Those of us who live in the path of Ian a strong hurricane are thankful for God’s protection. Many have lost power, including some of our staff and volunteers of SOS Events Ministry.
Please continue to pray for the cleanup crews and that those who are still expecting damage as this storm moves northward, those who have lost homes and property.
Today, be thankful for your Pastor and pray for him. Every Pastor has a difficult job with many decisions and heartaches.
Pray for Holy Spirit power in their lives.
Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
The secret to having your prayers answered is found in this verse from God’s Word.
To abide in Jesus daily requires dependence upon the Holy Spirit in which we do three things: Walk by faith. Spend focused time. Engage in intentional actions.
To have your prayers answered, you must abide in Jesus.
“Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:”
2 Thessalonians 1:11 KJV
Pray for your Pastor today. Especially as he preaches. That he may have the power of the Holy Spirit, that people would be convicted of sin and that the unsaved will see their need for the Savior, Jesus.
Today cofounder of SOS Events Ministry, Carolyn Curtis, will fly from Florida to Michigan to speak to a group of Christians about SOS Events.
Then will go to speak to a Pastor about the ministry. All this will take place tomorrow with the expectation of getting a new team of SOS Events volunteers in the state of Michigan.
Please pray that the people are receptive and will be excited to win souls with SOS Events. Also, for the health and safety as Carolyn travels.
Thank you for your prayers.
Have you tried to contact someone who does not answer the phone, email or text? It can be so frustrating, especially if it is important to you.
Communication is vital in a relationship, marriage, family, friendship or business.
There is One who is always willing to communicate with you. God is a prayer away and He is always listening for your call. He answers every call.
Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
This is the final true story of children’s answers to prayer, however, there are many more that could be shared as God delights in the simple faith of children.
When Tom’s daughter, Allison, was small she was excited to go to the fireworks on 4th of July. Not wanting to disappoint her Tom drove to the busy park where the fireworks were to be displayed. There was not a parking place to be had in that crowded area that evening. He circled round several times without success.
Alison told her Dad that Jesus would find them a parking place. Tom looked in the rear view mirror and watched as Allison prayed this prayer, “Dear Jesus, my Daddy needs a parking place. Would you please give him one.”
Just then a man knocked on the window and asked Tom if he had any children in the car. Tom answered, “Yes, my daughter.”
The man said, “Every year we save a parking place for someone with a child, pull under our carport.” God hears and answers prayer.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Carolyn had lost her necklace that Tom had given her for a wedding gift. After searching everywhere she feared the necklace had been lost on a trip they took to Tennesee. She was upset about loosing this special gift and told her daughter of the loss.
Beka, Carolyn’s granddaughter, who was only about 3 years old, heard about it she decided to pray that Grandma’s neck-a-lace would be found.
Carolyn was resting and looked in the full length mirror in the motor home where she lived, and saw a shiny reflection on the floor against the bed. The area had been vacuumed and nothing had been there there, but looking closer, there it was. The prized necklace. Immediately she called Beka to thank her for her prayers. The neck-a-lace had been found. Once again God answered a child’s prayer.
Jeremiah 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you

What do these 3 things have in common? They are all answers to a child’s prayer. For the next three days you will be able to find out how God answers prayer of a little child.
When Diana’s son, Anthony, was very young he went shopping with his Mom. It is typical for a child to want something at a store and he saw this beautiful balloon. He wanted it but money was short then and Diana told him they didn’t have money for the balloon.
“Why don’t you ask Jesus for the balloon?” his mother told him. So Anthony prayed and did ask Jesus for the balloon.
When the mail came there was a letter from Diana’s Mom with one dollar in it. Just enough for Anthony’s balloon. They went and brought the balloon. A little boy’s prayer was answered even before he asked because the letter was mailed days before.
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Please pray for Joe! He is a leader in New York State who really needs many more team members for SOS Events.
This week he has a booth at the Orleans County Fair. Most of the time he will be working alone. He needs the Holy Spirit’s power, wisdom and strength.
Pray many people will have open minds and hearts to hear the gospel and be saved.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
