Joseph must have been frantically looking for a place to stay for the night. Mary was probably already in labor. She was young, it was her first child and she was going through the same pain in childbirth that every mother has when giving birth. Bethlehem was full of travelers. It was a small village with a very limited number of inns. Maybe only one, and the was no room. The innkeeper took pity on Joseph and Mary and allowed them room in his stable.
Most people look at the innkeeper as unfeeling but if you think about it he really did an act of kindness, plus scripture was being fulfilled.
If the innkeeper had known who was to be born in his stable, maybe he would have given up his own room for JESUS.
JESUS wants the best from us. Our gift to Him this Christmas should be giving Him every room in our heart.
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

We had a great turnout (15) for SOS Event Training at Faith Baptist Church in Lake Placid, FL on Sunday. Co-founder Carolyn Curtis and Stephanie Curtis were the Event Leaders. I’m looking forward to see how God is going to use the Faith Baptist Church SOS Team to build the Kingdom.
1 Corinthians 2:9 – But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Yesterday, many of SOS Events Senior Servants came to the Curtis home to work getting out the monthly, “Life Saver News”.
These ladies dedication is appreciated. Senior Servants started over 10 years ago. The 3 ladies who were our first Senior Servants have gone home to be with the Lord, however, many more ladies have volunteered over the years. If everyone comes there are 24 faithful ladies who help get out the newsletter each month.
Their rewards will be in Heaven someday, but the joy of a job well done, food and fellowship gives them happiness when they get together now.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
God blessed the Back to School Event at Fellowship Baptist Church in Thononosassa, Florida on Sunday with 30 decisions. 28 salvations and 2 children who needed assurance.
It was a family team with SOS Events. Carolyn Curtis with daughters Stephanie and Graceanne (taking the photo) were the volunteers. It is wonderful to see a family serving the Lord together. The Lord blessed and all the Praise is given to Him.
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. Psalm 9:1
It is a privilege to Serve Our Savior with SOS Events Ministry. Thankful for every missionary, trainer and volunteer who has been a witness for the Lord Jesus in the last 20 years. Thank the Lord for all the souls who have come for salvation and assurance in those years. Thank you all for your service for Him.

SOS Events is at many different kinds of events. Vacation Bible School at a church is a wonderful place to witness to both children and adults. Parents come to see what the children have learned or on a special time especially for them.
People listen one on one and respond to a personal presentation of the gospel. At a “churchyard” event all the names of people who make decisions are given to the church to follow up.
Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
What a blessing. Once a month, on the first Thursday, volunteers come to SOS Events to help get out the “Life Saver News”.
Only a very few have come since February 2020, because of the coronavirus, but yesterday many finally returned. It was such a blessing to have these faithful workers with us again. Plus 2 new volunteers came also.
Thank you ladies for your work and fellowship.
1 Corinthians 15:58 – Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
SOS Events had a booth at a local Flower Show yesterday. Thank you Ursula and Alice for volunteering to work in the SOS Events booth.
It was an event where no one came to know Jesus as their Savior but, it was good to get the gospel to people and give them opportunity to be saved.
Some events are more difficult to reach people than others. A Flower Show draws mostly older population and SOS Events does much better at family events.
We are thankful to have the opportunity at every event that will allow us to set up a booth.
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23
