Backpack Out Reach

July 24, 2019

On Saturday, one of the greatest events of the summer season that benefit students will be held in Riverview, Florida. The goal is to distribute over 1000 backpacks. This event is a benefit to students that will be attending school this 2019 through 2020 school year. Many families cannot afford all the school supplies and the local YMCA collect backpacks to give out to the children. The big blessing is the parents have to bring them, and it is an opportunity for a SOS Events to witness to whole families. Please pray that many families will come to know the Lord this Saturday.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Decisions To Follow Jesus

July 23, 2019

The final results for the SOS Events booth at the Genesee County Fair in New York was 47 salvation decisions. Families, teens, men and women from various walks of life have their lives changed when they come to an SOS Events booth at events. In this photo Frank is at the display board and Joanne is explaining the gospel to 4 teens. Please continue to pray for the new Christians that they will get into church and that they will do the Bible Studies they will receive from SOS Events Ministry.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Faithful Volunteers

July 17, 2019

SOS Events Ministry is Blessed to have many faithful volunteers. Shirley and Doug Black have traveled from The Finger Lake area of New York to Batavia to help with training last Sunday and then work at the Genesee County Fair all week. But, that is not all…. they winter in Florida and take part in many tradings and events there. What a blessing to have this dedicated couple as part of SOS Events Ministry.

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Testimony from Patty Mills, SOS Events Leader in Alabama

July 16, 2019

God gave me the privilege of leading a young lady to Christ and leading her sister and friend in a prayer of rededication using SOS Events (ABCs of salvation) while participating in #ServeDay19 with many other servants. These sweet souls are being followed up on and discipled by their pastor Lieutenant Brian Farrington of the Salvation Army Church, COTH’s ministers and SOS Home Office. They will also receive tons of prayer from all and free age appropriate Bible studies through the mail for as long as they want them. I thank God for SOS Events – Carolyn Curtis, Dale Brown, Dorothy Brown and other mentors in that ministry for seeing the need to train and equip and encourage the saints to be sensitive to the Spirit and then bold in intentionally sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with all.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Saturday, Joe And Frank volunteers for SOS Events worked at the Genesee County Fair all day and God blessed their faithfulness with 12 people accepting Jesus as their Savior. Praise the Lord for these new Christians. Join with us in prayer for them to grow in their walk with the Lord.

Genesee County Fair in NY

July 12, 2019

The Genesee County Fair starts tomorrow. Please pray for the SOS Events Workers and the public that will be going by the booth that they will stop, look and listen to the “3 Things God Can Not Do” presentation and be saved. This event is an 8 day fair and there are several new workers. Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you updated.

1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: ….

Results After 15 Years

July 11, 2019

In the early days of SOS Events Ministry, Tom and Carolyn went to several Church Conferences to promote the ministry. They traveled to Illinois and set up a table with information about SOS Events. Pastors would come to the table and ask to be put on the mailing list.

Yesterday, one of those Pastors, Dale Williams, from Naperville, IL called and wanted a display board and materials to use in an event on August 2&3 this year. He has people in his congregation excited to start witnessing at events. They will take their training online.

One of the goals And prayers of SOS Events is to have teams in every state and God is supplying in wonderful ways. This was a contact made about 15 or 16 years ago. We never know when that contact or witness will bring forth results. The encouragement to you is this, if we keep sowing we will reap if we faint not.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Celebrating 4th of July

July 5, 2019

The best way to celebrate the 4th of July is to witness at an event and to see people find true personal freedom from sin by accepting Jesus as their Savior. Some of The Florida team did exactly that this year. It is wonderful that children and adults come to events, not expecting to have their lives changed and then they come to the SOS Events booth and find salvation. A true reason to celebrate not only on Independence Day but any day of the year.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Couple Accepts Jesus

June 29, 2019

At a recent churchyard event this couple ask Jesus to be their Savior. SOS team leaders Dena and Glen (in blue shirts) had the privilege to lead them to the Lord.

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

Children Saved

June 28, 2019

Five children and one teenager made decisions to follow Jesus at the Freedom Festival in Florida. Several of the children had been at Vacation Bible School all week and they came into the booth to hear the gospel again and make sure of their salvation. We always rejoice when an adult or senior citizen accepts Christ, but a child has many more years to serve the Lord and Jesus welcomes them into the family of God.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
