God is Faithful

July 21, 2016


Usually on Wednesdays at the Flea Market in Plant City, Fl, the majority of people saved are Spanish speaking. Yesterday, however, there was no one who spoke Spanish to work in the SOS Events booth. 

Sometimes our faith is small and we think that if a certain worker is not there no one will be saved. God knows our hearts and that we desire to see people come to him no matter what the language or who the soul winners are. The results yesterday were amazing! Eleven people trusted Jesus as their Savior and all were Engish speaking. Also, there were only two SOS Events workers at the booth, Randy and Alice. 

God blesses at every event. He knew exactly who the soul winners would be and also, who would be in the crowd. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness.

Psalms 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Days Are Like Suitcases

July 9, 2016

Days are like suitcases…all the same size…but some people are able to pack more into them than others.

Are your days filled with empty hours or are you so busy you don’t have time to do the important things, like witnessing to that person you meet, praying or spending quality time with your family? We each have 24 hours in every day. Let us spend that time wisely, doing something that will count for eternity.

Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Dedicated Workers

July 2, 2016

SOS EVENTS has some dedicated workers who go out to win souls no matter what the weather. In Florida this season of year the temperature rises to between 85 and 95 degrees and it feels much hotter as the day progresses. However, every Wednesday there are faithful workers who go to the Flea Market in Plant City to win souls. In the last 2 weeks 18 people have trusted Jesus as their Savior. That is dedication. These workers are very much appreciated and deserve a giant THANK YOU.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Little Children

June 30, 2016

A young boy, William, 7 years old got saved at Daily Vacation Bible School recently. He was so excited and went home and told his little 3 year old brother, Isaac, that that he needed to give his heart to Jesus.

Isaac replied, “I will give my heart to Jesus someday but I need it right now.” (William and Isaac are the Curtis’ great grandsons)

Children, especially when very young, sometimes do not understand the terminology we use to present the Gospel. Just as a reminder to those of us who witness to make sure that the person we witness to understands how to be saved. 

The simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” is a wonderful way to witness to older children and adults but when talking with younger children we need to make sure they understand. Sometimes it is better to give a tract or witness to the parent and trust God to bring the child to Himself when the child is a little older. Always ask the Holy Spirit to direct you when witnessing.

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.

Reunion

June 27, 2016

This past weekend was spent at a reunion with friends and family. What a blessing to share the good times we had together many years ago. It is hard to say good bye to some of these people we are thinking we will not see them again this side of Heaven. But, what a reunion that will be when we all get to Heaven and have eternity to spend with first of all our Savior Jesus and then with our loved ones who have gone on before.

A few people did not come to the school reunion and we missed them. Think of how sad it will be to be in Heaven if friends or family are missing.

Conclusion: Christian, witness to that friend or relative who is not saved. You would be surprised at how many are waiting for you to invite them to be saved.

Unsaved friend, you do not want to miss the great Reunion in Heaven when you die. Make sure of your salvation today.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Yard Sale in Alabama

June 25, 2016


A salvation while putting up a yard sale sign? Yes and amen!! Handed a man who was walking a tract and bottled water and Carl went through the 3 Things God Can Not Do and the ABC’s of salvation with him and he accepted Christ! Will follow up with him with an encouraging note and a home visit. Praise the Lord!  

Salvation Testimony

June 13, 2016

 A brother and a sister were walking by us along with their Mom’s boyfriend and decided to stop and hear the three things God cannot do. They were vendors, a few spots down from us. The dad permitted them to talk to us. The kids were so sweet and right away accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Later, they brought Mom to us and she spoke Portugese and very little English. She was also sweet and conversed with us and accepted Lord Jesus. She spoke her testimony in a video. Praise God for her testimony.
This is a testimony from Columbus Farmers Market in New Jersey. Praise the Lord for new salvations. The Bible tells us to go into all the world, but at events He sends people from other countries to the SOS Events booth.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

New Jersey Event

June 11, 2016

Great results reported from SOS Event volunteers in Piscataway, New Jersey. This team is from Faith Baptist Church, Trenton, NJ and they do a great job witnessing and leading people to Christ.

11 children and 1 adult made the decision to accept Lord Jesus as their Personal Savior. 4 adults and one child received the Assurance of Salvation promised in Scriptures. Below are some testimonies written on the back of the decision cards people who make decisions fill out.

Bettina, age 12, wrote: Jesus came into my heart and I believed that he died on the cross for my sin.

William, age 32 wrote: I was reassured of my salvation

Kimberly, age 29 wrote: Jesus died for my sins

Psalms 107:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so

How to Please God

June 4, 2016

Going through some papers of Founder of SOS Events, Tom Curtis, I found this statement:

“You are not pleasing God if you are not bringing people to Christ.”

The question is, Are you pleasing God?  Every Christian should have a desire to witness and win souls.

Tom Curtis was a great example to all of us to be soul winners. The last day in the hospital and only 6 days before he went to Heaven he won 2 doctors and a nurse to the Lord and had a steady stream of hospital staff come to bid him goodbye and tell him that they had been saved through his testimony and witness.
