Gil and Kevin from New Port Richey, Fl came to the SOS office to be trained as trainers yesterday. Alice did a fine job working with them.
Someone from their church got a tract from the Plant City Farmers Market, took it to Kevin who called the office for tracts. Then he asked for a presentation at his church. Alice did the presentation and Kevin and Gil were impressed to come and be trained to get others involved soul winning at events.
There are many local events in the New Port Richey area which will now have SOS workers.
God is great and all the thanks and praise goes to Him for the blessings of new trainers. Please pray for them as they teach and bring more souls to Christ.

Ephesians 1:16
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Bible Studies

November 13, 2014

The Bible Studies on our website gets thousands of people searching for them. These studies have been a blessing in our lives personally, but have been a way for Christian growth to the people who have used them, not only in our country but all over the world.
Today we are thankful The Bible studies and the many people who have been able to use them from this website.

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Mealtime Prayer

This simple prayer is taught to small children as a blessing for their food. We as adults sometimes forget the importance of thanking God for our meal, or maybe we are ashamed to bow our heads in public to give thanks if we are at a restaurant or at a business lunch. Even JESUS gave thanks for the provisions that God gave. Let us follow His example at every meal.

Matthew 15:36
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Your Calling

November 11, 2014

Are you thankful to be where you are in life? It may not be a place of your choosing, but God has you there for a reason.
You may be a student that is struggling with studies or relationships, maybe you are a young adult with problems you feel you cannot understand. Middle age brings different things that may be great but with more responsibility than you would like, or the later years when illness or loneliness is your lot in life right now.
God wants to use you where you are and He has allowed you to be exactly where you are.
Be thankful! If you thank Him for your “calling” He will reveal to you His plan and purpose.
Read I Corinthians 7:20-24

1 Corinthians 7:20
Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Journey of Thankfulness

November 10, 2014

November is the time of year when we should be focusing on the things that we are thankful for. Everyday, in the blog the purpose this month is to call your attention to the ways you can be thankful.
As the day dawns each morning my thoughts immediately go to what am I thankful for today? What can I write that will cause others to Praise the Lord for all His blessings?
My heart has been filled with gratitude, joy and fullness of the presence of God.
God has a plan for each of our lives and one thing He says is to give thanks in all things. When we do, even if times are stressful or seemingly impossible He then gives that inner peace and joy the only a child of God can know.
It is still early in November and it is hard to wait until tomorrow to see what my Journey of thankfulness will bring to my heart. Come join me on the journey.

Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

We Thank God

November 9, 2014

1 Thessalonians 2:13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

October-November are two of the busiest months of the year for all the workers at SOS. Reports keep coming in of souls being saved at events. Sometimes there will be 2 or 3 events going on the same day.
We are thankful for each person who receives the Word of God and makes a decision to follow Him.
We are thankful for every worker who will go and present the Gospel. The soul winners are of all ages, a few teens, young adults and some even into their 80’s. God has truly blessed SOS Events Ministry and we Praise Him for all that He does. We go and He gives the increase.

Be Thankful

November 8, 2014

“Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.”

~ Author Unknown

Psalm 92:1
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Delivery Man

November 7, 2014

IMG_1387.JPG
Diego, a delivery man came to the home of SOS founder, Tom Curtis, to deliver a walker for Tom so he can be more steady as he walks.
Diego was down on his knees putting the equipment together and Tom asked him, “What if you fell over right here and died, do you know where you would go?”
Diego paused, and seemed deep in thought. “I have no idea,” he said.
“Would you like to know how you can be 100% sure you are on your way to heaven?”, Tom asked.
Diego said he really wanted to know.
Tom then explained how JESUS died, was buried and rose again on the third day.
Diego believed and prayed to be saved. He was so happy to know for sure and was delighted to know he will be getting Bible studies in the mail.
It has been a mystery why Tom has not recovered more quickly from his illness, but God has a bigger plan. One soul is worth whatever it takes, and Diego would not have been in Tom’s life had he not needed that walker.
The Bible tells us to be thankful in all things.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks:for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Thank You Lord

November 6, 2014

Many of you may know the song “Thank You Lord For Saving My Soul” as a chorus sung usually by children in Sunday School, but the song has great verses also. Think about what you are thankful for as you read the verses:

Some thank the Lord for friends and home
Some thank the Lord for friends and home
For mercies sure and sweet
But I would praise Him for his grace
In prayer I would repeat

Refrain:
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free

Some thank Him for the flow’rs that grow
Some for the stars that shine
My heart is filled with joy and praise
Because I know He’s mine

I trust in Him from day to day
I prove His saving grace
I’ll sing this song of praise to Him
Until I see His face
By Seth and Bessie Sykes

2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
