Happy Birthday!

October 29, 2016


Today the blog is in memory of Tom Curtis, founder of SOS EVENTS Ministry. He would have been 80. He was a man who loved God and was a great witness for the Lord. His desire was not only to see souls saved but to get other Christians to be soul winners.

Mission accomplished in his life. SOS Events has seen over 50,000 souls saved in 15 years and hundreds of Christians trained and witnessing all over the USA and beyond. So while we miss him today we celebrate his life by releasing balloons with tracts hoping that whoever finds a balloon will read the tract and be saved.

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Blessing for a New Christian 

September 27, 2016

It is so great to hear what the Lord does for a new Christian. At The SOS Events booth in Pennsylvania, recently, a mother and a boy about 12 years old were saved. The next day they were both in church. This is the mother’s testimony;

At the auction on Saturday there was a drum set that my son really wanted. He had saved $15 to buy this drum set. The bidding started, he proudly bid up to his $15 and a lady in the crowd quickly overbid him. His disappointment was evident on his face, he did not cry but everyone could tell how disappointed he was.

There was a man in the crowd that started bidding against the lady, and soon the price had risen to $100. The lady stopped bidding and the drum set was given to the man. He turned to the young boy and gave him the drum set.

The mother’s comment was that nothing like that has ever happened to her family. She was so excited that she and her son have been saved and immediately the Lord brought blessings into their lives. She told many people at church that Sunday about the blessings that came from the Lord.

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Faithful Workers

Dale and Dorothy Brown are SOS Events leaders and good friends of the ministry from Alabama. Dale is on the Board of Directors of SOS Events, they both have worked, supported and prayed for SOS since it began in 2001. This is a picture from the weekend where they along  with many other volunteers from Alabama traveled to Pensacola, Florida and there at an event had 20 decisions for Christ. 

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.


Weekend Blessngs

September 18, 2016

Thanks to everyone who prayed for SOS Events this busy weekend. Friday night and Saturday  4 events were held in 3 states Alabama, Florida and Pennsylvania. There was a total. 46 decisions for Christ.

All the volunteers did a wonderful job and God blessed their efforts.This picture is some of the Alabama team, working with the Faith Riders, (A Christian motorcycle group), Friday night. There were five decisions for Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Joy in the Morning

September 3, 2016

The storm has passed our area. The electric companies worked tirelessly to restore power to the thousands of Floridians who lost electricity, cleanup of downed trees and flooded homes are now in progress. Waking this morning to sunshine and a new day there is praise in my heart to the Lord for safety and His wonderful mercy and care. The quote by Govenor Rick Scott is so true, “You can rebuild a home. You can rebuild property,” Scott said. “You cannot rebuild a life.”

One man did loose his life in the storm, and we sorrow for the loss of life, but it could have been so much worse. So if you are working to clean the debris and mess left behind, take a moment to thank the Lord for His mercy and look at the sunshine after the storm. Joy comes in the morning.

Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

The Balloon, Necklace and A Parking Place

August 26, 2016

What do these 3 things have in common? They are all answers to a child’s prayer. For the next three days you will be able to find out how God answers prayer of a little child.

When Diana’s son, Anthony, was very young he went shopping with his Mom. It is typical for a child to want something at a store and he saw this beautiful balloon. He wanted it but money was short then and Diana told him they didn’t have money for the balloon.

“Why don’t you ask Jesus for the balloon?” his mother told him. So Anthony prayed and did ask Jesus for the balloon.

When the mail came there was a letter from Diana’s Mom with one dollar in it. Just enough for Anthony’s balloon. They went and brought the balloon. A little boy’s prayer was answered even before he asked because the letter was mailed days before.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Aggravation Blessings

August 1, 2016

Sometimes aggravation can turn into a blessing. About a month ago Carolyn won a young man to the Lord named, Carlos. He is a Service man for SOS Events Wi-Fi system that we use for the office as well as the home on the property. 

After a severe storm last week the Wi-Fi system was not working well so we called for service. The service man who came was the same Carlos and Carolyn was able to talk with him some more about his new faith and she gave him the book 101 Salvation Stories. He was happy to receive it. It was such a blessing to see him again and know that he is growing in his Christian faith.

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

A Special Find

June 14, 2016

“God Will Carry You Through” is the title of a book by Max Lucado. Not necessarily one of my favorite authors but I found this book on my bookshelf with a personal note from my husband, Tom Curtis, who went home to be with the Lord one month ago today. (This book sat on the shelf for 2 years and I never picked it up until today)

How special and wonderful is the Lord. The note said, “The Lord showed me this book. Read it before you write the blog. I love you. Tom

How perfect. The blessing is to know That God will carry me through and He will carry you through each problem and difficulty in life. The Bible has so many wonderful verses to help in every situation. All we have to do is trust Him and claim the promises in His Word.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Obedience 

June 5, 2016

Obedience is what God says, when He says, for whatever reason He says and where He says. We learn to obey God by trusting Him and waiting on Him in prayer. You cannot live an obedient life without the Bible.

Job 36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Great Week

June 3, 2016

This was a great week for SOS Events, sharing Christ in the Marketplace in Florida. Ten received Jesus at Webster Flea Market on Monday, Memorial Day, and five at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. God is faithful not willing that anyone should perish.

John 1:12 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:
