13 salvations and 8 assurances total at SOS booth at Eastmonts Yard Sale yesterday in Alabama. Praise the Lord!! More results from the weekend to come in the next few days.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Have you ever been disappointed or discouraged? We must remember God is in control of every situation.
This weekend SOS Events had two large events scheduled and both were cancelled on Saturday because of heavy wind and rain. That meant that no one would be saved at these events. We know that it is God’s will to have people be saved so why the bad weather? Then we remember, He is in control.
Our team member Stephanie drove from Pennsylvania to New Jersey but was it a waste? No. She had opportunity to meet several people from the NJ team and that will open future doors for her.
Carolyn and Beka drove from Florida to Virginia to oversee a new team. Today, they are hoping to be able to witness at the event after church if the tent and materials have not been distroyed by the heavy winds yesterday. Waste of time and effort? Absolutely not. Family is in the area and there was time for fellowship and a total day of rest which was needed. God can do in a few hours today what all of us would have done over the whole weekend. And if not, we still will trust Him and Praise the Lord for His goodness.
As He delivered the 3 men from the fiery furnace, He is able to turn disappointment into joy. God cannot change.
Daniel 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
Mid week for some people is a time to look forward to the weekend to relax and enjoy free time. For those of us at SOS Events ministry it is a time to look forward to seeing souls come to salvation.
Please pray for the weekly Wednesday Plant City Flea Market, going on as this is being written. Pray for the workers that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit and that the Lord will bring people to the booth to be saved.
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Adrian Rogers had some great sermons which are still recorded and broadcasted on radio and YouTube. His message on soul winning is one of the best I’ve ever heard. This is what he said about Christians who use the excuse they don’t have the gift of soul winning. “Soul winning is not a gift, it is a command.”
He also said that 90% of Christians have never even lead one person to the Lord. The tragedy is that most Christians don’t even care.
This is a sad commentary and it must break God’s heart. Jesus came to earth, was crucified, buried and rose again that people may be saved. How about you? Are you making a difference?
Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
We sometimes wonder why our plans do not work. Carolyn and granddaughter Beka traveled to Pennsyvania to work at an event but tried to schedule an appointment with a church in New Jersey while they were there. After several tries to make the plan to visit the supporting church did not happen Carolyn gave up trying. She decided to spend some family time in PA instead with her son and daughter-in-law when the event was over.
Going out into the yard in the early evening, Carolyn’s son Steve saw his next-door neighbor and called him over to the fence. Introductions were made and Gary, the neighbor, ask why Beka and Carolyn were in the neighborhood.
The conversation turned to the display board that we use in SOS Events. Gary had seen the board and called it the Bean Toss for Jesus. Carolyn assumed that Gary was saved. However, found out that though Steve had witnessed to him many times, he had never accepted the Lord.
Carolyn then proceeded to ask several questions and finally said, “Gary, will you pray with me and ask Jesus to be your Savior.” He did and they rejoiced together.
Had Carolyn had her way, Gary would not have had the opportunity to be saved. God directs our paths and our plans if we allow Him to.
Proverbs 4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
Dale and Dorothy Brown are SOS Events leaders and good friends of the ministry from Alabama. Dale is on the Board of Directors of SOS Events, they both have worked, supported and prayed for SOS since it began in 2001. This is a picture from the weekend where they along with many other volunteers from Alabama traveled to Pensacola, Florida and there at an event had 20 decisions for Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Eastmont Baptist Church in Alabama holds an Event Called country Country every year in September. They have free food, a concert and rides and games for the kids. SOS Alabama team has a booth and this year there were 3 decisions for Christ on Sunday.
Churchyard Events are important as God always blesses with souls.if your church is having an event that is attended by your community it is a perfect time to see souls saved. Many people will not come on a Sunday morning but they will come for fun, free food and activities for the children. What about you church? If you are having an event, don’t use time and money without giving your community opportunity to be saved. SOS Events will be happy to help you and provide training and materials for your event.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
New events are being added to the SOS EVENTS calendar for the September to December busy season. We are thankful for the opportunities God gives us to win souls. Please pray for the workers and the lost that they will be saved.
You can have a part in the blessings. Pray, give and participate. There is always room for more events and more volunteers. SOS Events needs you to help in any way you can. Lost souls are waiting to hear the gospel.
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Sometimes we are disappointed when only one person repents and gets saved at an event that SOS Events participates in. The effort to go, set up a canopy, get workers, pray, prepare, pay for and all the things that must be accomplished before the event even starts, then after that only one soul.
This is what happened on Friday night this week in Pennsylvania at an event. Then we remember that God is in control and the joy in Heaven over this one person is taking place. We do not know how God will use this person in the future. So today we also rejoice in this one soul that made a decision to follow Christ. All the work and effort put in by SOS Events volunteers is worth that one person and they will be rewarded for faithfulness because God looks at our heart.
Faith Rider Fred and his crew at Sixth Street Baptist in Alex City this past Sunday for a great SOS Volunteer training! Looking forward to what God has in store for their next upcoming trainings and joining them for the Lineville Swap Meet on Nov. 5&6. Praise the Lord!
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.
