Plan “B”

April 7, 2025

When you have something planned for an event, party, or celebration and something happens just before that is unexpected, do you have a “plan B”? That means you have something to replace the thing that went wrong.

SOS Events did not have a plan B for the Annual Celebration that took place on Saturday.

Plans were made, programs printed. The Charisma Trio was coming to sing. On Friday that all changed. The Trio could not come.

The staff was decorating for the event when the sad news came. What to do? Pray. Then get together and come up with a plan.

That evening, the pianist, Sandy, opened her home and the newly formed quartet met for the first time for a short practice and the SOS Singers were formed.

They did a wonderful job especially because they had never sung together before.

God gave a wonderful blessing. The Annual Celebration was a great success.

When you don’t have a “Plan B” in your life, pray and trust the LORD to direct and things will turn out even better than your plan.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5&6

Getting Ready For SOS Events Annual Celebration!

April 4, 2025

This photo is from SOS Events Annual Celebration last year. Today, the staff will go over to the venue and prepare for the Celebration which takes place tomorrow.

Many leaders, volunteers, and friends of SOS will be there. If you signed up to come, we will be happy to see you.

If you are going to miss it this year, look forward to next year.

What do we celebrate? First and most important, are the people who have trusted Jesus this past year. God allows us to be a part of thousands of people every year who got saved through the ministry.

Second, we celebrate the wonderful volunteers and supporters who give of their time, talent and finances to make winning souls possible.

This yearly celebration is fun and something we look forward to, but there is even a greater celebration that nobody should want to miss.

That is the celebration we will have when we get to Heaven and celebrate with the LORD Jesus.

Are you ready?

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:9

Dover Rod Run A Great Success

March 31, 2025

God blessed SOS Events on Saturday with 12 people who accepted Jesus as their Savior. That includes 2 families. It is wonderful when a whole family trusts Jesus.

This is the first time the Chevy Corvair was at the Dover Rod Run. This event is twice a year and SOS has been witnessing there for several years but just with a canopy and no car. People have been saved then but not as many, maybe 2 or 3.

What a difference the little car makes. People come to look at it because it is unusual. The engine is in the back so the display can be put in the trunk. That is an added blessing.

God has blessed SOS Events with this car and we are praying it will be used to bring hundreds of people to the LOED!

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Wednesday Was An Extraordinary Day!

March 27, 2025

Usually Wednesdays are just ordinary days. But not in Plant City, Florida when the SOS Events Team sets up a booth at the Flea Market.

It is amazing! David, Catherine and Richard the volunteers were there early, waiting for people to pass by and see the “3 Things God Can Not Do”. People did stop and 12 of them accepted Jesus as their Savior.

An extraordinary day. Praise the LORD!

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

The Best Bargain At The Flea Market

March 25, 2025

Tomorrow the weekly Plant City Flea Market will have hundreds of people going there to find a bargain.

Every week SOS Events has a booth set up and people pass by. Some of them are not interested in the “3 Things God Can Not Do”, but others will stop and talk to the SOS Events volunteers who are waiting to give them the good news.

The 15 people who received salvation last week got the best bargain of anyone there. They received eternal life and it was absolutely free!

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

The First Car Show With The New Car

March 17, 2025

SOS Events first Car Show in Plant City with the “new” classic car on Saturday.

The ‘64 Chevy Corvair was delivered on Tuesday and just 4 days later was already being used for the LORD.

Many people stopped to look and talk about the car but the blessing is they heard the “3 Things God Cannot Do” and one person accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Please pray that this car will bring much interest and that more people will be saved at events using this car the LORD provided for SOS Events.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Luke 15:10

Praise the LORD For the 354 Decisions

March 14, 2025

The 11 day Florida Strawberry Festival is over for 2025 and the results are finally in! What a great blessing as SOS Events ends the 22nd year at the Florida Strawberry Festival.

God blessed the many SOS Events volunteers with 254 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior!

Praise the Lord for every person who made the decision to repent and ask Jesus to forgive their sins.

Every one who filled out a decision card with their name, address and age will get a Bible study that is developed for their age, and sent to them through the mail.

Also, the churches in the area will have opportunities to follow up with them in person.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

Porque todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo. Romanos10:13

SOS Events Classic Car

March 12, 2025

God blessed SOS Events with a ‘64 Chevy Corvair convertible that replaces the Ranchero that was totaled in an accident.

This little car is in great condition and the first car show is next week. Hopefully this car will draw people’s attention. When they come over to look at it, SOS Events volunteers will be ready to present the Gospel and many people will be saved.

Please pray that this car will be used to bring people to Jesus. Pray for safety for the drivers and volunteers who will be at the future car shows.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation. Selah. Psalm 69:19
