We, Tom and Carolyn Curtis celebrate our anniversary today, January 5. When God brought us together He not only gave us a wonderful marriage but directed us to start SOS Events in 2001.
Since that time over 35,000 people have made decisions for Christ through SOS Events.
We are so thankful for God’s plan for us and for this ministry that has been so effective in winning souls to Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 3:11
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
A Happy Anniversary
January 5, 2014Are You Making a Difference?
January 4, 2014There is a story about a little boy walking along the seashore that was filled with star fish that had been washed up on the sand. The little boy walked along picking up every star fish that he could and tossed them back into the sea.
A man came along and said, “Why bother with those, there are too many, and they will just die.”
The boy answered as he picked up another one, “it makes a difference to this one.”
There are over 7 billion people in the world, and as an individual we can not win them all to Christ, but we can witness and make a difference in a persons life, one at a time.
Will you make a difference to someone today?
Jude 1:22
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Do You Sit Idle?
January 3, 2014“Could a mariner sit idle, if he heard the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men men burn and give no hand?
Can you sit at ease at home, with the world around you damned?”
SOS can train you to spread the Gospel and supply all you need to be an effective witness. Contact us at info@sosevents.org.
God Does Answer
January 2, 2014When God gives us a no for an answer, keep in mind that there is a much greater yes behind it.
It is not a rejection but a redirection.
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

All Things Become New
December 31, 2013Today is New Years Eve. A lot of people will be out celebrating and partying, not thinking or caring about The Lord. Many make resolutions that will be broken in a week or two, but true followers of Christ look forward to serving Him and being obedient in the coming year.
Let us use this time to recommit our time and talent to Serving Our Savior.
God gave us a new beginning when He sent His Son, Jesus to die on the cross. When we accepted Him old things passed away and all things became new in our lives.
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.
Witnessing in the New Year
December 30, 2013The soul winners at SOS Events, witnessing in events for many years, believe that in half of churches in America 50% of church members will never see heaven.
Isn’t it a shame that the churches of today send missionaries all over the world but do not send people out right here in America to tell others about Jesus Christ. The problem is that most Christians believe that it is someone else who must share the gospel. Not everyone that hears will be saved but they need to have the choice. The Bible says everyone must HEAR the gospel and then the Holy Spirit will bring them into the kingdom of God. It is every Christian’s responsibility to be a witness.
This new year, why don’t we ask God to bring to us the opportunity to witness and to see people be saved.
Acts 1:8
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.
A New Year Coming
December 29, 20132013 is almost over. Just a few more days to reflect on this past year. Every year has both joy and sorrow. Maybe this year there was a new birth in your family, or you had a promotion on your job or moved into a new house. Think of the joy that you had this past year.
Then there may have been sorrow, a death in the family that has left a huge hole in your heart, or maybe you lost your job or your house is foreclosed.
Contrasts in life is a normal thing for man. The good news is that there is a new year coming that is like a blank canvas. God will bring some blessings and He may allow some sorrow, but it is always exciting to look forward to the new year and know that God will direct our path if we trust Him.
Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
John the Baptist
December 28, 2013John the Baptist knew who Jesus was and declared it to everyone who would listen. He was a witness. Those of us who are saved also know who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we have a responsibility to tell others.
Ask The Lord to give you opportunity to tell someone about Him today.
John 1:34
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
The Best Gift
December 27, 2013Did you receive a gift for Christmas that you really liked?
Do you remember a gift you got last year? Most of us do not remember past gifts unless it was something really special that has sentimental meaning.
There is one gift, that if you have received it, you will not forget and it is something that will last for eternity.
The Lord Jesus. Today reflect on the verse, John 1:12.
John 1:12
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
