Faithful Volunteer

June 20, 2015

SOS Events is privileged to have some wonderful volunteers that work faithfully. Richard is one of these workers who volunteer and is a faithful witness for the Lord. He is at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesdays and works other events when he is needed. 

  
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Laborers Together 

June 18, 2015

Alice, Randy and William usually work the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday but recently both Randy Thomas and William were out of town. Pastor Romero from his Spanish church in Lakeland sent four of his people over to help at the SOS Events booth. Thank you all for your willingness to witness and the LORD blessed with 14 souls making decisions to follow Christ.

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

  

Little is Much

June 17, 2015

Seventeen people were trained to be soul winners with SOS Events Ministry in Alabama this week. Seventeen more CHRISTIANS who are willing to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The team in Alabama are doing a wonderful job recruiting new team members and it all started when one of the couples from Florida went to Alabama about 2 years ago to train a group of people the “3 Things God Can Not Do” . That small group of people got excited about the simplicity and non confrontational way to witness. From that training came the Alabama SOS team. Today that group has spread to several cities in that state and hundreds of people are receiving JESUS as their Savior every year.

One small group of people who got on fire for the Lord and the growth is amazing. Little is much when God is in it.

Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Opportunities

June 6, 2015

Leslie, a home health nurse, came to the Curtis house to change the bandages on Tom’s ankle. As with all the others who have come she heard the gospel and she gladly accepted JESUS as her Saviour. 

What an opportunity Tom has had to witness everyday to a different person. We are so thankful that his wound is healing and hopefully he will be able to get back to his regular activities soon. In the meantime he will take advantage of all the opportunities that God gives him to tell others about the Lord.

Please continue to pray for his complete healing and also for the five people who have been saved though this trial.

Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

  

Everyday is an Event

June 3, 2015

“Everyday you get up is an event.” This quote is from Tom Curtis.

SOS Events ministry is always looking for events to have the opportunity to set up a booth to witness. However, sometimes there may not be a organized gathering to go to. Should we as Christians just sit back and not witness? NO!!

Everyday, anywhere and everyone God puts in your path is an opportunity to witness. The grocery store, at an appointment, waiting in line to purchase something, a waitress when you go out to eat, a telephone conversation, saleman, or someone who comes to you door. All these are opportunities to witness.

Always carry Bible tracts in your pocket or purse. There is no excuse for a child of God not to tell others when God tells us in His Word to be witnesses. Also, depend upon the Holy Spirit to give you power and boldness. Then ask Him to lead you to a person who is ready to recieve JESUS.

All the examples that have been given of places to witness, there has actually been someone saved by a staff member or volunteer of SOS.

If you are fearful, inexperienced or need to know how to be a better witness contact SOS Events and someone on our staff will be happy to help you.

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.

Changed Lives

June 2, 2015

Seven years ago Tom and Carolyn Curtis had the privilege of teaching a Bible class at Hendersonville Christian Academy in Tennessee. On that day two students from China received JESUS as their Savior. A young lady whose name is Stephanie and the young man was James.

Today, Stephanie is completing her education with a master degree at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. 

James, in the photo with Mr. William Slater, Head Master of Hendersonville Christian Academy, now works at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

What a blessing to have a part it changing lives of young people here in the USA and all over the world. The Bible tells us to go into all the world and preach the gospel but sometimes the Lord give us opportunity and sends people from other countries to to us through SOS Events Ministry.

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

  

All Seasons

May 21, 2015

Weather has a lot to do with when and where events take place. Late Spring and Summertime in Florida the outside events are few because of the extreme heat. While in the northern states Spring, Summer and early Autumn are the seasons when outside events are many.

SOS Events ministry is blessed to have teams in both the North and the South. New Jersey SOS team had their first event for this year (a Flea Market) and there were 8 decisions for Christ. The Alabama team has some schuled events and in Florida there is the monthly car show and also flea markets.

Please pray for all the team leaders and volunteers who are out witnessing in all kinds of weather and circumstances. They witness in season and out of season no matter what. 

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

Home Health Nurse Saved

May 18, 2015

Tom is home from the hospital and a nurse comes to the house to treat the wound on his foot. Paul was one of the nurses. 

He said he is one of only 6% of all the nurses who are male and Tom was blessed to have him come to the house. As they talked the conversation turned to the subject of salvation. Tom as usual handed Paul a tract and asked him if he had ever seen the “3 Things God Cannot Do”

Paul said he had never heard about the 3 things.

Tom told him: 1. God cannot lie. Titus 1:2.    2. God cannot change. Malachi 3:6.   3. God cannot let anyone in heaven unless they are born again. John 3:3-5.

Then he asked Paul if he had ever been saved. When Paul answered “No” Tom proceeded to explain the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Paul bowed his head and invited JESUS to be his Savior.

Romans 8:38 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

  

God’s Faithfulness 

May 15, 2015

As founders of SOS Events Ministry, Tom and I are so grateful to the faithful workers and volunteers who continue to do the work of the ministry when we are not able to be in the office or at events because of Tom’s health problems.

God’s work continues, souls are getting saved and the ministry is growing and will continue to flourish because of the great staff, Board of Directors, office workers and volunteers that God has used to keep everything running smoothly. A good example is the 17 souls that made decisions to follow JESUS at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. Pictured below is Randy with 2 boys who were saved at the Flea Market.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
