keep the ministry growing. When she gets to Heaven she will hear, well done thou faithful servant.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Beka is a talented young woman who has worked for SOS Events for several years, in the office and as traveling companion to Carolyn Curtis for the last year. God has now given Beka a new direction in her life. A desire to become a pilot. Please pray for her as she studies and works toward her goal. We will miss her in the office but know that God can use her in a great way.
Proverbs 3:5&6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Our trip to China was exciting and wonderful, but the one thing that stuck in my mind was the visit to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It was very beautiful but sad at the same time. Hundreds of people coming to worship and leave gifts to the image of Buddha. China is a Country with millions of people who do not even know who Jesus is. Pray for the salvation the people of China. Carolyn Curtis
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
41 years ago I trusted the Lord as my Savior. Salvation is freely offered. It has been paid for through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. All you have to do is admit you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died for you and that he is giving you this opportunity to trust in him, then call on Him to come into your life. John 3:16 says,For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Romans 3:23 tells us that For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 5:8, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And Romans 10:9 says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. That is a promise from God.
