Today a new baby was born into our family. The whole family is rejoicing for the precious little girl God has blessed us with. Children are a heritage of the Lord the Bible says.
God also gives new life to any sinner who repents, admits their sin, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and calls upon Him to save them. And Heaven rejoices.
John 3:3 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.
Yesterday God gave a wonderful harvest at Plant City Farmers and Flea Market. Twenty-five souls in just a few hours. SOS Events is blessed to have dedicated volunteers who are willing to witness every Wednesday morning.
Pray with us for more volunteers to work in the market places. There are so many opportunities to witness in the USA while we still have the freedom to do so. There may come a day when that freedom may be taken away.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:the night cometh, when no man can work.
Newly weds saved at Strawberry Festival. This couple were so happy to know for sure they are going to Heaven. To start out married life with their new life in Christ is the best wedding gift they have gotten.
The gift of eternal life lasts for all eternity.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The biggest attraction at the Strawberry Festival for some people is strawberry shortcake. This couple got something much better! Salvation.
JESUS said to come to Him and we shall never hunger or thirst.
John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

SOS Hispanic ministry is growing, an answer to prayer.
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
2014 is almost over. Today is New Years Eve. Many people will be out partying. There will be accidents, fights and confusion for some who think they are having a good time, only to wake up in the morning with a headache and regrets.
There are some people who are good moral folks, who truly want to turn over a new leaf, as the expression goes, but will find that they will fall back into their same old life in just a few days or weeks.
Then there is the Christian, who knows that a new life can only begin with asking JESUS to forgive their sin, come into their heart and make their life new. CHRISTIANS look forward to 2015 with a different outlook. They know that whatever happens in the New Year, they have a friend, companion and Holy Spirit in them that helps them walk in newness of life.
If you are in the first or second group but would like a true new beginning, ask Jesus to save you today.
Our prayer for all is that you will have a safe and Happy New Years Eve and that 2015 will be blessed.
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.
The gifts have been opened, the feasting is done, some people are rejoicing, some are not pleased. Christmas 2014 is over.
For those of us who know the true meaning of Christmas the joy is still there, but for those who have never accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus there is a letdown today.
It is never too late to invite JESUS to forgive you for your sins, come into your heart and life and begin a new life with Him.
Today, the real joy of Christmas can be yours.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Diego, a delivery man came to the home of SOS founder, Tom Curtis, to deliver a walker for Tom so he can be more steady as he walks.
Diego was down on his knees putting the equipment together and Tom asked him, “What if you fell over right here and died, do you know where you would go?”
Diego paused, and seemed deep in thought. “I have no idea,” he said.
“Would you like to know how you can be 100% sure you are on your way to heaven?”, Tom asked.
Diego said he really wanted to know.
Tom then explained how JESUS died, was buried and rose again on the third day.
Diego believed and prayed to be saved. He was so happy to know for sure and was delighted to know he will be getting Bible studies in the mail.
It has been a mystery why Tom has not recovered more quickly from his illness, but God has a bigger plan. One soul is worth whatever it takes, and Diego would not have been in Tom’s life had he not needed that walker.
The Bible tells us to be thankful in all things.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks:for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Many of you may know the song “Thank You Lord For Saving My Soul” as a chorus sung usually by children in Sunday School, but the song has great verses also. Think about what you are thankful for as you read the verses:
Some thank the Lord for friends and home
Some thank the Lord for friends and home
For mercies sure and sweet
But I would praise Him for his grace
In prayer I would repeat
Refrain:
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free
Some thank Him for the flow’rs that grow
Some for the stars that shine
My heart is filled with joy and praise
Because I know He’s mine
I trust in Him from day to day
I prove His saving grace
I’ll sing this song of praise to Him
Until I see His face
By Seth and Bessie Sykes
2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Diana is on staff at the home office of SOS. She is our office manager, secretary of our Board of Directors, trainer and most of all an avid soul winner.
Every year on Halloween she sets up a booth in her yard for the many Trick or Treaters that come to her house for candy. She gives them more than candy they seek. She gives them the Gospel. Last night 5 young people made decisions for salvation and several more children and parents received a Bible tracts.
Diana uses every opportunity given to present the plan of salvation to the lost.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
