A Parking Place!

August 11, 2022

This is the final true story of children’s answers to prayer, however, there are many more that could be shared as God delights in the simple faith of children.

When Tom’s daughter, Allison, was small she was excited to go to the fireworks on 4th of July. Not wanting to disappoint her Tom drove to the busy park where the fireworks were to be displayed. There was not a parking place to be had in that crowded area that evening. He circled round several times without success.

Alison told her Dad that Jesus would find them a parking place. Tom looked in the rear view mirror and watched as Allison prayed this prayer, “Dear Jesus, my Daddy needs a parking place. Would you please give him one.”

Just then a man knocked on the window and asked Tom if he had any children in the car. Tom answered, “Yes, my daughter.”

The man said, “Every year we save a parking place for someone with a child, pull under our carport.” God hears and answers prayer.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Necklace

August 10, 2022


Carolyn had lost her necklace that Tom had given her for a wedding gift. After searching everywhere she feared the necklace had been lost on a trip they took to Tennesee. She was upset about loosing this special gift and told her daughter of the loss.

 Beka, Carolyn’s granddaughter, who was only about 3 years old, heard about it she decided to pray that Grandma’s neck-a-lace would be found.

Carolyn was resting and looked in the full length mirror in the motor home where she lived, and saw a shiny reflection on the floor against the bed. The area had been vacuumed and nothing had been there there, but looking closer, there it was. The prized necklace. Immediately she called Beka to thank her for her prayers. The neck-a-lace had been found. Once again God answered a child’s  prayer.

Jeremiah 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you

A Balloon, A Necklace and A Parking Place

August 9, 2022

What do these 3 things have in common? They are all answers to a child’s prayer. For the next three days you will be able to find out how God answers prayer of a little child.

When Diana’s son, Anthony, was very young he went shopping with his Mom. It is typical for a child to want something at a store and he saw this beautiful balloon. He wanted it but money was short then and Diana told him they didn’t have money for the balloon.

“Why don’t you ask Jesus for the balloon?” his mother told him. So Anthony prayed and did ask Jesus for the balloon.

When the mail came there was a letter from Diana’s Mom with one dollar in it. Just enough for Anthony’s balloon. They went and brought the balloon. A little boy’s prayer was answered even before he asked because the letter was mailed days before.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Do Something!

July 30, 2022

Do something for the Lord. Pray, give, go. Maybe you can not doe all of these things, but you can do something.

Everyone can pray. Most of us can give. Some of us can go. SOS Events needs you! Do something!

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23

Where is Lesotho?

July 28, 2022

Many of us would never know where Lesotho is. Someone from that country decided to check out the SOS Events website yesterday.

The Kingdom of Lesotho is a small country in Africa, located in the Maloti Mountains, the highest mountains in Africa. Population of 2 million.

God tells us in His Word to go into all the world and preach the gospel. How can we do that when we do not even know where a country is located?

One of the ways God uses today is World Wide Web. Please pray that more people will look at SOS Events on the internet. Pray for salvation of these people who may not have a missionary in their area or anyone to tell them about Jesus and salvation.

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

Prayer for Joe!

July 26, 2022

Please pray for Joe! He is a leader in New York State who really needs many more team members for SOS Events.

This week he has a booth at the Orleans County Fair. Most of the time he will be working alone. He needs the Holy Spirit’s power, wisdom and strength.

Pray many people will have open minds and hearts to hear the gospel and be saved.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

What Is Your Problem?

July 9, 2022

There are things in life that we all struggle with! Maybe it’s fear. Fear of sickness, lack of finances, or something else.

Is your problem an addiction? Alcohol, drugs, smoking, over eating.

Even good things can become a problem. Too much television, games, anything that we do that takes the place of serving God and family.

Laziness, hatred, gossiping. All these things the Bible addresses. These are the things that we don’t talk about, but they are constantly on our mind. How do we overcome these problems in our lives?

Jesus is the answer. First, we must be sure we know Him as our Savior. Then we must trust Him to help us overcome whatever our problem is causing us to focus on the wrong thing.

Daily turn that problem over to Jesus through prayer. Find verses in the Bible that address your problem. Memorize those verses and when you are tempted to do what you are trying to overcome, repeat those verses and turn to something else to replace that desire.

You can have victory over your problems, but only if you give them to Jesus and trust Him to help you.

God Bless America!!

July 2, 2022

God Bless America!! Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July weekend!!

America has been blessed by the Lord since the founding of our great nation. However, our freedoms are being taken away as the focus has turned away from God. America as we have known it will have the blessing of God taken away if we do not get back to loving and honoring the one true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, stop for just a few minutes before the picnics, parties and fireworks and pray for our country that we may return to the only hope of peace and freedom by the true worship of the Lord.

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

There are many people from other countries who will read this. To you this verse from God’s Word is true for your nation as well as America.
