Small Beginnings, Eternal Results

July 14, 2026

This past Saturday, the Western New York SOS Events Ministry team, led by Scott, had the privilege of sharing the Gospel at an event held at a local church in Ransomville, New York.

One special blessing was seeing Scott’s 16-year-old daughter faithfully volunteering alongside the team. It is always encouraging to watch young people step forward to serve the Lord. They are not only helping today—they are learning to become tomorrow’s faithful servants.

God blessed the outreach with one woman trusted Jesus as her Savior and a young man listened and will make that decision later.

While some may look at the number and think it is small, Heaven rejoices over every soul that comes to Christ. Those two decisions represent two lives changed for eternity.

We are so thankful for Scott, his family, and every volunteer who faithfully gives of their time to Serve Our Savior. Every conversation, every smile, every Gospel tract, and every prayer is used by God in ways we may never fully know this side of Heaven.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
— Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

Wednesday Flea Market

June 11, 2026

What a blessing we experienced this Wednesday at the Plant City Farm & Flea Market in Plant City, Florida! As hundreds of people walked through the market looking for bargains and produce, God was at work doing something far more important—changing lives for eternity.

Our faithful SOS Events volunteers had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with many people throughout the day. We rejoice that 9 people trusted Jesus as their Savior.

What a reminder that every event, every conversation, and every Gospel tract can make an eternal difference.

The Plant City flea market has long been a gathering place for people from all walks of life, especially on Wednesdays when the market is bustling with vendors and visitors.   Yet the greatest treasure found there this week was not something purchased—it was the gift of eternal life received through faith in Christ.

Please continue to pray for these new believers as they begin their spiritual journey. Pray also for our volunteers who faithfully return week after week to share the Good News. The harvest is still plentiful, and we are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to reach others.

Nine salvations mean that heaven rejoiced nine times on Wednesday! To God be the glory.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Luke 15:7

I Have 2 Birthdays!

June 1, 2026

Today is my birthday, and I am thankful for every year that God has given me. Birthdays are special because they remind us of the gift of life. But as I reflect on this day, I am reminded of a birthday that is even more important than the day I was physically born.

In 1960, I experienced my “second birthday” when I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior and was born again. That decision changed not only my life on earth but also my eternity. Physical birth gave me life in this world, but spiritual birth gave me eternal life through Jesus Christ.

When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, He made it clear that being born again is not optional. He said:

“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 KJV)

Over the years, God has blessed me with family, friends, opportunities to serve, and the privilege of sharing the Gospel through SOS Events. There have been joys and sorrows, victories and challenges, but through it all, the Lord has remained faithful.

As Carolyn Curtis celebrates another birthday today, my greatest reason for rejoicing is not my age or the number of years behind me. It is the wonderful truth that in 1960 I became a child of God. That was the day my eternal life began.

If you know the date of your second birthday, thank God for it today. If you have never been born again, there is no better time than now to trust Christ as your Savior.

The best birthday anyone can celebrate is the day they were born into God’s family.

Bay Life Car Show

May 22, 2026

Last Saturday SOS Events Team went to the 21st Annual Car Show at Bay Life Church in Brandon, Florida.

God blessed the volunteers with 4 decisions. People who came to see classic cars went home with the assurance that they now will go to Heaven because they put their faith in Jesus Christ.

The message they heard was that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and 3 days later He arose!

They realized that they were sinners, asked for forgiveness, and believed that Jesus paid the penalty for all their sin.

Please pray for these people. Following Jesus is not always easy, but There is no greater joy than a life surrendered to Him.

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

Ohio First Car Show In 2026

May 16, 2026

The SOS Team in Ohio has started the season in a wonderful way! At their very first car show of the year, 13 people trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior. What a blessing to see God moving in such a powerful way.

Car shows may bring people together because of their love for classic cars and fellowship, but we know the greatest reason we are there is to share the Gospel. Every conversation matters. Every smile matters. Every tract matters. And this first event reminds us again that God is still changing lives.

We are thankful for the faithful Ed and Rhonda who gave their time, energy, and love to minister to others. Seeds were planted, hearts were touched, and 13 precious souls made decisions that will last for eternity.

As this new season of ministry begins, please continue to pray for the SOS teams across the country—that many more people will come to know Christ.

“But he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.” — John 4:36 KJV

Bluff Springs, Alabama

May 1, 2026

We are thankful to share a blessing from our Alabama SOS Team! Carl Norton recently set up SOS Events at Bluff Springs Baptist Church in Ashford, Alabama—the very church he grew up attending. What a joy to see God open the door for ministry in such a personal and meaningful place.

During the event, there was one salvation and one other spiritual decision.

One young girl trusted Christ as her Savior, and Carl was able to speak with her and go through the plan of salvation. Because she is only seven years old, he wisely encouraged her mother—who is already a believer—to continue talking with her and helping her grow in her understanding of what it means to follow Christ.

Another young lady also made a decision for Christ. When Carl asked her mother if they had a church home, she shared that they had just recently started attending Bluff Springs Baptist Church. Carl then made sure to speak with the pastor, who said he would follow up with the family and talk with her about taking the next step in baptism.

We rejoice over these precious decisions and thank the Lord for the faithful follow-up of both family and church. Please continue to pray for these two young lives—that they will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” — Luke 15:10 KJV

Salvation Is Just The Beginning!

April 25, 2026

“While we are saved in an instant, it takes a lifetime to develop and work out what God is doing inside of us.”

Salvation is one of the greatest miracles we will ever experience. In a single moment, when we trust Christ, everything changes—our sins are forgiven, our eternity is secured, and we become children of God.

But that moment is just the beginning.

From that day forward, God begins a work inside of us. Sometimes it is gentle, like a seed quietly growing beneath the soil. Other times it is shaping and stretching, like a potter forming clay. There are seasons of joy and seasons of challenge, but all of it is part of His perfect plan.

We may not always understand what He is doing, but we can trust that He is working—patiently, faithfully, and lovingly—day by day.

So don’t be discouraged if you’re still growing. That’s exactly where God wants you to be.

Two Egg Hunts On The Same Day In Florida!

April 10, 2026

This past Saturday, just before Easter, SOS Events had the privilege of being part of two special egg hunts in Florida—and God truly blessed both opportunities.

At the stadium in Plant City, families gathered for a fun-filled day of activities, laughter, and excitement. In the midst of the festivities, the Gospel was shared, and we rejoice that 5 individuals trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior. What a reminder that even simple community events can become life-changing moments when the message of hope is presented.

At a local Missionary Baptist Church, another egg hunt brought people together in a more intimate setting. There, hearts were touched as well, and we praise the Lord that 2 people made decisions for Christ. Every soul matters, and heaven rejoices over each one.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Psalm 145:18

Egg Hunt in Pennsylvania

April 9, 2026

This past weekend at an Easter egg hunt at Valley Forge Baptist Church in Pennsylvania, something far more important than eggs being found took place—hearts were reached with the Gospel.

During this event, 3 individuals made the life-changing decision to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. What a blessing to see both young and older alike responding to the truth of God’s Word. From a teenager to an adult and a child, it was a beautiful reminder that the Gospel is for every age and every stage of life.

We thank the Lord for those who faithfully shared the message and for the opportunity to be a light in the community. Truly, this is what SOS Events is all about—taking the Gospel wherever people are gathered.

Let’s continue to pray for these new believers, that they will grow in their faith and follow the Lord all the days of their lives.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”Romans 10:17 (KJV)
