The Best Gift!

December 3, 2025

What a wonderful verse to start with for the month of December! God does supply all our needs.

Some people have abundance of money and material things. Others have very little. The Christmas season is a time for giving. It is not the cost of the gifts, it is the gift given from the heart that counts.

A phone call, letter or an invitation for a meal can mean more than the most expensive present in the world. Your time with your friends and family is the most meaningful gift you can give.

God wants the same thing. You can give a large offering, go to church or do some charity work, but the most important thing you can give to God is time to read His word, pray and then tell someone else about His special gift, the Lord Jesus

A Worthy Cause

June 2, 2024

This is a photo of Carolyn Curtis Grandson’s Family. John Slater is a missionary to Ireland. He is doing a wonderful job as he pastors Mallow Bible Fellowship.

When I was there a week ago the church was full.

John has a wonderful wife and five young children.

They have one great need which he would never ask for himself.

Their van that he uses not only to transport his family but also helps the people of his congregation get from place to place including church as most people do not have a vehicle or even know how to drive.

I just received news that his van cannot be repaired.

Anyone who would like to help this worthy cause can donate at the following address. All funds are tax deductible.

Any donation can go through their mission board. GAP Missions https://www.gapmissions.org/donate-to-gap-missions, select his name (John Slater) from the drop down menu and then “Van fund” in the comment. Or if prefer to give through a check:

Giving

April 10, 2015

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.
