Prayer Appreciated 

October 19, 2015

Two of SOS Events personnel are having surgery today. Tom Curtis, founder and President of the ministry, for bypass in his legs to get better circulation to his feet and David Dow, display maker and maintenance man, for cataracts.

Both would appreciate your prayers. Pray specifically for wisdom for the surgeons, successful operations and quick recovery for both men.

Modern technology is wonderful but we know who the Great Healer is, Jesus. 

We will have an update tomorrow and thank you for your prayers.

Matthew 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:

Thomas Jefferson was concerned about our country over 200 years ago. What would he think now? If you have not joined us in prayer for America at 9 PM every evening please start today.

Many of you who read our blog everyday live in other countries and it is not only the USA that needs prayer but every country in the world. You could start a prayer group for your country. Don’t wait. 

1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting

  

Prayers Answered 

September 30, 2015

On 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.

Prayer

John R. Rice was tremendous preacher many years ago. He wrote songs, books, and tracts. One of his books is “Prayer, Asking and Receiving.” The following quote is one way to help you know how to pray and get your prayers answered.

If you surrender yourself, and do not rush, but meditate on the Word of God, you will find prayer forming in your heart. It is a prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit, a prayer that God will be pleased to hear.              John R. Rice

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Blessings and Needs

September 18, 2015

SOS Events most busy time of year has begun. Most weekends from now to Thanksgiving has several events, many on the same day. Tomorrow, Saturday there are 3 events, a car show in Plant City, Fl, a country fair in Landsdale, PA and a training by the team in Alabama. Then on Sunday the team from Lakeland, Fl holds a training in a local church.

Please pray with SOS for many souls to be saved and new workers to be trained. Also, the home office staff in Dover, Fl appreciates prayer. As the ministry grows the administration duties become greater. Also, needs of the ministry grows as there is a bigger need for financial donations to enable SOS to supply all the materials to hold successful events. Cost of tracts, Bibles, displays and printed materials increase with the growth. God does supply those needs through faithful Christians who give with a joyful heart. If you would like to help with the finances of this soul winning ministry  click the donate line on the right.

Can America Survive?

Can America Survive? 

Lack of Leadership

Reducing our military 

No defense of our borders 

Unbalanced budget 

Socialist society 

Christianity out of the nation 

Rejection of Israel 

This partial list shows where we are today. There is only one way to reverse the downward trend in our nation. The Bible has the answer. Will you join with us in prayer at 9 PM every evening and ask God to bring back the blessings to America?

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

Jesus Loves Me

September 1, 2015

Last evening Tom Curtis received a phone call from a Christian friend who is facing some very serious life threatening health problems. This friend became very fearful and almost was in the state of panic. Our friend lives 800 miles away in a different state.

Tom talked to him, prayed with him, and read some scripture to him. Finally,Tom and Carolyn started to sing “Jesus loves me this I know.”

That little children’s song calmed the heart of our Christian friend. He was able to drive to a friends home so he would not be alone. Tom stayed on the phone with him until we were sure he had gotten to a safe place.

Jesus loves me! This I know,

For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong;

They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain:

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! This I know,

As He loved so long ago,

Taking children on His knee,

Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

Jesus loves me still today,

Walking with me on my way,

Wanting as a friend to give

Light and love to all who live.

Jesus loves me! He who died

Heaven’s gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

Jesus loves me! He will stay

Close beside me all the way;

Thou hast bled and died for me,

I will henceforth live for Thee.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Gifts Fom Our Father

August 29, 2015

Praying is work. Have you ever been praying and your mind will wander to a different subject? Or not been able to get to sleep and decided to pray and in just a little while you have fallen asleep?

Prayer is the one weapon the that Satan does not want you to use. Prayer will give you answers to problems or decisions that you are unsure about. God delights in hearing from His children.

The most wonderful thing is that He is interested in the smallest things in our lives and He loves to have us ask for them. Need a parking place or want to have someone call you that you haven’t heard from in awhile? Then there it is.. the parking place right in front of the building. The phone rings and the person who you wanted to talk to is calling. Coincidence some people say. No, answer to prayer from a loving Father who loves His children, and likes to give good things to them.

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?

Prayer for the Little Things

August 22, 2015

God answers prayer. He is interested in everything we do. 

A visitor to SOS Events told us of a man who believed you should not bother God on Sunday because it is His day of rest. It is true the Bible says that God rested on the seventh day when he created the earth. But God never told us not to come to him in prayer. That is one of the great privileges we have as his children. He is always ready to listen and answer our prayers if we have been born into His family.

Many people only go to God when they have trials or something big happens and they need him. However, he cares about the little things in our lives. He wants us to go to Him with all our needs. It may be a small thing like we need a parking place when we go to the grocery store.

If you are a Christian, God wants us to go to him as our Father, and He delights in giving us what we ask. If you have never been born again, go to the “home” page on this website and follow the ABC’s of salvation. The first prayer God wants to hear is when you ask Jesus for forgiveness and accept Him as our Savior.

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?

Prayer Request

Today a new trainer will be trained in Pensylvania and later this evening her first training will take place. 

This is a opportunity for this church getting ready to do a fair near Philadelphia in September. 

God once again opens new doors for SOS Events to train people to win souls. 

Acts 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
