(R) Adam 20, U.S. Navy was Born Again/Saved by Jesus Christ Saturday. He has been in the Navy for 3 years, attended Chapel a few times & said he never heard the Gospel. The Lord had Adam’s heart prepared & receptive as he prayed in repentance. It was a blessing to be a share the Gospel with an active duty shipmate. Let’s pray for Adam to be a missionary aboard his ship & have the Gospel spread.

Sailor Saved at Flea Market
June 29, 2014More Conference News
June 26, 2014
Carolyn Curtis with 2 Hispanic men at the conference in St. Petersburg who are going to be trained to win the many Spanish people in the Florida area.
We are thankful for the interest in SOS by many of the conference attendees . One of the pastors is going to Micronesia next week and taking the “3 Things God Can Not Do” display board to win people to The Lord in that country.
Once again The Lord is increasing the outreach of SOS Events ministry around the world.
Luke 24:47
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Prayer Needed
June 24, 2014
This week SOS Events is participating in a Christian Conference held in Saint Petersburg, Fl. Prayer is needed as pastors and laymen walk by our booth that they may see the need to evangelize in the marketplace.
Most people will not come to a gospel preaching church if they are not saved and we need to go to them.
The time is short!! Everyday we see that maybe soon we as Christians will not have the freedom to be in public places to proclaim the gospel.
The group that is in St. Pete this week could make a difference all over the country if they would just get a vision of the lost souls in America.
Please pray with us for new commitments this week.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:the night cometh, when no man can work.
World War II Veteran Saved
June 23, 2014On the1st day of Summer, the Lord Jesus saved 9 souls @ the Auburndale, FL. Farmers/Flea Mkt. for His glory!!. There were (2 teens, 7 adults) from Footville, Wisconsin, Batesville, Texas & the Florida towns of Haines City, Mulberry, Wahneta, Polk City & Kissimmee Florida.
Today’s unique highlight came from Nicholas. He is a 90 year old WW2 Veteran in a wheel chair being pushed by his adult grandson. He was attracted to our “3 Things God Cannot Do” Gospel Board. With tears in his eyes, Nicholas said his wife for the past 55 years had died two weeks ago. He was heartbroken. The funeral left him searching for spiritual answers. God gave Nicholas the answer to his biggest question as he listened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At 1:35PM, Nicholas prayed out load in the public aisle at the flea market in repentance & faith toward Jesus Christ alone to save his soul.
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.
Salvation, Then Change
June 22, 2014“Practically every false doctrine comes from getting things out of order. God’s divine order is salvation, then change; not change and then salvation! If one has to be changed to be saved, that’s salvation by works. It is also salvation by the flesh. The truth is, one is cleansed from the sins of the flesh just as he is saved; by yielding to the Holy Spirit and letting Him do His work.” ~Jack Hyles
When witnessing we often hear excuses why a person can not be saved now. A common excuse is “I need to quit _____________ before I can be saved.
(You fill in the blank)
Have you ever heard the expression, Putting the card before the horse?
The above quote is exactly right. A person is never good enough to be saved, that is why Jesus died to pay for our sins. When witnessing pray that the Holy Spirit will convict the person to understand that salvation is by accepting Christ, not by changing their lifestyle.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Beyond the USA
June 19, 2014
SOS does have influence in countries outside the USA. Pictured here is one of the team from Germany who came to Florida, was trained with SOS staff and went to the Farmers market in Plant City, Fl.
Five people made decisions for Christ.
SOS also has missionaries from England, Philippines and Yugoslavia using the “3 Things God Can Not Do” displays to interest people in the gospel.
Several invitations have come from various countries but at this time there is none of our staff able to go, however, God does send them to us.
We pray as Jabez prayed, increase our coast.
1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Are You To Busy?
June 18, 2014“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.” ~R.A. Torrey
Individuals today are too busy to serve God. SOS needs people to go into the marketplace to win souls to The Lord. We are thankful for the dedicated people who do go, but if there were Christians who would go just 5 hours a week or a month hundreds more lost souls could be saved.
Churches are also guilty of being too busy. They have programs instead of power, preaching instead of prayer ( nothing wrong with preaching, but where have the old time prayer meetings gone). Forty percent of fundamental churches that do not see even one soul save in a year.
Are you too busy to hand out a tract, pray for someone in need, visit the sick, encourage someone who needs a friend, witness to your neighbor or stop and talk to The Lord in true worship?
We need to spend our time wisely. Once it is gone we cannot reclaim it.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:the night cometh, when no man can work.
June 17, 2014
The news today could be a chapter out of the Bible on the end times. Wars, rumors of war, severe weather in unusual places, violence, chaos, unrest in the Middle East and much more news that is predicted in scripture.
The bright side of the news is: Jesus is coming. We don’t know the time. It could be today. This is good news for those of us who are born again.
Fellow Christian, the hour is late. We must be tell others who may not be saved how they can accept the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, who paid their sin debt. Today, tell the good news to someone. Tomorrow it may be too late.
Luke 21:25-28
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
First Friday
June 8, 2014
Each month Lakeland, FL barricades the streets from car traffic around Munn Park for a community event of food, music, community & civic organizations, churches, politicians, police, fire, utilities, transportation, etc. to gather for networking & general information sharing. This picture with Joyce Mlinek, was taken immediately after we set up the SOS Events booth @ 5:30PM. Seven souls were saved at this event on Friday evening.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

There are opportunities to serve The Lord with SOS Events winning people to Christ where you live. Summertime is a great season for soul winning. Yard sales, farmers markets, social gatherings in your town.
All you need is the guidance of the Holy Spirit, some training, a display board, some tracts and 3 willing people and you can see many souls get saved. Don’t miss this opportunity. The rewards will be in Heaven when The Lord says well done.
