It is so great to hear what the Lord does for a new Christian. At The SOS Events booth in Pennsylvania, recently, a mother and a boy about 12 years old were saved. The next day they were both in church. This is the mother’s testimony;
At the auction on Saturday there was a drum set that my son really wanted. He had saved $15 to buy this drum set. The bidding started, he proudly bid up to his $15 and a lady in the crowd quickly overbid him. His disappointment was evident on his face, he did not cry but everyone could tell how disappointed he was.
There was a man in the crowd that started bidding against the lady, and soon the price had risen to $100. The lady stopped bidding and the drum set was given to the man. He turned to the young boy and gave him the drum set.
The mother’s comment was that nothing like that has ever happened to her family. She was so excited that she and her son have been saved and immediately the Lord brought blessings into their lives. She told many people at church that Sunday about the blessings that came from the Lord.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Patty Mills wrote; One of my favorite salvation stories is when a guy brought his beer in one hand and his cigarette in the other hand into the booth to find out about the 3 things God cannot do. The Holy Spirit led him to accept Christ as His Lord and Savior for the very first time that day and after his prayer he said (matter-of-factly): “You know, I’ve been thinking about not drinking as much.” To which our soulwinner replied, “I like sweet tea. It’s pretty good.” HA! Love that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ and how God immediately works through the Holy Spirit to change our hearts once we give them to Him. Don’t have to change and get all dressed up to come to God. Come to God and He’ll do all the changing needed. (NOTE: This guy was NOT drunk. We do not give the gospel presentation to anyone who appears to be mentally/physically/emotionally unable to understand the gospel presentation. Just give them tracts and pray for them.) Love it!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Sometimes we are disappointed when only one person repents and gets saved at an event that SOS Events participates in. The effort to go, set up a canopy, get workers, pray, prepare, pay for and all the things that must be accomplished before the event even starts, then after that only one soul.
This is what happened on Friday night this week in Pennsylvania at an event. Then we remember that God is in control and the joy in Heaven over this one person is taking place. We do not know how God will use this person in the future. So today we also rejoice in this one soul that made a decision to follow Christ. All the work and effort put in by SOS Events volunteers is worth that one person and they will be rewarded for faithfulness because God looks at our heart.

Reports are coming in for the events held on The July 4th weekend. In Polk City, Fl. Randy and Romona Thomas set up a SOS Events booth at the Land of the Free event. Seven souls were saved, 1 adult, 2 teenagers and 3 twelve year olds and one girl age 11. A 15 year old girl wrote on the back of her decision card, “I learned about my spiritual birthday – I asked Jesus to forgive me for my sins and to come into my heart.”
In New Jersey, Lavana and the SOS Events group went to the Columbus Farmers Market and had 6 people make decisions for Christ, 3 from New Jersey 2 from Pennsylvania and one from Virginia.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Going through some papers of Founder of SOS Events, Tom Curtis, I found this statement:
“You are not pleasing God if you are not bringing people to Christ.”
The question is, Are you pleasing God? Every Christian should have a desire to witness and win souls.
Tom Curtis was a great example to all of us to be soul winners. The last day in the hospital and only 6 days before he went to Heaven he won 2 doctors and a nurse to the Lord and had a steady stream of hospital staff come to bid him goodbye and tell him that they had been saved through his testimony and witness.
Proverbs 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls:

This was a great week for SOS Events, sharing Christ in the Marketplace in Florida. Ten received Jesus at Webster Flea Market on Monday, Memorial Day, and five at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. God is faithful not willing that anyone should perish.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Today is SOS Events co-founder’s birthday. Birthdays are a time to celebrate, especially in the culture of the USA. However, it is not your physical birth that really matters when we think of eternity. It is your spiritual birth.
Jesus said, “Ye must be born again.” Do you have two birthdays? It as simple as A,B,C.
A. Admit that you have sinned. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
B. Believe on the Lord Jesus. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
C. Call upon the Lord. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you Jesus. Amen

A wonderful evangelist of the last century was John R. Rice. He was a great man of God, the founder of the Christian newspaper Sword of the Lord, song writer, author and soul winner. His wisdom which came from God and the Bible is reflected in the following quote.
“When you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor sinful state and your inability to save yourself.” —John R. Rice
Ephesians 2:8 & 9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
