Shirley Black went home to be with the Lord on November 4th. She and her husband Doug were SOS Events Leaders in Florida and in New York. Her desire was to serve the Lord everywhere she went. Today her husband and family need your prayers as her funeral will be held in New York. She will be greatly missed.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
If we are a child of God, he is with us no matter what the circumstance. If you know someone today who is hurting, or fearful lift them in prayer.
The first Saturday in November was very busy in Florida for SOS Events Ministry. Three events on the same day in close proximity. In the morning Antioch Days, 26 Salvations, at the same time an event in Zephyhills with 6 Salvations reported. Then in the evening in Plant City at Bethany Baptist Church 20 decisions to follow Jesus. What a wonderful day for SOS Events volunteers. Over 50 people of all ages came to know Jesus.
Psalm 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
SOS Events has been participating in Antioch Days since it began as a little churchyard annual event about 13 years ago. It is always held on the first Saturday in November and has become a huge event. There are many things for families to do, train ride, fishing, food, games, venders and a parade. Saturday, there were 26 Salvations at the SOS Events booth. Praise the Lord for opportunities like this to witness where people come to have fun.
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.
All volunteers with SOS EVENTS Ministry praise the LORD for His goodness. Close to 100 people trusted JESUS as their Savior in various events this past week in Florida and many more in other places also. It is an honor and privilege to Serve Our Savior and witness to others how they can be saved. All praise and honor are the LORD’s.
What a blessing to have 43 Salvations on Halloween Evening. Several churches in the area had activities for children to give them a safe environment instead of trick or treat in possibly unsafe neighborhoods. Dover First Baptist Church in Florida, had a Fall Festival and invited SOS Events to come and witness. God blessed with not only children but several adults and teens accepting Jesus as their Savior.
Romans 10:9 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
This is a photo of Diana’s front lawn at her home on Halloween. She set up for Trick or Treat and she had 14 decisions for Christ before the evening was done. Most were teenagers and a few parents who came with younger children. It is amazing what God will do with one person who is willing to step out of their comfort zone and witness for the Lord. One night and the results were more than most churches do in a year.
SOS Events has many ideas to help you make a difference in the lives of people around you. Do you make a difference in your neighborhood?
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.
Halloween is a day that originated to ward off evil spirits with bonfires and sacrifices. Today it is a time when children trick or treat and adults party. Some people love Halloween and others hate it, but however you feel about today as Christian we can use it to witness for the Lord.
If children come to your house for trick or treat be sure to give them a tract along with the candy. SOS Events participates in many Halloween alternatives at churches and community events. Diana (our office manager) sets up a “3 Things God Can Not Do” display in her yard every Halloween and has seen many children, teens and adults come to know the Lord in the last several years. Be a witness and use this opportunity for God’s glory. Also please pray for many souls to be saved on this night the busiest in the year for SOS Events all around the USA.
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.
An opportunity to introduce neighbors and people to your church is to have an event on the church property. SOS Events loves churchyard events. This past weekend in Lakeland, FL a Block Party was held. Everyone had a wonderful time with food, fun and fellowship, but the best part of the day was when 5 people trusted Jesus as their Savior at the SOS Events booth. Randy Thomas is the Pastor and is also a missionary with SOS Events ministry and God is blessing this growing church.
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
