The blessings of answered prayer. Nicky,the physical therapist that Tom led to the Lord a few weeks ago, came into the house all excited yesterday.
On his last visit Nicky was worried he had no one to care for his small daughter on the Friday after Thanksgiving as both he and his wife had to work. Tom prayed that someone would be found to watch her for free.
The answer: Nicky’s sister called him and asked if she could please watch the little girl for the day as she wanted to spend more time with her niece. Nicky then realize that that was a direct answer to prayer and is so happy in his new Christian life.
God answers prayer. He loves it when we are specific in our requests because then there is no doubt that it is Him that brings the blessing.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

I needed a glass insert for my microwave as it had gotten broken. Guests are coming and it was needed right away. No time to order one from the manufacturing company. What to do? Pray and ask for wisdom to find one.
Lighthouse, a local thrift store, came to mind when I prayed. When I entered the store, the first thing I saw was Tom, one of SOS Events workers, with a 3 Things God Can Not Do display board witnessing to people. He was talking and I did not want to interrupt so I asked a store worker for help to find my insert. There was only one in the store and she pointed it out to me. These inserts are hard to find and sell out immediately she told me.
Now Tom was not busy so I stopped to talk to him. Noticing that his display board could use some repair, I went to the car for a replacement that we had in the trunk for another event but had not needed. When I returned with the new display, Tom was talking to a lady who was interested in SOS Events. We exchanged information and a new opportunity for SOS Events to go to a children’s home where the woman worked, to speak and teach young people about Jesus.
An appointed time. Had I not listened to that still small voice and gone to Lighthouse I would have missed a great opportunity for SOS Events.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

“Our country’s in great need of a spiritual awakening. There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.” Billy Graham
It is time Christians look around and weep and pray for their country. There are many people from countries other than America who read this blog, and at SOS Events we are thankful for each one who takes the time to read and follow. Today we did not limit the burden for the USA only but for every nation in the world.
Christian, the best thing you can do for your country is to pray and tell everyone you can about Jesus and His love. We can make a change in lives, one soul at a time.
Luke 19:41 And when he (Jesus) was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Halloween has many traditions dating back over 2000 years. What originally came from superstition and festivals to keep away evil spirits has now become in America a time for displays of witches, goblins and scary things. Children go from house to house saying “Trick or Treat” and older teens sometimes will soap windows or litter a yard with toilet paper.
SOS Events uses this day on October 31st to win people to the Lord. Tomorrow SOS team members and volunteers will be working at 9 events just around our area in Florida. Many people will be given the gospel and your prayers for the lost souls are greatly appreciated.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Tom Curtis is always a witness for the Lord. Myra is a sweet young woman who is in housekeeping at the hospital. True to form Tom witnessed to her when he first got to the hospital. She trusted in Jesus and was excited to learn she would get a Bible study in the mail in a week or two.
The wait for his surgery was several hours and while sitting in the waiting room Myra saw me and came over to give me a hug. She was still talking about her salvation and wanted to be sure she sees Tom before he is released to go home.
Please continue to pray for him as recovery is not going as well as we would like.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Two of SOS Events personnel are having surgery today. Tom Curtis, founder and President of the ministry, for bypass in his legs to get better circulation to his feet and David Dow, display maker and maintenance man, for cataracts.
Both would appreciate your prayers. Pray specifically for wisdom for the surgeons, successful operations and quick recovery for both men.
Modern technology is wonderful but we know who the Great Healer is, Jesus.
We will have an update tomorrow and thank you for your prayers.
Matthew 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:

Thomas Jefferson was concerned about our country over 200 years ago. What would he think now? If you have not joined us in prayer for America at 9 PM every evening please start today.
Many of you who read our blog everyday live in other countries and it is not only the USA that needs prayer but every country in the world. You could start a prayer group for your country. Don’t wait.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting

On Tuesdays the office staff of SOS Events has a short meeting to discuss the needs of the ministry and the personal prayer requests of the staff and others who may have called or emailed a prayer requests.
Yesterday, God answered two prayers within 3 hours of that meeting. Diana, our office manager, was concerned about her daughter Dana who has a busy schedule. Dana is in nursing school and has some tests scheduled for today and tomorrow. The concern was that the house Dana and her husband purchased did not close last week when it was scheduled and the closing kept getting changed. It seemed like it was going to interfere with Dana’s tests. Within two hours of the prayers in God’s perfect timing Dana called and the closing was before the day was out. Also, there were no classes yesterday. Perfect timing.
Tom, founder of SOS Events, has been praying for more opportunities to teach evangelism to students of all ages. The prayer request was brought before the Lord in our meeting and in the early afternoon a man, who Tom had only met briefly several years ago, came into the office and offered an opportunity to teach evangelism at a Bible Institute for the spring semester. There will be more about this awesome answer to prayer in the near future when the plans are finalized.
God answers prayer. He is there waiting for us to ask and delights in answering the prayers of His children.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

John R. Rice was tremendous preacher many years ago. He wrote songs, books, and tracts. One of his books is “Prayer, Asking and Receiving.” The following quote is one way to help you know how to pray and get your prayers answered.
If you surrender yourself, and do not rush, but meditate on the Word of God, you will find prayer forming in your heart. It is a prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit, a prayer that God will be pleased to hear. John R. Rice
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
