Jane is pictured here with a new convert at the Flea Market. Jane loves soul winning at events. Many senior citizens feel they have deserved a rest and do not want to spend time witnessing.
Jane is now investing her time, for the many rewards she will lay at Jesus feet in Heaven.
Her testimony is that she never won anyone to The Lord until she started working with SOS.
God has blessed SOS Events with soul winners of all ages. The youngest to witness in a booth was 12 years old and there have been some that are in their 70’s and 80’s.
Anyone can learn to witness using the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do.”
The joy of seeing a soul come to Christ is the greatest pleasure we can have here on earth.
Contact SOS for more information if you would like to learn more.

John 4:36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

Jesus Instructions for Witnessing

March 14, 2014

Jesus taught and trained His disciples for 3 years the art of soul winning.
After Jesus was resurrected He instructed His disciples to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father.

Acts 1:6-8
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
And he said unto them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

SOS Events is scheduling 3 hour trainings this spring. If you are coming to Florida and would like to come to a training contact SOS: email info@sosevents.org.

Are You a Fisher of Men?

March 13, 2014

As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw 2 men, Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother. They were fishermen and Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Soul winners are made, not born. To be an effective witness, you must be taught, trained and motivated by the Holy Spirit.
One of the purposes of SOS Events is to teach Christians how to be taught to witness for The Lord. If you need to be a better witness, SOS has the tools and training to help you. Contact us by phone: 813-494-7512 or email: info@sosevents.org.

Matthew 4:19
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

This Is My Father’s World

March 12, 2014

This morning while looking for something to share with those of you who follow the blog, I came across something that took me back to my childhood.
Looking in the history of hymns, there is one I remember singing in church as a child, “This Is My Father’s World”.
I was born and grew up in Lockport, NY and discovered that Maltbie Babcock, author of the hymn, was the Pastor of the Presbyterian church in Lockport when he wrote the hymn back in the 1890’s.
This is a beautiful old hymn that I have not heard since I was a child.

“This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget,
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world, The battle is not done,
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and Heaven be one.”

Psalms 50:b
For the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

Youth

March 11, 2014

The girl in this picture is Beka, 15 years old and already a soul winner. The 2 young men got saved at Strawberry Festival. There was a total of 213 decisions this year.
Beka loves to be in the booth and started when she was 13. She also works in the office after school 2 days a week. Beka is a great example to other teens.
The youth of America needs to be busy about the Lord’s business.

1 Timothy 4:12
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Spring Ahead, Fall Back

March 10, 2014

Time change. One of the difficult things in life for me is the time change that we, in many states of the USA, go through twice a year.
Spring ahead, fall back is how we remember which way to set our clocks.
Man is always trying to improve what God has done.
God created the times and the seasons and before our lives got so “scheduled”, in simpler times, people got up when it got light and went to bed when it got dark.
If you, like me are finding it difficult to adjust to the new time schedule, let us rejoice that in Heaven there will be no time change. Looking forward to that Day.

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Jesus is Coming Again

March 9, 2014

“He came the first time to die; He is coming again to raise the dead. When He came the first time, they questioned whether He was King; the next time the world will know that He is King of kings and Lord of lords. The first time He wore a crown of thorns; the next time He will be wearing a crown of glory. The first time He came in poverty; the next time He is coming in power. The first time He had an escort of angels; the next time He will come with ten thousands of His saints. The first time He came in meekness; He is coming again in majesty.”
Adrian Rogers

Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Tornado Warning

March 8, 2014

Events like fairs, flea markets and other outside activities depend on the weather to bring in the crowds.
On Thursday this week, the weather report was not good. Tornado watches and warnings were broadcast most of the day. Rain came down and the wind blew.
SOS staff had prayed for good weather for Strawberry Festival and now we have Tornado warnings. Nobody will come to Strawberry Festival in this weather was my thought.
Our booth is inside a stone building, only one of 2 permanent buildings that are on Strawberry Festival property.
Where would people go to get out of this horrible weather? Inside the safest building they could find. Ten precious souls were saved on Thursday in just 4 hours.
My faith was small but God turned that bad situation into a BIG blessing.

Matthew 8:26
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Not By Works

March 7, 2014

Enjoy the cartoon but the message is true. We must remember it is God that uses us as His vessels. It is not our works that save us, nor is it our work that saves the new convert at SOS events. To God be the glory for every soul that comes to Him.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Faces of Joy

March 6, 2014

A picture is worth 1000 words the saying goes. This couple, along with SOS worker, Randy, are just 2 of the people who have been saved so far at Strawberry Festival.
Four more days to go so please pray with us for a harvest of souls and protection for the soul winners.
