Faith Not Fear!

August 18, 2026

David faced a giant who seemed impossible to defeat. Goliath was bigger, stronger, and far more experienced in battle. But David did not focus on the size of the giant. He focused on the greatness of his God.

David knew where his strength came from. His confidence was not in himself, his sling, or the stones in his hand. His confidence was in the Lord.

We all face “giants” in our lives—problems that seem too big, circumstances we cannot control, or fears about what may happen tomorrow. When those times come, we have a choice. We can talk about how big the problem is, or we can remember how great our God is.

Don’t talk fear. Talk faith. God is still greater than anything we will ever face.

1 Samuel 17:45 KJV
“Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.”

Whatever giant you are facing today, put your faith in the Lord. The giant may be big, but our God is bigger!

Six Precious Souls Saved in Pennsylvania

August 17, 2026

What a blessing to hear good news from Limerick, Pennsylvania! Last Saturday, six people accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

We are so thankful for Donna and Brian Gottshall and their faithfulness in sharing the Gospel through SOS Events Ministry. Every person who trusts Christ is precious, and we rejoice that six more souls now know the wonderful gift of salvation.

God continues to use faithful volunteers who are willing to go, share His Word, and tell others how they can know for sure they are going to Heaven. Praise the Lord for these six decisions and for another opportunity to see the Gospel change lives!

Please continue to pray for Donna and Brian and the SOS Events teams in Pennsylvania as they faithfully share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13 KJV

Have A Blessed Sunday

August 16, 2026

Today is Sunday—a special day to worship the Lord and thank Him for who He is and for all He has done.

“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Worship is more than singing a song or attending church. It is humbling our hearts before God and recognizing that He is our Creator, our Savior, and our Lord.

As we gather together today, may we put aside the distractions of the week and simply worship Him. He alone is worthy of our praise.

Have a blessed Sunday, and take time today to worship the Lord!

Ohio Praise Report!

August 15, 2026

What a wonderful report from the SOS Events team at the Friday night car show in Perrysburg, Ohio!

Seven precious people trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior last night! Praise God! That brings the total to 121 salvations so far this year, and there are still more events to come.

We are so thankful for the faithful SOS Events volunteers who continue to go week after week, sharing the Gospel and giving people the opportunity to hear how they can know for sure they are on their way to Heaven.

Every number represents a precious soul. What a blessing to see God working in Perrysburg!

Praise the Lord for 7 more salvations and 121 souls so far! Please continue to pray as the team keeps sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth…” — Luke 15:7 KJV

Praise the Lord—He Answers Prayer

August 14, 2026

One of the greatest blessings in the Christian life is knowing that we have a God who hears us when we pray.

Sometimes His answer comes quickly, and sometimes we must wait. Sometimes He answers exactly the way we hoped, and other times His answer is different because He knows what is best. But we can always trust that God hears the prayers of His children.

Looking back, I can see so many times when the Lord has answered prayer—providing a need, giving strength during a difficult time, protecting someone I love, opening a door, or working in a situation that seemed impossible.

Today, I simply want to say, Praise the Lord! Thank You, Jesus, for hearing and answering prayer.

Whatever you are praying about today, keep praying and keep trusting. God is listening.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.” — Psalm 116:1 KJV

New York News

August 13, 2026

The two SOS Events Ministry teams in New York have been busy sharing the Gospel! One team is led by Scott Dabill, and the other by Joe Russo.

Recently, the teams have ministered at the Niagara County Fair and another smaller event in Ransomville. What a blessing to know that through these events, 4 precious people accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior!

There were also many other opportunities to talk with people, share the Gospel, and plant seeds of God’s Word. We may not always see the results immediately, but God has promised that His Word will accomplish His purpose.

Please continue to pray for Scott, Joe, and all the faithful volunteers in New York as they take the Gospel wherever the Lord opens a door.

Praise the Lord for the four salvations and for every opportunity to tell someone about Jesus!

“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” — 1 Corinthians 3:7 KJV

Blessing Of Family

August 12, 2026

This past weekend I had the wonderful blessing of spending time with some of my children and their spouses. What a joy it was to be together, sharing memories, laughing about days gone by, and simply enjoying one another’s company.

As I looked around at my family, my heart was filled with thankfulness. Through the years there have been many changes, but one of my greatest blessings is knowing that my children love and serve the Lord. There is no greater joy for a mother than to see her family walking with God.

Time with family is precious. We never know how many opportunities we will have to all be together, so these special times should never be taken for granted. I thank the Lord for each one of them and for the wonderful memories we made together this weekend.

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” — 3 John 1:4 KJV

Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of family and for children who walk in Your truth. What a joy!

Don’t Give Up

August 11, 2026

Sometimes we get tired. We pray, serve, give, encourage others, and try to do what God wants us to do, but we may not see the results we hoped for.

God reminds us in Galatians 6:9—don’t give up!

Every prayer matters. Every kind word can make a difference. Every time the Gospel is shared, a seed is planted. We may not always see what God is doing, but He is working.

This is especially true in ministry. There may be days when we become discouraged, but then one person accepts Jesus as Savior, and we are reminded why we keep going.

Keep praying. Keep serving. Keep sharing Jesus.

God promises that “in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Today, if you are weary, ask the Lord for renewed strength. Your labor for Him is never in vain.

Monday! May You Have Great Week!
