Rejoicing in Time of Trouble

May 11, 2015

One of Tom Curtis’s favorite verse is Romans 8:28. Being in the hospital is not always the most pleasant experiences, but Tom is not ever going to let an occasion to witness pass him by.

One of the nurses, a woman from Jamaca originally, was taking care of him and he asked her if she had ever invited JESUS to save her. This was after they had talked about the Lord at length.

She replied that she knew about JESUS but never had trusted Him to save her. In that hospital room, Roxanne, bowed her head repented of her sin and ask the Lord to forgive her. There is rejoicing, even in circumstances that are not easy.

Please pray for Tom as he is a diabetic and has a circulation problem in his feet that may require surgery. Also, he is scheduled for his heart pacemaker to be changed, but that will probably be put on hold until his foot heals. JESUS is the great physician and can heal. Thank you for your prayers for him.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The Lost Necklace

March 15, 2015

Have you ever lost something that is precious to you?

My husband had given me a beautiful ruby necklace as an engagement present that I treasured. We had been traveling and living in a motor home and had just returned to Florida from Tennesee, when I realized my necklace was gone.

I was so upset, looked everywhere, in the car, swept the floor of the motor home, Prayed that the Lord would help me find it. My little grandaughter, then 2 years old said, “Grandma, I will pray you find your neck-a-lace.”

The next morning I awoke, looked in the mirror and saw a reflection of something shinny beside the bed. I reached down and picked up my necklace in a place I had swept before. God answers prayer. I rejoiced and immediately called my little granddaughter to tell her that God had answered her prayer.

Much more rejoicing over a sinner that repents the Bible tells us in Luke. Witnessing to people and giving them opportunity to repent and be saved is the main goal of SOS Events ministry. You can become a part of winning the lost. Email info@sosevents.org or call Tom 813-784-8242.

Luke 15:8-10 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

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.

Pray for SOS

February 20, 2015

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.

Too Busy

February 3, 2015

“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,

Answer to Prayer

January 30, 2015

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.
