Alabama Salvation Story

March 14, 2016

We had a lady, Sam, gain assurance of her salvation at the recent SOS personal witnessing training at the end of the Jonah Bible Study at Eastmont a couple of weeks ago. Lynda Coley, a trained SOS volunteer, led her in that assurance and in documenting it. The lady made the decision to get baptized because of the assurance and when Jeremy Lynch went to talk with her about the baptism, he ended up leading her husband, Dale, to Christ!! Now he is getting baptized with his wife this Sunday!! They will have several rows of family there to watch the baptisms which means more chances for her the rest of her family and friends to come to Christ or rededicate their lives. Sam’s sister’s name is Suzanne and her parents names are David & Gladys.

SOS Events has many stories similar to this one. God uses various things to bring people to salvation. Training, events, personal witnessing and visitation are all things that are taught by SOS Events. All the praise belongs to the Lord. He is the One who saves. We are His witnesses and He brings the increase.

1 Corinthians 3:7  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

A Wise Man

March 13, 2016

Tom Curtis is a wise man for he is always looking for people to win to Christ. He has had 3 surgeries since October but as usual his goal is to witness especially in the hospital. Last evening he had the joy of leading Alden to Jesus. Please keep Tom in your prayers for complete healing of his left leg.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

New Christians

March 12, 2016

Annie age 31 wrote on the back of her decision card at Florida Strawberry Festival, “Today, I Annie accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior”

Mercedes 41 wrote, “my life has changed”

Sapphire age 14 commented, ” I just asked Jesus in my life”

Everett 37 made a decision and wrote, “Thank you lord for saving my sins”

Ella 63, “He forgive all of my sins”

This is just a few of the people who have been saved this year at the festival. As you can see they are all ages, gender and from all walks of life. All the new Christians need your prayers as they start their new life in Christ. He knows all their names.

Today and tomorrow is the last 2 days so please pray for many salvations. The weather is beautiful and usually Saturday and Sunday brings thousands of people into the festival. Pray God will draw them to the SOS Events booth.

John 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Who Has Power?

March 11, 2016

The last reason Christians do no win souls according to an article by Lifeway.

We’ve forgotten our source of power.Lastly, we don’t evangelize because we’ve mistakenly put ourselves at the center of evangelism. For many of us, our fears, our frustrations, our inability to talk about Jesus stems from a man-centered view of salvation. We really think it is us, our ingenuity, our power, our technique that delivers a soul from death to life. But salvation is not work we accomplish, but a work of the Holy Spirit. It is God who “quickens” the dead heart (Ephesians 2:1). It is the work of the Father to draw people to his son (John 8:44).

This means that in obeying the Great Commission, we can’t fail. Our job is not to do the saving, but do the sharing. Our job is to simply be faithful in declaring the word to those who haven’t heard. We are the ones God is using to share his message with the world. There are no others. (Romans 10:14). But we can rest in God’s sovereignty, motivated by the knowledge that if we share the news, people will repent and put their faith in Christ.
If Jesus is real in us, if Jesus is real in the people we lead, sharing Christ will be a natural outflow that will burst forward into our friendships, our neighbors, and our coworkers. The mission of God won’t be something we do on Sundays, but will be a way of life.

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.

Love Thy Neighbor 

March 10, 2016

Second reasons why we don’t win souls according to Lifeway article:

We’ve lost our love for neighbor.Today our world is divided along political, racial, economic lines. Every day we are tempted by the ease of social media, by the tribalization of our politics, and by racial and economic differences. We’ve lost the art of loving people with whom we disagree. Just check your Facebook timeline. Consider the harsh and often vulgar language often used, by professing Christians, to describe politicians they don’t agree with, people groups they are afraid of, and religions they don’t agree with.

You will not share the good news of the gospel with someone you do not genuinely love. We need to teach people to love their neighbors and not just the neighbors that look like them. This means we need to teach our people what the gospel is doing in uniting people from every race, tribe, and tongue in the Church. In America, this means God is helping us obey the Great Commission by bringing the nations to our doorstep.

This means our people need to stop seeing missions as something we only do when we write checks to support missionaries. Every follower of Christ is on mission in his own community. 

SOS Events ministry teaches how to evangelize and win souls using the simple plan of salvation “3 Things God Can Not Do”. It is nor offensive to anyone and with love you can be successful to your friends and neighbors.

Luke 10:27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Why Christians Do Not Win Souls

March 8, 2016

A recent Lifeway research survey revealed what most of us already know: Christians are reluctant to share their faith. According to Lifeway, 80% of evangelicals know they are called to evangelize, but 61% admit they’ve not had a spiritual conversation with anyone in the last six months.Many have offered new research and fresh strategies to motivate Christians. This is helpful. However,  our hesitance to evangelize is less a matter of faulty methods and lack of opportunity. It goes deeper. There are three spiritual reasons why we don’t evangelize and in the next few days you can find out why they are. 

Don’t be in the 61%. Tell someone about Jesus today. You can at least hand someone a tract, with a smile and ask them to read it.

2 Timothy 4:5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Opening Day

March 3, 2016

  
Florida Strawberry Festival opens today. Please pray for many souls to be saved in the next 11 days. Many thanks to the staff of SOS Events ministry who have worked endless hours to make the booth beautiful, trained volunteers, made phone calls and worked diligently to get ready for this event. 

It takes months of preparation and prayer to get ready for the Festival each year but the hard work is all to bring people to realize that they need to be saved and on their way to Heaven. Please join with us in prayer for many to be saved today and throughout the next eleven days.

Luke 14:23  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Are You in the Royal Family?

February 26, 2016

The theme for the Florida Strawberry Fesival this year is “Royal Fun for Everyone”. The SOS Events booth will have a banner asking, Are You In The Royal Family? 

Hopefully that will get the attention of people who are unsaved and their curiosity will bring them to the booth and our volunteers will explain the plan of salvation.

We love to get pictures of the new converts and this year they will wear a crown under a sign that says, I’m a child of the King. Our King is the Lord Jesus and please join us in prayer for the hundreds of people that pass by the booth. Pray the the Holy Spirit will draw them in and their hearts will be ready to accept Him as their Savior.

The Festival starts next week, March 3-March 13 but it is not to early to pray. Many will be saved and we will share the good news with you.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Will There Be Any Stars in Your Crown?

February 20, 2016

1 Peter 5:4  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

I am thinking today of that beautiful land

I shall reach when the sun goeth down;

When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand,

Will there be any stars in my crown?

Refrain:

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown

When at evening the sun goeth down?

When I wake with the blest in the mansions of rest

Will there be any stars in my crown?

In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray,

Let me watch as a winner of souls,

That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day,

When His praise like the sea billow rolls.

(refrain)

O what joy it will be when His face I behold,

Living gems at his feet to lay down!

It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,

Should there be any stars in my crown.

(refrain)

High King of heaven, my victory won,

May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Will we have a soul winners crown with the stars of the ones we have led to the Lord?

SOS Events Spanish Ministry

February 18, 2016

Soul winning and teaching others to win souls is the main purpose of SOS Events ministry. It is a great joy to see people come to know the Lord through the various events that take place.

God is richly blessing with many Spanish speaking people in our area coming to the Lord. Pastor Romero and his team go the Lakeland Flea Market every Sunday and turned in 89 decision slips this week. Those results were for several Sundays.

The Bible says to go into all the world and preach the gospel but in Florida many from other countries come to us. To God be the Glory!

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