Jams Dean Festival in Fairmount, Indiana has now ended. 35 Salvations were recorded. In this picture is Alice and a young family. The Mom and Dad made a decision to follow Jesus at the Festival. Special thanks to Scott and Joyce, SOS Events Indiana Team Leaders, and Liberty Baptist Church in Sweetser for the many things they did to make this event successful. Also, thank you to New Hope Baptist Church in Gas City for their faithful support. Both these churches have helped and supported SOS Events for many years. The goal is to win people to the Lord and God once again has blessed. All the glory goes to Him.
Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
A little humor for you today, with a lesson. It is important to read your Bible and communicate with God daily. He will give you direction, wisdom, and answers to life’s problems in His Word.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
God takes the B,
The A,
The D,
And turns them into GOOD.
We don’t know how he does this thing, or even why he should.
It always works, it never fails. For those whose hearts are true;
All things may be against us, but Christ makes all things new.
He takes the S,
The A,
The D,
And turns them into GLAD,
Though it may take a while to see how good can come from bad.
Don’t falter, then, or feet or fail, just search his word and rest;
Though it may differ from our own his plan is always best.

Proverbs 3:5&6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
SOS Events Ministry has many wonderful volunteers who work in the booth at events and we are thankful for everyone. This week we were extremely blessed to have two retired Pastors work in our booth, both for the first time. Jay, 85 years old, talking to two people at the display board and David, in his 70’s, witnessing from the smaller display. Cynthia, mother of 5 and not a senior citizen, is at the table. Jay and David loved working with SOS Events as it gives them opportunity to do what they love best, telling others about Jesus. If you are retired or know someone who is and wants to witness in a non confrontational way for a few hours when needed, SOS Events is the perfect place for you.
Isaiah 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
Watching the sunrise is a time realize how wonderful and beautiful is God’s creation. The colors and majesty in His handiwork is amazing. If you are too busy this time of year to look up and see Him in the beauty around you, you are too busy. Take a minute or two today and appreciate what God has done.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”. Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging.
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
First day at the NASCAR races in Talladega, Alabama. Pray that many race car fans will come to one of the SOS Events booths to be saved during this 3 day event. We Praise the Lord for this great opportunity and thank the Alabama team who have won many people in the past.
Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Brian, 25 years old, has only been working for the concession company for one week. The first place that he worked is the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. His home is in North Carolina. His Grandmother has been praying for him for years. Brian came into the SOS Events booth and was saved. Coincidence? No! God gave him that job and lead him to that booth in answer to his Grandmother’s prayers.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Sometime things don’t work out as we plan. First, yesterday, the SOS Events van would not start and 3 of us were waiting for several hours for a tow truck in a shopping center when we were supposed to be decorating the Strawberry Festival booth. The van is now in a repair shop and the booth still needs to be finished. Then there was a training at a church and we were promised a room to train in but when we arrived the room was not available as promised. The only place left was the cafeteria where people came to eat the Wednesday night meal. So we set up in a corner of that noisy filled room and trained 6 people in spite of the confusion. We now have several new soul winners to work the Festival. The enemy tries to discourage but the Lord brings the victory if we keep on doing what He wants us to do no matter what the circumstances.
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
