Backpack Out Reach

July 24, 2019

On Saturday, one of the greatest events of the summer season that benefit students will be held in Riverview, Florida. The goal is to distribute over 1000 backpacks. This event is a benefit to students that will be attending school this 2019 through 2020 school year. Many families cannot afford all the school supplies and the local YMCA collect backpacks to give out to the children. The big blessing is the parents have to bring them, and it is an opportunity for a SOS Events to witness to whole families. Please pray that many families will come to know the Lord this Saturday.

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.

Decisions To Follow Jesus

July 23, 2019

The final results for the SOS Events booth at the Genesee County Fair in New York was 47 salvation decisions. Families, teens, men and women from various walks of life have their lives changed when they come to an SOS Events booth at events. In this photo Frank is at the display board and Joanne is explaining the gospel to 4 teens. Please continue to pray for the new Christians that they will get into church and that they will do the Bible Studies they will receive from SOS Events Ministry.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Make Today a Special Event

July 20, 2019

Event Evangelism, Inc is the legal name for SOS Events ministry and not all of our witnessing takes place at events. The definition of an event by the founder, Tom Curtis. “An event is when you get up in the morning.”

Everyday is another opportunity to witness. Young mother at home with small children, witness to someone on the phone or a neighbor or delivery man. Student, witness to your unsaved fellow students. Business man or woman, you have many opportunities to witness as you work (make sure you do not do it on the boss’s time). Elderly, even in a nursing home you have people around you to witness to for the Lord.

Today is an event. Give someone a tract, tell someone your testimony or use the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” approach which takes less than 2 minutes. Make today your special event.

Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Faithful Volunteers

July 17, 2019

SOS Events Ministry is Blessed to have many faithful volunteers. Shirley and Doug Black have traveled from The Finger Lake area of New York to Batavia to help with training last Sunday and then work at the Genesee County Fair all week. But, that is not all…. they winter in Florida and take part in many tradings and events there. What a blessing to have this dedicated couple as part of SOS Events Ministry.

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Testimony from Patty Mills, SOS Events Leader in Alabama

July 16, 2019

God gave me the privilege of leading a young lady to Christ and leading her sister and friend in a prayer of rededication using SOS Events (ABCs of salvation) while participating in #ServeDay19 with many other servants. These sweet souls are being followed up on and discipled by their pastor Lieutenant Brian Farrington of the Salvation Army Church, COTH’s ministers and SOS Home Office. They will also receive tons of prayer from all and free age appropriate Bible studies through the mail for as long as they want them. I thank God for SOS Events – Carolyn Curtis, Dale Brown, Dorothy Brown and other mentors in that ministry for seeing the need to train and equip and encourage the saints to be sensitive to the Spirit and then bold in intentionally sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with all.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Power to Be a Soul Winner

July 13, 2019

When SOS Events volunteers go to an event to witness and win souls, the most important thing that they must do is rely on the Holy Spirit to bring people to the booth and then bring conviction into their hearts so the hear and accept the gospel. All the work, prayer and preparation will come to nothing without the Holy Spirit’s Power.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Celebrating 4th of July

July 5, 2019

The best way to celebrate the 4th of July is to witness at an event and to see people find true personal freedom from sin by accepting Jesus as their Savior. Some of The Florida team did exactly that this year. It is wonderful that children and adults come to events, not expecting to have their lives changed and then they come to the SOS Events booth and find salvation. A true reason to celebrate not only on Independence Day but any day of the year.

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

Night of Worship in Ohio

July 2, 2019

At the Night of Worship in Maumee there were 12 Salvations, Praise the Lord. Top left is Nellie, a lady from Brazil, who was the first person to come into the booth. Dory and Stephanie leading two young men to the Lord. Emerson is trusting Jesus in the bottom left photo and a father came in with his daughter and he also made a decision to follow Christ. What a wonderful night of worship it was.

New SOS Events Team In Ohio

July 1, 2019

Ed, Rhonda, Dory, Carolyn (SOS founder) and Stephanie (team Leader) had a wonderful time at a churchyard event in Maumee, Ohio at The Church on Strayer Sunday. Carolyn flew to Ohio to help this team with the first event. Stephanie has been working diligently for 2 years to get a team together and God blessed her with people who love the Lord and are excited to win souls. Their are several others who have been trained not pictured here. The Pastor came to see the SOS Events booth and immediately wanted more information. This team will grow into a strong witness in Ohio. More to come tomorrow….

Couple Accepts Jesus

June 29, 2019

At a recent churchyard event this couple ask Jesus to be their Savior. SOS team leaders Dena and Glen (in blue shirts) had the privilege to lead them to the Lord.

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