“God has had all there was of me to have.” William Booth
He was the founder of the Salvation Army. In those days he took people to the streets to witness for The Lord. His desire was to see souls saved. Oh that we as Christians would have that same desire today. SOS can teach you how to witness to others both one on one and at events.
Go to our training videos, watch them and if you need tracts or materials email or call SOS.
Quote for today,
May 21, 2013Personal word
May 18, 2013Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of my son, John R. Slater, Sr. He was a Godly man, a husband, father, grandfather,
brother and son. Also, was the pastor in several churches over the years and his main passion in God’s work was missions. He spent time in Africa, the Philippines and other places serving The Lord and winning others to Christ.
He asked me once if I thought he could be great for God. God used him in many ways with many people. I personally know of four young preachers who The Lord called home early and we sometimes question, why?
God says his ways are not our ways so we may not know why until we get to Heaven.
The assurance of Heaven and the knowledge we will see our loved ones again is the great promise God has given us. So today, I am thankful God allowed me to be the mother of John and also my son Paul who are waiting for me and we will one day rejoice together in Heaven.

A New Pledge Allegiance
May 15, 2013This was sent to us by a friend. A little long but so true.
BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID
who got an A+ for this entry
Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And The Lord’s Prayer
Are not allowed in most
Public schools anymore
Because the word ‘God’ is mentioned…..
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached
NEW School prayer:
“New Pledge of Allegiance”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That’s no offense; it’s a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God’s name is prohibited by the state.
We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks…
They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the ‘unwed daddy,’ our Senior King.
It’s ‘inappropriate’ to teach right from wrong,
We’re taught that such ‘judgments’ do not belong..
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It’s scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I die My soul please take!
Amen
.

Mother’s Day
May 11, 2013The Bible says in Exodus 20:12: Honor thy father and mother: … Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and if your Mom is still on earth do something special for her.
If you are a Mom, may The Lord bless you abundantly.
If your Mother has passed on then tomorrow remember her by thanking The Lord for all she did for you.
Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms.
Are you discouraged?
May 8, 2013Billy Graham says, “Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in our lives. Discouragement blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us perceive only the unfavorable circumstances. I have never met a person who spent time in daily prayer, in the study of the Word of God, and who was strong in the faith who was ever discouraged for very long.
3 Things God Can Not Do
May 6, 2013See 3 Things God Can Not Do
1. God Can Not Lie Titus 1:2
2. God Can Not Change Malachi 3:6
3. God Can Not Let Anyone into Heaven Unless He is Born Again John 3:3-5
Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?
A. Admit you have sinned. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD.”
B. believe on The Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised Jesus from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
C. Call upon The Lord. 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord, shall be saved.
Call upon The Lord by praying. Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
Today we put this salvation invitation on the blog because one of our young friends wanted a clear way to present the gospel to one of her friends. These simple verses explain how you can know for sure that you can go to Heaven. If anyone reads this and invites Jesus into your heart please let us know so we can send you a Bible lesson free of charge..
Handing Out Tracts
May 5, 2013Tom gave a man a Bible tract.
The man said, “If I go to church the church will probably burn down.”
Tom told him, “The church is up to code and probably will not burn up, but if you do not accept Christ you will.”
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
SeniorServants
May 3, 2013Yesterday SOS had a great day with our Senior Servants. This group of ladies from several different churches in the area come to the property once a month and work on projects necessary to helping SOS get out the gospel. Sometimes they’ll put tracts in baggies, or stuff envelopes for mailings. Various jobs that are important to the ministry.
We always have prayer, which is our most important need.
Lunch is the highlight of the morning with a different theme each month. May was a tea. Delicious.
If you know anyone in the Tampa Bay Area who would enjoy working in the ministry once a month call our office 813-494-7927. We have several ladies who are not yet senior citizens and our oldest senior is 94 years of age.
SOS can also use male volunteers. Lunch is always provided.
Are you forgiven?
April 30, 2013SOS Events Ministry desires to reach as many people as possible with the message that they can be forgiven. If you are forgiven then you also must share this good news with others.
If you do not know how to tell others, if you are afraid or have some other excuse contact SOS and we will help you to be a witness. Info@sosevents.org is our email.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
