Missed Opportunity!

April 23, 2026

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and felt that quiet nudge in your heart—you could have said something about Jesus, but didn’t? You’re not alone. Many of us have missed those moments. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes uncertainty, and sometimes we simply don’t recognize the opportunity until it’s gone.

But the Lord is gracious. He doesn’t give us just one chance—He gives us many. Each day brings new opportunities to shine His light. The key is to keep our hearts ready. When we stay close to Him, His Spirit gently prompts us, and He will even give us the words to say.

Don’t dwell on yesterday’s missed moment. Instead, ask the Lord today, “Help me be ready.” The next opportunity might be just around the corner—and what a joy it is to point someone to the hope we have in Jesus.

God Is In You!

March 18, 2026

What a powerful reminder for us today!

We live in a world that can feel overwhelming at times. There are pressures, distractions, discouragements, and even spiritual battles that come against us. It can seem like the world is getting louder and stronger—but this verse reminds us of a truth we must never forget:

The Bible says, “Ye are of God…” That means we belong to Him. We are His children, His servants, and His representatives here on earth. And because of that, we are not alone in anything we face.

It goes on to say, “and have overcome them.” Notice that it doesn’t say we might overcome or that we are trying to overcome—it says we already have. Through Christ, the victory has already been secured.

Why?

Because “greater is he that is in you…”

If you are saved, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in your life. No force in this world—no fear, no opposition, no discouragement—can compare to the power of God within you.

That means when you step out to serve…

When you share the Gospel…

When you volunteer, witness, or simply shine your light…

You are not going in your own strength.

You are going with the power of God.

This is such an encouragement for all of us involved in SOS Events ministry. As we go into events, outreach, and everyday opportunities to witness, we don’t have to feel intimidated by the world around us.

The Strawberry Festival Has Passed The Halfway Point!

March 4, 2026

Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida has surpassed the half way mark! Five more days to go.

There have been 120 decisions up until yesterday! Praise the Lord!

Please join me in prayer for the rest of this event, that people will be saved, volunteers will be filled with the spirit, and that the remaining shifts will be filled.

We still have empty opportunities for volunteers, especially the evening shifts and all day on Sunday.

A true witness delivereth souls: Proverbs 14:25a

Praise the LORD for what He has done the last 4 days!

March 2, 2026

The Strawberry Festival continues today. Parade Day is an exciting day at the Festival. School is out for the children in Plant City. People from many States come to the Festival.

There have been 95 people who have trusted Jesus as their Savior in the last 4 days. Please continue to pray for the volunteers and especially the people passing by to be saved.

We do lift the name of Jesus when people come to the volunteer who explains the A,B, C plan of salvation.

Jesus said,  And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:32

Today is the third day of the strawberry festival in Plant city Florida. You could be sitting in Doug’s seat winning someone to the Lord.

There are still a few shifts open and we need trained volunteers to fill them.

If you live in the area and have been trained, don’t miss out on your opportunity.

SOS Events Still Going!

Strawberry Festival FL – 450+ Accept Jesus

March 1-11, 2007 SOS Ministries in partnership with 10 churches from the Plant City, Fl area saw God do miraculous things. 

January and February were busy months for the staff at SOS Ministries in preparation for this event.  Tom and Carolyn Curtis, Jay and Penny Ayres spent many training sessions with the 58 people who worked a shift at the booth.  We are especially thankful for Don and Shirley Riegel who drove from Ohio to help us with training and at the Festival.  God brought the increase. 

He is faithful and rewards dedicated people who serve Him.  Many of the workers led their first soul to Christ and their enthusiasm is catching.  We are now in the process of follow-up.  We appreciate the volunteers who are writing letters, making phone calls and personally visiting the new converts.

This was the first post to social media about the Strawberry Festival. SOS Events started with the festival at least 2 years earlier.

Today starts another year that SOS Events will be there.

If you are a trained volunteer in Florida, you can be a part of this great opportunity to witness at this event. Sign up for your 3 hour shift before you miss your blessing.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: Isaiah 43:10a

(All the participants in this article have gone on to Heaven except Carolyn and Penny. Imagine the people who will meet them who were saved at Strawberry Festival)

Tracts A Way To Witness!

January 29, 2026
SOS Events Tract

Tracts are a wonderful way to witness as you go through your daily life. 

Leave one with a tip at a restaurant. Give one to a cashier at a grocery store. When in conversation with a stranger.

Get creative. Find ways you can witness using a gospel tract.

SOS Events can supply you with the “3 Things God Can Not Do” tract. The cost is $2.50 for 25, plus postage. 

Email info@sosevents.org, or call 813-494-7512 to order.

so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV

First Training For SOS Events 2026

January 16, 2026

Bob and Ginger are wonderful SOS Events Leaders and Trainers. They had their first training in 2026 recently and 8 people came to be trained and volunteer at events.

SOS Events method is a simple and nonconfrontational way to witness to people using the “3 Things God Can Not Do”.

The Ministry always needs new volunteers in all areas. If you would like to be able to witness with confidence, SOS Events training is for you.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:12

Tracts

January 14, 2026
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

Tracts are very effective. Many Christians have been saved reading a tract, either along with someone witnessing or them or picking one up and reading it on their own. 

Carolyn Curtis is a good example. She was given a tract the morning she was on the way to Niagara Falls to end her life. While getting up the courage to jump in, she read the tract, prayed the prayer on the back and was gloriously saved. Since that time many have come to the Lord through her witness. 

One tract can change a life. You can be the one to give a tract to someone in person, leave one in the restroom, at a store, restaurant or any public place. Put one in a library book, in a shoe box at a shoe store. 

Be creative. Think of a place to leave a tract and pray someone will find it who needs the Lord. It is a life changing opportunity

Halloween An Opportunity To Witness!

October 31, 2025

Halloween is a day that originated to ward off evil spirits with bonfires and sacrifices. This weekend is a time when children trick or treat and adults party. Some people love Halloween and others hate it, but however you feel about Halloween, as Christian we can use it to witness for the Lord.

If children come to your house for trick or treat be sure to give them a tract along with the candy. 

SOS Events participates in many Halloween alternatives at churches and community events.

Be a witness and use this opportunity for God’s glory. Also please pray for many souls to be saved on this weekend, the busiest in the year for SOS Events all around the USA.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven
