Birthday Celebration!

March 19, 2022

On Thursday the office staff of SOS Events had the privilege of celebrating Val’s birthday. There was good food, fellowship and gifts for her.

The greatest thing is that she has 2 birthdays. Here physical birth and her spiritual birth. The first was when she came into the world as a baby, the second when she accepted Jesus as her Savior and was born again.

Do you have 2 birthdays?

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

Respondió Jesús y le dijo: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere de nuevo, no puede ver el reino de Dios. Juan 3:3

Do You Have 2 Birthdays?

June 1, 2021

Today is the birthday of Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry. But this is not the most important birthday in her life.

Her second birthday is much more significant. That is the day she asked Jesus to forgive her sin, and accepted Him as her Savior.

She realized that Jesus died on the cross was buried, and was resurrected. He paid the penalty for her sins.

Since that day over 60 years ago, Jesus has been with her, guided her paths and has brought true joy into her life through the good times and the hard times.

The best gift she ever received was being born again.

You can have this wonderful gift also. Salvation is given freely to all who believe and invite Jesus to be their Savior. You must have 2 birthdays to have a life of peace and joy and assurance of Heaven.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John3:3

Do You Have 2 Birthdays?

August 24, 2020

August is a month with many birthdays. We celebrate with our family and friends on their birthday. That is a good thing to do.

But, there is a more important birthday that everyone needs if they want to go to Heaven.

The Bible tells us we must be born again. So my question is…Do you have 2 birth days? The day that you were physically born and the day that you asked Jesus to be your Savior.

John 3:3 – Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Interesting Conversation

November 14, 2019

Carolyn Curtis, SOS Events cofounder, was asked a question by a funeral director. The conversation went like this:

Directory: “People have told me when at the funeral home that they will never die. What did they mean? I do not understand that. That is better than a lottery ticket.”

Carolyn: “They are probably born again Christians. What they mean is their bodies die but their spirit does not. We all never die spiritually, we will live forever but where we spend eternity depends on what we do with the Lord Jesus now.”

Carolyn then gave him a gospel tract and will be praying for his salvation.

Matthew 25:46 – And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Birthday Wishes

June 1, 2019

Today is SOS Events cofounder, Carolyn Curtis, 81st birthday. You can help her celebrate not with gifts but take a moment to pray for her. Wisdom, good health and strength are her personal needs, but her desire is to see SOS Events Ministry grow with more soul winners, more salvations and in territory. Also, that God will provide someone with a heart for souls and SOS Events Ministry when it is time for her to retire or go “home” to meet the Lord. She is thankful for her 2nd birthday. The day she accepted Jesus as her Savior over 60 years ago.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Planting Seeds

March 21, 2019

When asked what happened at an event, sometimes a SOS Events volunteer will say, “We planted seed today.” What do they mean? No one received Jesus as their Savior that day.

Disappointed? Yes, but we have to remember that seeds that are planted grow. We do not know what that tract or our testimony will do in the heart of an unbeliever. The Word of God is the seed and it will not return void. Some plant, some water but God gives the increase, in His timing. So do not be discouraged, if the person does not accept the Lord right then, keep planting seeds and let them grow.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Do You Have 2 Birthdays?

June 1, 2018

Everyone needs 2 birthdays if they want to go to Heaven when they die. Jesus said, “Ye must be born again.” Your first birthday is the day you were born. The second birth is the day you invite Jesus to be your Savior. When you ask Him to save you and accept His death, burial and resurrection as payment for your sins, you are born into the family of God. If you do not have that second birth, do not delay. Invite Jesus to be your Savior today!

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

People Watching

December 5, 2017

Do you like to watch people. Some are tall, others short, some thin others heavy. We see the mothers with small children to the elderly which have a hard time getting around. People of all colors, from the very fair skin to the darkest golden brown. Some dress in expensive clothing while others are tattered, and some wear hardly any clothes at all. What a variety of people on the earth and God gave life to them all. However, that He gave them life at birth does not mean they will live with Him in Heaven for all eternity. To get to Heaven no matter what their status on earth they (and you) must be born again.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Invitation

September 23, 2017

Jesus only goes where He is invited and, He only stays where He is welcome.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Newborn Babies

September 22, 2017

Most of the time it’s exciting to hear of the birth of a new baby. We shower them with love and kisses and take care of them, feed them and welcome them into our family. But there are babies born who are unwanted and unloved and not cared for properly. Children are a responsibility. New Christian converts are babes in Christ and should be loved and cared for, not left to themselves to grow in the Lord. They are our responsibility. This is why it is so important to follow up on people who have been saved. If you know a new Christian, take that responsibility seriously and invite them to church, Bible studies and teach them to follow the Lord. SOS Events Ministry tries to follow up with every new Christian that makes a decision by sending a Bible study to each one, and then the local church can visit and see them grow.

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