10 Blessings

March 19, 2016

God gives His children many blessings. The challenge for you today is to stop and name ten blessings the Lord has given you. It would be a good idea to do that daily. Sometimes we as Christians can be negative. Let’s look at the positive every day and our negativity will disappear.

My ten blessings for today are as follows:

1. Salvation (He took me out of the mire and placed me on solid ground)

2. The Bible (my guidebook for living)

3. Prayer (He hears and answers)

4. My spouse (my friend, companion, helper, lover)

5. Children (sons and daughters who love me and are there in times of joy and sorrow)

6. Grandchildren (the little ones make me smile and the older ones give me joy as they serve the Lord)

7. Great grandchildren (it is a blessing to see them born and watch them grow)

8. The promise of Heaven (many of my loved ones have gone on but I will see them again, glad reunion)

9. Friends (people who love me and stick by me through whatever happens, most of all they pray for me)

10. SOS Events ministry (many opportunities to see people come to Christ and a way I can serve the Lord)

These are only 10 of the many blessings God has given me. How about you?

Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Alabama Salvation Story

March 14, 2016

We had a lady, Sam, gain assurance of her salvation at the recent SOS personal witnessing training at the end of the Jonah Bible Study at Eastmont a couple of weeks ago. Lynda Coley, a trained SOS volunteer, led her in that assurance and in documenting it. The lady made the decision to get baptized because of the assurance and when Jeremy Lynch went to talk with her about the baptism, he ended up leading her husband, Dale, to Christ!! Now he is getting baptized with his wife this Sunday!! They will have several rows of family there to watch the baptisms which means more chances for her the rest of her family and friends to come to Christ or rededicate their lives. Sam’s sister’s name is Suzanne and her parents names are David & Gladys.

SOS Events has many stories similar to this one. God uses various things to bring people to salvation. Training, events, personal witnessing and visitation are all things that are taught by SOS Events. All the praise belongs to the Lord. He is the One who saves. We are His witnesses and He brings the increase.

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

SOS Events Spanish Ministry

February 18, 2016

Soul winning and teaching others to win souls is the main purpose of SOS Events ministry. It is a great joy to see people come to know the Lord through the various events that take place.

God is richly blessing with many Spanish speaking people in our area coming to the Lord. Pastor Romero and his team go the Lakeland Flea Market every Sunday and turned in 89 decision slips this week. Those results were for several Sundays.

The Bible says to go into all the world and preach the gospel but in Florida many from other countries come to us. To God be the Glory!

Mark 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Can’t Go To Church

January 24, 2016

Many of our friends and family on the East Coast cannot go to church today, because of the blizzard snowstorm that took place this weekend. 

What a wonderful opportunity to gather your family together and worship God.Sing together, read the Bible and pray. It is also a good time to thank the Lord for His blessings. He brought you through the storm safely, you have food to eat and fellowship with your family. Worshiping together at home teaches your children that God can be worshiped any place.

Sometimes we cannot go to church for other reasons than the storm. Maybe a sick child or you are sick yourself. Do not neglect to worship God whatever the circumstance. Every day should be a day of worship, so this is good advice on a daily basis.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

SOS Blog

January 14, 2016

People from Seventy countries got on SOS Events blog in 2015 and nearly 20,000 people had opportunity to be encouraged, study the Bible lessons and get saved.Only God knows how many folks found the Lord or dedicated their lives to Him through the blessings of the website and privilege of writing something from scripture each day.

Please continue to pray that more people will discover the website and blog and want to learn more about Jesus and how to get to heaven.

Hebrews 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

 

Reflection & Future

January 12, 2016

Our 15 years of marriage has been special with trials and learning experiences for Carolyn & I. God allows trails to increase our faith. We look back and can see what GOD has done. Carolyn loves me & I love her and GOD loves us, nothing can stop GOD as He leads, guides and directs us and the Ministry. We both enjoy all God has provided.
The ministry has brought love joy & peace to many including Carolyn & myself. Pray that SOS Events ministry will grow in 2016 so we can reach thousands more of hurting people who do not know Jesus Christ.
We need motivated people who have GREAT faith. Let us pray Christ will remove evil from, GOVERNMENT,SCHOOLS, BUSINESS & HOMES. Motivation is how it starts you must be a Christian & the Spirit must live in you. Would you work with us Personally or support the ministry financially? We will teach you how to be a leader in your town.                                 Contact (tom@sosevents.org ) or check out our website at http://www.sosevents.org.

Good Report

January 7, 2016

A good report from Randy Thomas about the Plant City flea market yesterday.

Ten came to Christ today at the Plant City Flea Market. One lives in Nova Scotia and another in Pa. One just arrived from S. Vietnam two months ago. It is amazing how we get to share with people from around the globe. Praise His Name!
I Chron. 16:8
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name,make known his deeds among the people.

Salvation

November 23, 2015

Everyone who is saved has a different testimony. Some were saved as a small child through the influence  of parents, grandparents or a godly Sunday  School teacher or bus worker. They really do not know what it is like to be in the world as sinners and have the most time to serve the Lord.

Others lived a life of sin and came to know Jesus after they came to the end of their rope and felt hopeless and had no place to turn. Maybe a Christian handed them a Bible tract and witnessed to them, or they went into a mission for food and a warm bed, and still others met an SOS Events worker at an event. These people are so thankful to be out of a life of sin and many want to tell others of their wonderful Savior.

There is a group of people who lived a good life, went to church, tithed, were moral, and did not commit any terrible sin. This group is the hardest to reach for Christ because they think they are good enough to to get to Heaven, but they realized they needed to be saved.

Every category of Christian falls into one of these groups, all are sinners in need of a Savior. If you are saved you can be thankful for your salvation. This is the greatest blessing in your life no matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, young or old. Today join with us in thanking God for your salvation.

Ephesians 12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

God’s Great Love

November 21, 2015

Thanksgiving is less than a week away and it is a good time to think about how wonderful God has been in our lives. Everyday through Thanksgiving we will focus on one of  His special blessings.

The greatest thing we can give God thanks for is sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross that we can have eternal life. Thank you Father for your wonderful love.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

New Things

September 28, 2015

Two new things are on the SOS Events website that you may have missed. The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is in Spanish on the menu tab Espanol. That has been something that has been needed as the Spanish Division of the ministry has expanded greatly in the last year.

Another addition is “Tom’s Testimony” on the Testimony page. If you have not heard or read how SOS Events founder was saved it is worth a few minutes of your time to read his testimony. God has used this story all over the USA to reach people for Jesus Christ.

To God be the Glory for the new blessings that He pours out on SOS Events. 

Psalms 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
