There were 8 decisions at the 4th of July Event in Plant City, FL.
There were terrible thunder storms just as the fireworks were about to begin but God blessed with 8 souls including these 2 teen age young men. SOS Events is so pleased to have dedicated workers who give up their family time to witness for the Lord.
1Thessalonians 2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.
Yesterday the thermometer read 99 degrees in the sun in Florida. SOS Events missionaries Alice and Randy did not let the heat stop them from going to the Flea Market in Plant City however.
The first blessing was that Alice had a coupon for $10.00 off and the space only cost $2.00. Then she asked the parking attendant if she could have a spot for the canopy under a tree. He let her get out of the line to go under a beautiful shade tree. God blessed the workers with 21 people who asked JESUS to be their Saviour.
The thanks goes to God who gave the increase and thankfulness for the tree. God loves and blesses the faithful soul winners.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
The training in New Jersey went really well Sunday morning. Chris Domenech did a great job as always. The New Jersey team had the privilege of training three people at Faith Baptist Church. Brenda and Susan from Bordentown Calvary Chapel and Ella who was referred to by the SOS team.
SOS Events is blessed to have a great team in New Jersey. This group has been partnering with the ministry for many years and hundreds of people have been saved. If you would like to read how this NJ partnership started go to the testimony page on the website and read the story from Ted Martens. It all started with a peppermint candy.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Alice, Randy and William usually work the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday but recently both Randy Thomas and William were out of town. Pastor Romero from his Spanish church in Lakeland sent four of his people over to help at the SOS Events booth. Thank you all for your willingness to witness and the LORD blessed with 14 souls making decisions to follow Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Many people are happy to see Wednesday come each week because it is the middle of the workweek for people who work. At SOS Events we love to see Wednesday come because it is an opportunity to win souls at the Plant City Flea Market.
This week was exceptional as 25 decisions were recorded. Randy Thomas is pictured here with Maria one of the Spanish people who received JESUS as their Savior.
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:
Plant City flea Market is a great place to witness and win souls. In the summer when is is very hot in Florida the workers set up the display early, about 5:30 AM. As soon as it gets light people start to come to see what God Can Not Do at the booth. SOS Events is blessed to have a bilingual team tha works this flea market every week.
This week on Wednesday 14 people made decisions to follow JESUS. Praise the Lord! By 11 o’clock the temperature reaches in the 90’s and the team packs up until the next week. One of SOS bilingual (English and Spanish) is William, pictured here with a new convert.
It is so exciting when the mail comes in after the monthly newsletter has gone out. Usually there are many envelopes ready to be opened from SOS Events supporters.
This month there has been many blessings in the mail. First the regular supporters who are faithful to send an offering every month. Some of them have been supporting SOS Events since the ministry was founded in 2001. The faithfulness of these supporters is so appreciated. Without regular support the ministry would not have grown to what it is today and would not be able to continue.
Then there are people who love to give to projects. If there is a need, these people like to designate to the need. This month there were several mentioned. Funds for materials for building a paint shop, a new printer, traveling expenses for missionaries to go to the Talledega Races, individual support for new missionaries and several other requests.
As the mail keeps coming in many of the special requests have been met. One family sent an additional offering along with their monthly support through PayPal. A church donated a used printer that is better than any SOS Events could afford. Another person sent a check to help with traveling expenses. One special needs supporter gave SOS access to their account with a printing company to get banners printed for our missionaries. (A need that was not even mentioned in the newsletter). One of the local pastors donated some new lumber to help with the paint shop project. God uses people to meet the needs of the ministry and first Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. Then a big Thank You to every supporter who love to see souls come to Christ and gives. Every gift is a blessing and is used with the goal of seeing more people come to know JESUS.
If you would like to give click the donate button on the home page and all the information is there for you. God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
SOS Events ministry has many needs. One of the main ones this month is a new printer for the office as the one we have is many years old and has been a great machine but in need of replacing.
To make the need known it was listed in the “Life Saver News” SOS monthly newsletter. Before the letter was mailed one of SOS supporters called and said their family had been blessed with some extra money and did SOS have a need that they could give to.
They did donate most of the money for the new printer which is on the way.
God knew the need before it was published and provided before He was asked. Praise the Lord.
Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Sylvia and Yongei came to Florida from Iowa to work in the booth at Strawberry Festival this year. In this picture they are with a man they led to the Lord. This is the second time they have come to join with SOS at the Festival. They fly in, rent a car and stay at a hotel all at their own expense which is a great blessing.
When they were here they received a copy of the book “101 Salvation Stories”, read some of the stories and decided to take copies back to their Bible study group. They gave each person a copy and a week later asked one of the ladies, Sue, if she had read it. Sue said she had but realized she was not saved while reading the book. They immediately led Sue into a relationship with the Lord and are rejoicing in her salvation. Recently we have received 2 more reports of people being saved in Iowa. SOS Training and participation changes lives, both for the new converts and the soul winners.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Rejoice! 18 more people will be in Heaven because God blesses faithful witnesses. Plant City Flea Market is bustling this time of year on Wednesday mornings. SOS Events volunteers are there just as the sun is coming up. Yesterday, eighteen people walked by the SOS booth, stopped, heard the gospel and trusted JESUS as their Savior.
There is rejoicing. The new converts are joyful, the soul winner is thrilled and even the Angels in Heaven rejoice also. God gives the increase. One sure cure for discouragement is to win someone to Christ.
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Philippians 2:16
