Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL

January 22, 2020

SOS Events largest event in Florida is the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. It is coming up quickly. In the past 17 years the SOS Events volunteers have worked 4 hour shifts, but this year the shifts are only 3 hours long. This is a big change. Four more workers every day are needed and addition tickets will need to be purchased.

You can help. Pray for volunteers and that many people will be saved, If you live in the area or will be near Plant City during the Festival, volunteer for a 3 hour shift. If you cannot volunteer donations for extra tickets would be greatly appreciated. Call the office 813-494-7512 or go to SignUpGenius to get the time you want to work. All volunteers must be trained. Several classes are available.

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Trust in the Lord at All Times

January 21, 2020

Sometimes we have situations in our lives that we run to God in prayer. It may be an accident, illness or even death of a loved one or friend. God answers prayer. He heals physically and we Praise Him. We don’t always understand when it seems like He didn’t hear us. Maybe it is bad news, cancer or worse, but He is there. He brings comfort and peace in the most difficult situations. We must trust Him not only in the good times but especially in the time of trial and heartbreak.

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

SOS Events Training

January 20, 2020

SOS Events Ministry offers Training to prepare volunteers to witness at events. Yesterday, at Scott Lake Baptist Church several people came for training. It was a small group but everyone was so excited to learn and be ready to go to events to witness. In the class there were various ages from a young teenage girl to a retired pastor. God brings to the ministry people He wants to be His soul winners.

Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Praise the Lord

January 19, 2020

Usually on Sunday we post something about worship or church, but today is a great day to Praise the Lord for answered prayer. Six decisions yesterday at Pigz in Hills. 5 Salvations and one assurance.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Pigz In Hills

Today, SOS Events Florida team will be soul winning at Pigz In Hills event. Please pray with us for the volunteers and especially for people to come to the booth. Pray that ears will be open and people will be ready to be saved. We can do everything to see this happen but the only way people will come is with the Lord drawing them and the Holy Spirit working on hearts. Your prayers will make a difference.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Hang in There

January 17, 2020

There is a poster that hung in my office several years ago. It had a picture of a kitten hanging on a branch of a tree and the words were, ” Hang in there”

Today things sometimes look bleak and we get discouraged but the good news is that Jesus is with us in times of discouragement and He is coming soon. What a joy to know that we shall see Him face to face, if we know Him as our Savior.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Great is God’s Faithfulnss

January 16, 2020

A great hymn based on this scripture:

1 Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

there is no shadow of turning with thee;

thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;

as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

Refrain:

Great is thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see:

all I have needed thy hand hath provided–

Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

2 Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

sun, moon, and stars in their courses above

join with all nature in manifold witness

to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. [Refrain]

3 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Jesus Came to Save You

January 15, 2020

This is one of the most memorized and recognized verses in the Bible. Jesus did come for everyone in the world but you must realize that He died for you personally and then believe in His death, burial and resurrection. Only those who trust in Jesus as their Savior will have everlasting life.

Faint Not

January 14, 2020

January is always an extremely busy month for the staff of SOS ministries. The office staff has end of the year reports to get finished, the shop has several projects to complete, there is preparation for the many events that take place in Florida in the winter and there are new people to be trained, some for event workers and some to be event leaders.

All this activity can cause us to get weary, but the Bible says we will reap if we faint not.

Why is all this activity so necessary? SOULS. All of the effort is with the goal in mind of winning many people to Christ.

The promise is in the verse. WE WILL REAP.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing:for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Angels Are Rejoicing

January 13, 2020

SOS Events Florida team had the first weekend event of the year on Saturday. Two people accepted Jesus as their Savior. Sometimes we are disappointed when only one or two decisions are recorded at an event, but we must remember that the angels in Heaven rejoice over one. There are many Events in Florida this time of year and many volunteers are needed to join the team. There is no joy greater than leading someone to the Lord. Let’ go soul winning!

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
