Awesome God

August 16, 2015

Psalms 33:8Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

On the Lord’s Day, He deserves all worship and praise. We serve an awesome God.

Awesome is a word we attribute to God and we should. It also has become a word that we use when we like something or feel that a person is extra special in our lives. 

Sometimes a Christian will admonish another for using the word awesome if they are not speaking of God, but the dictionary does not define that word to describe God only.

The Bible does not even have the word awesome in it and there are only three verses in the whole Bible that has the word awe. Let us love one another and not be critical of another Christian. We are to love the Lord with all our heart and our neighbor as ourselves.

So today let us worship our “Awesome” God in spirit and in truth.

Psalms 145:10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

Honor Police Officers 

June 10, 2015

Yesterday, Tom got stopped by a policeman. We wondered what we were doing wrong. We were not speeding, we were obeying all the traffic rules we thought. He told us to pull over and stop and we obeyed.

Thinking he would give us a ticket for something, we were concerned, however, he came up and said, ” Sir, do you know you have no taillights?”

We did not know. He checked Tom’s license and said, “Go and get them fixed.”

We immediately went to Pep Boys and the lights were fixed right away.

The point in telling this story is to say that we appreciate our police officers. In a time that some people are causing riots because policemen are doing their jobs, we law abiding citizens need to stand up for our policemen.

We did not get the officer’s name but thank him for helping us to maybe avoid an accident.

1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Praise The Lord 

June 5, 2015

Praise the Lord that the blog is up on the new website. Check out the interaction on the homepage. Pray with us at SOS EVENTS that many unsaved people will be curious about the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and be saved. Also, tell your friends to check it out. 

Psalms 106:1

Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord;

for he is good:

for his mercy endureth for ever.

God’s Faithfulness 

May 15, 2015

As founders of SOS Events Ministry, Tom and I are so grateful to the faithful workers and volunteers who continue to do the work of the ministry when we are not able to be in the office or at events because of Tom’s health problems.

God’s work continues, souls are getting saved and the ministry is growing and will continue to flourish because of the great staff, Board of Directors, office workers and volunteers that God has used to keep everything running smoothly. A good example is the 17 souls that made decisions to follow JESUS at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. Pictured below is Randy with 2 boys who were saved at the Flea Market.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

  

Spanish Bibles

May 8, 2015

Thanks to all of you who prayed for SOS Events to find Spanish Bibles at a reasonable cost. One case (24) was delivered yesterday and a gentleman donated funds for that case and 2 more. We are thankful to God’s people for supplying the need.

The Spanish ministry in Florida is growing. Pastor Romono and his group are winning many souls to the Lord every weekend and on Wednesdays the Plant City Flea market has many Hispanics saved also. 

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

  

SOS Spanish Ministry

April 26, 2015

Pastor Romero with 2 Spanish converts. The Spanish ministry with SOS is flourishing under the direction of Pastor Romero. He and his team go to the Lakeland Flea Market on Sundays. In the last 2 weeks over 30 people have been saved.

He reported yesterday that a man offered to pay the fee for the Flea Market each Sunday and another offered to buy 3 cases of Spanish Bibles. Answers to prayer. There is also a need for funds for a concession trailer for the Hispanic ministry. Please pray for this dedicated Pastor as he works to win souls.

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
 

Giving

April 10, 2015

It is so exciting when the mail comes in after the monthly newsletter has gone out. Usually there are many envelopes ready to be opened from SOS Events supporters.

This month there has been many blessings in the mail. First the regular supporters who are faithful to send an offering every month. Some of them have been supporting SOS Events since the ministry was founded in 2001. The faithfulness of these supporters is so appreciated. Without regular support the ministry would not have grown to what it is today and would not be able to continue.

Then there are people who love to give to projects. If there is a need, these people like to designate to the need. This month there were several mentioned. Funds for materials for building a paint shop, a new printer, traveling expenses for missionaries to go to the Talledega Races, individual support for new missionaries and several other requests.

As the mail keeps coming in many of the special requests have been met. One family sent an additional offering along with their monthly support through PayPal. A church donated a used printer that is better than any SOS Events could afford. Another person sent a check to help with traveling expenses. One special needs supporter gave SOS access to their account with a printing company to get banners printed for our missionaries. (A need that was not even mentioned in the newsletter). One of the local pastors donated some new lumber to help with the paint shop project. God uses people to meet the needs of the ministry and first Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. Then a big Thank You to every supporter who love to see souls come to Christ and gives. Every gift is a blessing and is used with the goal of seeing more people come to know JESUS.

If you would like to give click the donate button on the home page and all the information is there for you. God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

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.

Happy Birthday

October 29, 2014

Today is Tom Curtis’ birthday. He is 78 years old. His life has been a life of joys and hardships. In 1980 he was saved after the death of his son, Nick.
Nick was playing at home with friends when a gasoline can tipped over and another kid through a match at him. He was burned over 80% of his body and lived for 3 months. The last day of Nick’s life he asked his Dad this question, “Dad, do you know Jesus Christ personally?”
Tom answered, “Nick, there is no way to know Jesus, He is dead.”
Nick replied, “Dad, I know Him.” And that was the last words Nick spoke, he died.
Tom was a broken man. Nine years later he was invited to church and heard the Gospel for the first time and was saved.
Tom has followed the Lord faithfully since that day and has been a successful businessman, father, grandfather, husband and friend to many.
His heart’s desire has been to be a witness to everyone he meets and together with his wife founded SOS Events Ministry.
Thousands of souls have been saved through Tom’s life and ministry.
Happy Birthday, Tom. May God continue to bless you.
If you would like to talk to Tom he is always ready to listen and pray for you. Call him at 813-784-8242.

Psalms 112:1
Praise ye the Lord.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
