May 3, 2016Salvations and Baptisms
May 2, 2016
43 decisions for Christ at the Talladega Racetrack this weekend. Praise the Lord. People need the Lord where ever a crowd gathers and God blesses SOS Events with souls when our faithful team members set up a booth. At this event there was an inflated pool and some new believers were baptized immediately after salvation. Praise the Lord.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
At the Carnival
April 28, 2016Praise the Lord for 78 decisions for Christ in Troy, Alabama last weekend at an event called Spring Carnaval for a Cause. It was a first time event for SOS Events Ministry. What a blessing for the Alabama team.

To God Be The Glory
January 22, 2016Verse 1
To God be the glory, great things He hath done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
Verse 2
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
(Refrain)
Verse 3
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
This is one of the hymns written by Fanny Crosby about 1875 and was popular in England. Ira Sankey introduced it to America in the D. L. Moody revivals but it became popular when Cliff Barrows used it in Billy Graham’s London crusade and then in the crusade in Nashville, TN.
Many of the older great hymns are no longer being sung in our churches as newer music is being introduced more frequently due to modern media. New is good but let us not forget the old hymns that have stood the test of time and honored God in ways that some of the newer songs lack.
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Praise the Lord
January 5, 2016Today is a special day for Tom and Carolyn Curtis. It is our 15th Wedding Anniversary. You may not think that is so great but it is really a miracle. Both of us were traveling alone after the loss of our spouses, working for the Lord in different ministries when we met. Tom went to Iowa and I traveled the East coast for a year after we met. Then we worked in a ministry together in Florida for a short time. I had been praying for Tom and about the relationship for the whole year. (Tom had no clue.)
When we married Tom had many health problems and had been told by doctors that he had only 3 years to live. That was back in 1995. He was reluctant to marry in 2001 but God directed him and we have been blessed with a wonderful marriage.
God then led us to begin SOS Events Ministry and in 15 years hundreds of Christians have been trained to serve the Lord, over 60,000 souls have made decisions for Christ and at least 2 other ministries have been started with the training of SOS.
God took two ordinary people and for 15 years has blessed us with a good marriage and a great ministry. So today we Praise the Lord for the blessings He has given and I still believe in miracles.
Psalms 9:1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
For the Beauty of the Earth
November 27, 2015These words that follow are a hymn written by Folliott Sandford Pierpoint (1835 – 1917) in the mid 1800’s. He looked around and saw the beauty God created and wanted to praise the Creator. We also should be thankful and give praise to our great God and Savior for everything He has given us, so beautifully written in this hymn.
1. For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
2. For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
3. For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind’s delight, for the mystic harmony, linking sense to sound and sight;
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
4. For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
5. For thy church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above, offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love;
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
6. For thyself, best Gift Divine, to the world so freely given, for that great, great love of thine, peace on earth, and joy in heaven:
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
Preach the Word
October 23, 2015Tom Curtis is always a witness for the Lord. Myra is a sweet young woman who is in housekeeping at the hospital. True to form Tom witnessed to her when he first got to the hospital. She trusted in Jesus and was excited to learn she would get a Bible study in the mail in a week or two.
The wait for his surgery was several hours and while sitting in the waiting room Myra saw me and came over to give me a hug. She was still talking about her salvation and wanted to be sure she sees Tom before he is released to go home.
Please continue to pray for him as recovery is not going as well as we would like.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
The Lord Is Good
October 20, 2015 
The Lord is Good all the time but we praise Him especially for answered prayer. Thank you all who prayed for Thomas Curtis. Surgery went well and now on to recovery, so he can get back to what he loves to do. Win souls to Christ.
Prayers Answered
September 30, 2015On Tuesdays the office staff of SOS Events has a short meeting to discuss the needs of the ministry and the personal prayer requests of the staff and others who may have called or emailed a prayer requests.
Yesterday, God answered two prayers within 3 hours of that meeting. Diana, our office manager, was concerned about her daughter Dana who has a busy schedule. Dana is in nursing school and has some tests scheduled for today and tomorrow. The concern was that the house Dana and her husband purchased did not close last week when it was scheduled and the closing kept getting changed. It seemed like it was going to interfere with Dana’s tests. Within two hours of the prayers in God’s perfect timing Dana called and the closing was before the day was out. Also, there were no classes yesterday. Perfect timing.
Tom, founder of SOS Events, has been praying for more opportunities to teach evangelism to students of all ages. The prayer request was brought before the Lord in our meeting and in the early afternoon a man, who Tom had only met briefly several years ago, came into the office and offered an opportunity to teach evangelism at a Bible Institute for the spring semester. There will be more about this awesome answer to prayer in the near future when the plans are finalized.
God answers prayer. He is there waiting for us to ask and delights in answering the prayers of His children.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
