Roxanne

May 14, 2015

Roxanne is a nurse in the hospital where Tom Curtis  is being treated. The first day that Tom was there he led Roxanne to the Lord. She once again is his nurse 5 days later and you can see the joy on her face as she now knows JESUS as her Savior.
Tom jokingly said that everyone of SOS workers and volunteers should have a stay in the hospital because it is a mission field. 

Psalms 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

 

Rejoicing in Time of Trouble

May 11, 2015

One of Tom Curtis’s favorite verse is Romans 8:28. Being in the hospital is not always the most pleasant experiences, but Tom is not ever going to let an occasion to witness pass him by.

One of the nurses, a woman from Jamaca originally, was taking care of him and he asked her if she had ever invited JESUS to save her. This was after they had talked about the Lord at length.

She replied that she knew about JESUS but never had trusted Him to save her. In that hospital room, Roxanne, bowed her head repented of her sin and ask the Lord to forgive her. There is rejoicing, even in circumstances that are not easy.

Please pray for Tom as he is a diabetic and has a circulation problem in his feet that may require surgery. Also, he is scheduled for his heart pacemaker to be changed, but that will probably be put on hold until his foot heals. JESUS is the great physician and can heal. Thank you for your prayers for him.

Romans 8:28 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.

  

Traveling Blessings

April 24, 2015

  
Glenn and Dena Priddy, SOS Events newest missionary couple, have returned from a trip to Virginia. They had many wonderful blessings as they traveled.

Sign on the back window of their car was seen by hundreds of people as they drove the highways and one man called their cell phone to ask what the “3 Thing God Can Not Do” are. He was already a Christian and told them to keep up the good work.

23 CHRISTIANS came to the training that they conducted in Virginia. A new place for soul winning for SOS Events.

One of the couples at that training live in Pennsylvania and took information to their Pastor about SOS Events. That couple resides in Florida in the winter and wants to help at the Strawberry Festival next year.

Several of SOS Events missionaries travel and need prayer for safety and  blessings. Dena needs prayer as she is facing back surgery in the next few months, but pain has not stopped this dedicated couple from witnessing for the Lord. She postponed surgery until after this Virginia trip and the first week in May they will travel to Alabama to witness at the Talledega Races.

Every Christian should love the Lord and have a burden for the lost that Glenn and Dena have. They are faithful witnesses.

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.

Grandmother’s Testimony

April 17, 2015

“I am so excited tonight that I wanted to share with you. Tonight I was able to lead my grandson to the Lord. Thank God for SOS.

Your friend in Christ”

This email was received this week from a Grandmother who learned the simple way to present the Gospel with the 3 Things God Can Not Do. 

Many CHRISTIANS struggle with how to witness especially to family members. It is easy to tell others and this method works. Knowing what key questions to ask is very important. The Holy Spirit does the convicting but He uses us to do the telling. 

If you need help on how to witness to your family or friends watch the training videos on the website and you can order the “3 Things” tracts. You CAN win souls to JESUS. Boldness to proclaim the Gospel can be yours.

Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Why CHRISTIANS Do Not Win Souls

April 8, 2015

John 4:13 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

15 reasons why Christians do not win souls 

  1. Christians have no sense of urgency to reach lost people.
  2. Many Christians and church members do not befriend and spend time with lost persons.
  3. Many Christians and church members are lazy and apathetic.
  4. We are more known for what we are against than what we are for.
  5. Our churches have an ineffective evangelistic strategy of “you come” rather than “we go.”
  6. Many church members think that evangelism is the role of the pastor and paid staff.
  7. Church membership today is more about getting my needs met rather than reaching the lost.
  8. Church members are in a retreat mode as culture becomes more worldly and unbiblical.
  9. Many church members don’t really believe that Christ is the only way of salvation.
  10. Our churches are no longer houses of prayer equipped to reach the lost.
  11. Churches have lost their focus on making disciples who will thus be equipped and motivated to reach the lost.
  12. Christians do not want to share the truth of the gospel for fear they will offend others. Political correctness is too commonplace even among Christians.
  13. Most churches have unregenerate members who have not received Christ themselves.
  14. Some churches have theological systems that do not encourage evangelism.
  15. Our churches have too many activities; they are too busy to do the things that really matter.

JESUS in the News

April 3, 2015

JESUS is in the news and featured on TV this week. There are several movies, documentaries and discussions about Him. He becomes the popular subject for debate this time of year, especially by newscasters who most do not really know who He is.

It is sad that only 2 times a year, Easter and Christmas that people talk about Jesus. Even CHRISTIANS are guilty. We should be talking and witnessing about Jesus everyday of the year. Without Him there would be no hope of Heaven, no forgiveness of sin and no real joy in our lives.

Christian, let us put JESUS the main subject of discussion 365 days a year. He will give us the power to witness of His great love, death, burial and resurrection.

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Make a Difference to Someone

March 25, 2015

“You can’t win everybody to the Lord, but you can always win somebody.” John R. Rice

John R. Rice was one of the greatest preachers on soul winning in times past. He was a man of few words unless he was in the pulpit but when he spoke people listened.

This quote reminds me of a story I once read about a little boy on the beach. 

He was throwing starfish that had washed up on shore back in the water. There were hundreds of them. 

An old man came along and asked the boy why he was throwing them back in the water. “You can’t save them all. You can’t even tell the difference. There are still hundreds of them.”

As the little boy picked up another starfish, threw it in the water, he said, “It makes a difference to this one.”

We can make a difference, one soul at a time. Let’s go soulwinning. Don’t know how? SOS Events can help you.


And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jude 1:22

Love One Another

March 24, 2015

A wonderful report from Pastor Romero (right). Over thirty people made decisions for Christ at the Flea Market in Lakeland in the last 2 weeks. This Pastor and his wife, Maria, have a burden to see the Spanish speaking people of this area be saved.

SOS Events is blessed to have a dedicated Hispanic pastor partnering with the ministry. He also, has a burden for the English speaking people. He is bilingual but many in his church are not. He prays for more Engish in his church while we at SOS pray for more Spanish.

His comment was, “We are a team, we work together.” The love that this man and his wife have for souls and other Christians is truly from the Holy Spirit. 

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35

 

Witness for JESUS 

March 22, 2015

JESUS came into the world to die on the cross so people could be saved from the penalty of their sins. His love for us is beyond our comprehension. 

His will for those of us who are saved is to tell others of His great love and give them the plan of salvation. Many Christians do not witness. Fear is probably the biggest reason they do not tell others. SOS Events simple method the “3 Things God CanNot Do” helps to take away fear and excuses. SOS has tools, training, tracts and tactics to help anyone become a witness for Christ. All it takes is an email: info@sosevents.org or a phone call 813-784-8242 if you need help to become a soul winner.


For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.  Luke 19:10
