Little Things
November 5, 2014Do Something, Vote
November 4, 2014Today is Election Day in the USA. You can do something to exercise your rights as a citizen of our country. VOTE. Many people, even those who may read this do not have the freedom we in America have. Our forefathers fought for our freedom and came to America FOR religious freedom. (Not from religion)
Give thanks to God and do something, vote. Think about what God has given to us and be thankful we still have the privilege to go to the polls and voice our opinion through our vote. One vote can make the difference.
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Freedom to Vote
November 3, 2014If you are a citizen of the USA, you have something wonderful to be thankful for, FREEDOM. Tomorrow is Election Day. It is your duty and privilege to vote for the candidate that you feel will do the best job of running the government.
Also, in several states there are important amendments that could change your way of life. Today do some research and tomorrow get out and vote.
Our freedom was and is not free. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Do something. VOTE!
Worry Less
November 2, 2014“We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.”
Harry Ironsides, American Preacher
November is the time Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. This month the blog will focus on the many ways we should be thankful. The Bible talks about giving thanks in everything. God has blessed us in so many ways.
Most of all our thanks should be to God for sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. But it did not end there, He rose again. We know we can be saved and on our way to Heaven. Repent, believe and receive JESUS today and then thank Him for salvation.
2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Candy and the Gospel
November 1, 2014
Diana is on staff at the home office of SOS. She is our office manager, secretary of our Board of Directors, trainer and most of all an avid soul winner.
Every year on Halloween she sets up a booth in her yard for the many Trick or Treaters that come to her house for candy. She gives them more than candy they seek. She gives them the Gospel. Last night 5 young people made decisions for salvation and several more children and parents received a Bible tracts.
Diana uses every opportunity given to present the plan of salvation to the lost.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Happy Birthday
October 29, 2014
Today is Tom Curtis’ birthday. He is 78 years old. His life has been a life of joys and hardships. In 1980 he was saved after the death of his son, Nick.
Nick was playing at home with friends when a gasoline can tipped over and another kid through a match at him. He was burned over 80% of his body and lived for 3 months. The last day of Nick’s life he asked his Dad this question, “Dad, do you know Jesus Christ personally?”
Tom answered, “Nick, there is no way to know Jesus, He is dead.”
Nick replied, “Dad, I know Him.” And that was the last words Nick spoke, he died.
Tom was a broken man. Nine years later he was invited to church and heard the Gospel for the first time and was saved.
Tom has followed the Lord faithfully since that day and has been a successful businessman, father, grandfather, husband and friend to many.
His heart’s desire has been to be a witness to everyone he meets and together with his wife founded SOS Events Ministry.
Thousands of souls have been saved through Tom’s life and ministry.
Happy Birthday, Tom. May God continue to bless you.
If you would like to talk to Tom he is always ready to listen and pray for you. Call him at 813-784-8242.

that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Fear by John Westley

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
a good understanding have all they that do his commandments:
his praise endureth for ever.
The Bonsai Tree
October 27, 2014SOS Events had a booth at a County fair. In the booth next to ours was a Chinese man, who sold bonsai trees.
When things were slow, the SOS worker, asked the Chinese man,”How are things going?”
In broken English, the man replied, “Slow, I need to sell my Bonsai trees.”
“Which one would you like to sell?”
The Chinese man pointed to one of the most expensive of his bonsai trees.
“I will pray and ask God to bless you and that you will sell that bonsai tree,”
The next day, the SOS worker, came into the booth and the Chinese man with great excitement came over and ask her this question, “Who is your God and what is his name? After you left yesterday, a lady came by and bought that bonsai tree. Your God answers prayer.”
Thinking quickly, the SOS worker said, “His name is Jesus.”
“I want to know this Jesus,” the Chinese man replied.
Throughout the day when things were slow, The salvation story was explained to this Chinese man.
The next day, the man came over to the SOS booth and said, “I did it, I asked Jesus into my heart.”
SOS found a Chinese church in the man’s hometown so that his wife and mother could hear the gospel also.
What a joy to have the opportunity to lead someone from halfway around the world to the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
