This is a photo of the SOS Events booth at Big Top Flea Market. There are empty chairs in this photo. Today they need to be filled with people who need the Lord. Pray with us that many will come to Jesus today and tomorrow at this weekly event.
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.
Great things happen when witnessing at events. One of the favorite events is Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. The following story is from that event in 2008.
One exciting thing happened with two young boys who came in the booth to be saved. As Tom was filling out the card (we get name, address, age, phone # and a short testimony from each person who makes a decision) the 2 boys came back, each one holding the arm of their mother. One of the boys actually pushed his mother into a chair so Tom could tell her and their father how to get to Heaven. Both Mom & Dad received Christ and what a joyful time that was for this family of 4.
You can participate in the event by praying for SOS. Pray for souls and for workers. The 11 day event opens next week February 26.
Matthew 9:38
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.”
R. A. Torrey 1856-1928
This quote was accurate 100 years ago, how much truer it is today. Are you too busy to pray? Lack power in your life? What about your church?
It is the command to every Christian and every church to win people to Christ but it cannot be done without the Holy Spirit power, which comes from prayer.
Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Pastor Jose and wife Maria with Tom at SOS office Thursday evening. This Pastor is an answer to prayer. His first language is Spanish and speaks English fairly well.
He has a small Hispanic church and wants to win souls at a flea market in Lakeland, Florida.
Once again God is sending people to expand the ministry and win souls to Himself. There is a great need in this area as there is a large Spanish population. Pray for Pastor Jose and his members that they will be successful as they witness for Christ.
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Begin 2015 by thanking the Lord for the blessings of the past and start today with prayer and Bible study. When your everyday begins with the Lord it will be a blessed year no matter what the circumstances.
Happy New Year from all the staff at SOS Events.
Proverbs 8:17
I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early shall find me.

1 Thessalonians 5:25
Brethren, pray for us.
October is a very busy month for SOS Events and our staff, trainers and workers at events and we need prayer. Alabama National Fair, Talladega Race in AL, Harvest Hayride in NJ, Rodeo in FL, several Halloween events nationwide, plus the weekly Flea Markets and monthly Car Show.
Our workers get tired and they do more than double duty this time of year.
Also, the devil does not like soul winning so he will try all kinds of tactics to keep our workers occupied with other things.
More laborers are needed in all areas.
You are invited everyday to call Tom at (813)784-8242 and that invitation is open today, but if you are a person that knows how to pray please remember SOS laborers this month especially. Thank you and may God richly bless you.
Luke 10:2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few:pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
“Another day has not yet passed, today do some thing that will always last.”
T.W.C.
This is a quote from SOS founder, Tom Curtis. He is one of the hardest, most dedicated workers for the Lord that I know. He is now getting older and because of some physical problems can’t get out to witness which is his desire. He does keep busy by praying for others.
If you would like him to pray for you call him at 813-784-8242 or email
tom@sosevents.org and he will lift your needs to the Lord.
James 5:16
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
I asked GOD for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of GOD.
I asked for all things , that I might enjoy life
I was given life,that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for —–
But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were
Answered
I am among all men, most richly blessed.
Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
