Congratulations to David and Vicki Dow. They were married on Valentines Day. David is the one who makes all SOS Events display boards and oversees property management. May God bless them with a long happy marriage.
Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Today is Valentines Day. Special because the one we love gets an opportunity to tell us how much he or she loves us. Weddings take place on this day, couples have plans for a romantic dinner, jewelry, cards, flowers and candy given as a token of love. A wonderful day for you, if you have that special someone in your life, but some of you do not have someone to give a gift or say “I love you.” You may be sad today.
This is a special Valentine for you.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
A Shocking 47% Of Millennials Say Evangelism Is Wrong. Relevant Magazine
“Almost half of Millennials (47%) agree at least somewhat that it is wrong to share one’s personal beliefs with someone of a different faith in hopes that they will one day share the same faith.”
The article said they believe in Jesus, but do not think we should share the Gospel with others. Christians, we must reach not only the lost millennials (ages 18-35), but we must teach our Christian young people that the Jesus they follow commanded us to spread the gospel. A whole generation and generations to follow will be lost if we do not do more to reach them.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Do people need to be trained to win souls? To witness at an event with SOS Events Ministry they do. Why? Sometimes Christians have fear or feeling of rejection. At a public event there are many things that need to be followed to be a successful soul winner. Getting a persons attention and presenting the Gospel in a short amount of time. What to do with children when a parent is not present. How to handle objections and many more things to be an effective witness.
SOS Events provides answers and encouragement to Christians when they come to a training. It gives them confidence and boldness, realizing that they will work together with an experienced team at the event. This time of year in Florida, several trainings are scheduled. If you live in the Lakeland, Plant City or Tampa area and would like to be a part of this growing ministry, contact the home office, 813-494-7512 or email info@sosevents.org to schedule a time to be trained. Strawberry Festival in Plant City is 2 weeks away and workers are invited to join us in the harvest of souls.
The most important training, however, is prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Alice Thomas and Diana Guiliano are a vital part of SOS Events Ministry. Alice (left) is the Communication Director. She does most of the phone calling, correspondence and scheduling of all events. Finding events and securing a booth space is a constant activity for Alice. She records all decisions, workers, and trainings. She is a missionary with SOS Events, is a weekly soul winner at Plant City Flea Market and much more.
Diana (right) is secretary/ treasurer of SOS Events, on the Board of Directors, office manager, trainer and event worker. Her responsibilities are many. She takes care of the finances, records all donations, works with the accountant to make sure that all legal government documents are filed properly. She also receives all email and makes sure messages get to the proper person. She collects regular mail and does all he banking for SOS Events.
Both these women keep SOS Events Ministry running smoothly. They do many things beyond their “job description”. This picture is a great example, they are at the Annual Meeting demonstrating how to present the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and the ABC’s of Salvation. SOS Events are blessed to have these 2 Godly women as part of the ministry.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
America was founded by men who loved God and believed in Jesus and that we should have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. They also believed that the Bible, God’s Word, should be taught in schools, churches and at home. What a long way America has come since then. When prayer and the Bible was taken out of the schools and public gatherings the great moral decline of the USA began. Christians did not stand up and protest enough. Materialism and complacency took over for many Christians. Is it too late? That is up to us.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Today, a personal testimony from cofounder of SOS Events Ministry, Carolyn Curtis. “God is so good to me, Last summer I fell and broke my hip. Recovery was quicker than usual for a woman of 80 years old. In 3 months time I was walking without a walker or cane and was able to resume my regular schedule of travel and daily routine.
The autumn activities are busy and then the Holiday season with ministry and family. What a time of activities. God gave strength through all of that with a minimal pain.
Then came January, busy in the office, the annual meeting and now Strawberry Festival preparation. Saturday and Sunday last week I prayed for strength for a very busy weekend. Hosting company from out of town, annual meeting and a wedding on the same day and cooking brunch for 18 on Sunday. No pain, energy to get everything accomplished and not even a nap. God blessed me abundantly and I just want to praise Him publicly.”
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
It is hard to believe that the Florida Strawberry Festival is 3 weeks away. The excitement of the opportunity to win people to the Lord is building. There are still decorations to be made for the booth, several trainings to get new workers, finalize the schedule and many things to numerous to mention. (2018 photo)
Please pray with us for a wonderful harvest of souls at the Festival this year. All the work that goes into a large event is worth everything if only one soul gets saved, but we are setting a goal and praying for 300.
1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
