Cheryl Dow, wife of SOS Events faithful worker David Dow went home to be with the Lord yesterday after a long illness. She is at rest now. No more sorrow, no more pain. Her family needs your prayers. David, her Mom, daughters and extended family.

This weekend only one lady volunteered to go to the Big Top Flea Market. She had never been there before and also was new at witnessing at an event.
SOS always wants 3 people to work in the booth Tom and Carolyn Curtis went to work with her even though they were not on the schedule. They got there and a lady was already witnessing. Assuming that was the scheduled worker they prepared to start talking to people as they walked by. Then another lady came into the booth. She said she was Olga. (The woman who was scheduled to work)
Then a phone call came and John and Patty were on their way to come and witness in the booth. Now there were too many workers as the booth is small and a crowd can be intimidating to people walking by.
Tom and Carolyn wondered why God wanted them at the Flea Market when they were not needed. There was a particular vendor Carolyn wanted to see so she went to that booth to make a purchase. The woman told Carolyn that this was her last week to be there. Her husband has cancer and she had other family problems in another state.
The vendor, Sue, had on a hat with a JESUS symbol so Carolyn asked if she was a Christian. Sue answered yes. Carolyn then asked if she could pray for Sue, her husband and family. Sue was so grateful for the prayers.
God knew that Sue needed encouragement and sent Tom and Carolyn to the Flea market. Scheduling error? No. God’s direction.

It is so exciting when the mail comes in after the monthly newsletter has gone out. Usually there are many envelopes ready to be opened from SOS Events supporters.
This month there has been many blessings in the mail. First the regular supporters who are faithful to send an offering every month. Some of them have been supporting SOS Events since the ministry was founded in 2001. The faithfulness of these supporters is so appreciated. Without regular support the ministry would not have grown to what it is today and would not be able to continue.
Then there are people who love to give to projects. If there is a need, these people like to designate to the need. This month there were several mentioned. Funds for materials for building a paint shop, a new printer, traveling expenses for missionaries to go to the Talledega Races, individual support for new missionaries and several other requests.
As the mail keeps coming in many of the special requests have been met. One family sent an additional offering along with their monthly support through PayPal. A church donated a used printer that is better than any SOS Events could afford. Another person sent a check to help with traveling expenses. One special needs supporter gave SOS access to their account with a printing company to get banners printed for our missionaries. (A need that was not even mentioned in the newsletter). One of the local pastors donated some new lumber to help with the paint shop project. God uses people to meet the needs of the ministry and first Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. Then a big Thank You to every supporter who love to see souls come to Christ and gives. Every gift is a blessing and is used with the goal of seeing more people come to know JESUS.

15 reasons why Christians do not win souls
SOS Events ministry has many needs. One of the main ones this month is a new printer for the office as the one we have is many years old and has been a great machine but in need of replacing.
To make the need known it was listed in the “Life Saver News” SOS monthly newsletter. Before the letter was mailed one of SOS supporters called and said their family had been blessed with some extra money and did SOS have a need that they could give to.
They did donate most of the money for the new printer which is on the way.
God knew the need before it was published and provided before He was asked. Praise the Lord.
Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Sylvia and Yongei came to Florida from Iowa to work in the booth at Strawberry Festival this year. In this picture they are with a man they led to the Lord. This is the second time they have come to join with SOS at the Festival. They fly in, rent a car and stay at a hotel all at their own expense which is a great blessing.
When they were here they received a copy of the book “101 Salvation Stories”, read some of the stories and decided to take copies back to their Bible study group. They gave each person a copy and a week later asked one of the ladies, Sue, if she had read it. Sue said she had but realized she was not saved while reading the book. They immediately led Sue into a relationship with the Lord and are rejoicing in her salvation. Recently we have received 2 more reports of people being saved in Iowa. SOS Training and participation changes lives, both for the new converts and the soul winners.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
