At the Flea Market yesterday, just one Salvation was recorded. The following story is an example of the SOS Events volunteer that goes to an event. That volunteer is like the little boy and the starfish is the person who trusted Jesus as their Savior. One life is saved and on the way to Heaven and the volunteer makes a big difference in that individual’s life.
“One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.”
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”.
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”
“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”
Luke 15:7 KJV
Great day at Lee County Flea Market sharing Christ with SOS Events Ministry!! We had to overcome some obstacles the enemy tried to throw at us but our God was bigger!! We were blessed with 7 people accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior and planted a lot of seeds with 375 tracts being handed out and 234 people coming in front of “3 Things God Cannot Do” board to be presented to. We had several people come by to encourage us and share their story with us and a young man pray for us . The Lord was glorified throughout the day and His presence was felt as we shared the Gospel. There were 3 others who were not ready to surrender their lives to Christ today but they will be prayed for as God waters the seeds that were planted. Thank you to Wes and Beth Walker, John Balint and Carl Norton for their faithfulness to this life saving ministry.
Many people stop by the SOS Events booth at Strawberry Festival. This is the Strawberry Festival Queen, Kendall Gaudens, with her Court. Today we ask you to pray for the next five days for all the people who walk by the booth that they will stop, look and listen to the gospel and be make a decision to follow Jesus.
Candles are a tradition of Christmas. Before electricity they were used to light Christmas trees, as well as light for the home after dark. Today, we use them as decorations. We scent them with Christmas smells, pine, peppermint and others to make our homes smell like Christmas.
