Pastors Need Prayer

April 3, 2016

“Don’t put your Pastor on a pedestal where he can be knocked off, put him on your prayer list where he can be lifted up.”

Today most of us will be going to church to worship our Savior, and the Pastor has the responsibility to feed his flock, preach to the unsaved and lift up the broken-hearted. He needs your prayers. Pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit on your Pastor today. Put your Pastor’s name at the end of the following verse:

Romans 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Opening Day

March 3, 2016

  
Florida Strawberry Festival opens today. Please pray for many souls to be saved in the next 11 days. Many thanks to the staff of SOS Events ministry who have worked endless hours to make the booth beautiful, trained volunteers, made phone calls and worked diligently to get ready for this event. 

It takes months of preparation and prayer to get ready for the Festival each year but the hard work is all to bring people to realize that they need to be saved and on their way to Heaven. Please join with us in prayer for many to be saved today and throughout the next eleven days.

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.

Asking for Prayer

March 1, 2016

There are many of you who are blessed through the blog and today I am asking for your help. Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Evevts ministry has been fighting to recover from surgery since mid October 2015. Three of the incisions have not healed on his left leg. He is in need of prayer for healing. One doctor has operated twice and we need to have a different opinion and it becomes a difficult situation because doctors do not like to take over another doctor’s patient. We know that Jesus is the true healer and He can bring healing quickly through our prayers.

Tom is the most dedicated soul winner, leader, husband, father and friend and he is needed in the ministry as well as on the home front. Please pray for him today even if it is just one time right now. God does answer prayer of His children.

James 5:16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Full Schedule?

February 29, 2016

Monday morning and you look at your calendar for the week and wonder how you will get everything done. The days are full, the schedule is overwhelming  and your energy is lacking. First, stop and take a few minutes to pray and seek God’s wisdom and help and your day will be better. You will get through this week and when you look back you can Praise the Lord that He was with you through this busy time. Remember those minutes you spend with Him makes everyday go smoothly.

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Pastors Need Prayer

February 28, 2016

“Don’t put your Pastor on a pedestal where he can get knocked off, put him on your prayer list where he can be lifted up.”

Today as you go to church pray for your pastor. He needs the power of the Holy Spirit and encouragement. D. L. Moody became a powerful evangelist because as he preached he had a group of people praying for him and thousands of people were saved though his ministry.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 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:

Tired of Answering Machines?

February 27, 2016

Have you made a phone call that is answered but a computer? This is an example of a church answering message: if you want to speak to the pastor press 1, for the assistant pastor press 2, youth director press 3, prayer requests press 4. And on it goes. 

Then when you get to the person you want this is the next message: Sorry, I am not at my desk right now, leave your number and I will return your call as soon as possible.

This is scenario is repeated in businesses, doctors offices almost any large company that you are trying to contact. Usually the call is unsuccessful or there is a long wait until you reach someone to help you.

There is One Person that you have a direct line to, that is always on call and that is God. He is always ready to listen and will always hear your requests. He never slumbers nor sleeps and is with you 24/7. What a wonderful Savior!

 Jeremiah 33:3  Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Are You in the Royal Family?

February 26, 2016

The theme for the Florida Strawberry Fesival this year is “Royal Fun for Everyone”. The SOS Events booth will have a banner asking, Are You In The Royal Family? 

Hopefully that will get the attention of people who are unsaved and their curiosity will bring them to the booth and our volunteers will explain the plan of salvation.

We love to get pictures of the new converts and this year they will wear a crown under a sign that says, I’m a child of the King. Our King is the Lord Jesus and please join us in prayer for the hundreds of people that pass by the booth. Pray the the Holy Spirit will draw them in and their hearts will be ready to accept Him as their Savior.

The Festival starts next week, March 3-March 13 but it is not to early to pray. Many will be saved and we will share the good news with you.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Prayer Requests

February 24, 2016

Some days are busier than others. Today, SOS Events ministry has many things going on at the same time and could use the prayers of everyone who reads the blog.

The Wednesday morning Flea Market in Plant City, Fl will be having people witnessing. Need prayers for the workers and especially that souls will be saved.

In the home office there is a training scheduled for people who want to learn to win souls. Pray for the teacher and future soul winners.

Also, the Strawberry Festival booth needs to be cleaned and decorated today for that event that begins next week. Two of our faithful workers will be doing that task this morning. Strawberry Festival  lasts for eleven days, twelve hours per day and the booth has to have twelve workers per day. There is still a need for workers and the office staff is working diligently to fill each slot with phone calls and emails. Prayer needed for workers and souls to be saved at this event.

The devil always tries to stop soul winning events and SOS Events founder Tom Curtis is having some health issues which require many doctor appointments at this busy time of year, which hinders Carolyn, his wife and himself for full attention to the ministry. He needs your prayers for complete healing of a wound on his left leg so they can put their energy into what they love, soul winning.

The Bible says to pray for one another and we ask that you bring these requests to God for us especially today and we will give God all the glory for the great answers to your prayers.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Pray for Our Military 

January 11, 2016

 
This is a photo of young adults in the Army training to protect our Country. In this photo the young man on the right lower corner is Tom and Carolyn Curtis grandson.

Pray for our military. Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines. These men and women need prayer for protection as they serve all over the world. Also, pray for them to hear the Gospel and that the Christians in the military will be witnesses for Christ to their fellow servicemen.

2 Timothy 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
