New Opportunities

March 28, 2015

SOS Events has several new opportunities to expand the ministry in the USA. Gary, a man who looked at SOS website called and promised to visit 5 churches in his community in Kentucky with information about SOS Events ministry. He has a burden for the people of the area. Many churches have dwindled down to very small congregations that have no outreach in that area. With SOS Events the people come to you at community events. Pray for Gary as he contacts Pastors.

In the Saint Petersburg-Clearwater Florida area there is a large flea market that could be another opportunity to win many souls to Christ. Three churches have been contacted to get involved once a month at the Wagon Wheel Flea market. It only takes 3 people from each church to work three or four hours once a month. If you know of anyone in that area who may be interested please have them contact SOS Events.

Two more areas are in Ohio and Virginia. Two of our missionary couples will be traveling in the near future to present “3 Things God Cannot Do” to local churches in those areas. Pray CHRISTIANS in those churches will catch the vision fo the lost and participate with SOS in local events.

The harvest is truly ready but the laborers are few as the Bible says.

Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Make a Difference to Someone

March 25, 2015

“You can’t win everybody to the Lord, but you can always win somebody.” John R. Rice

John R. Rice was one of the greatest preachers on soul winning in times past. He was a man of few words unless he was in the pulpit but when he spoke people listened.

This quote reminds me of a story I once read about a little boy on the beach. 

He was throwing starfish that had washed up on shore back in the water. There were hundreds of them. 

An old man came along and asked the boy why he was throwing them back in the water. “You can’t save them all. You can’t even tell the difference. There are still hundreds of them.”

As the little boy picked up another starfish, threw it in the water, he said, “It makes a difference to this one.”

We can make a difference, one soul at a time. Let’s go soulwinning. Don’t know how? SOS Events can help you.


And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jude 1:22

Marie, the Shy Soul Winner

March 14, 2015

Marie is a mature lady, probably in her early 60’s. She has been a Christian for many years and has served the Lord faithfully. Church secretary, Sunday School teacher (for very young children), and a blessing to her friends and family, but had never won a person to the Lord.
The one thing that kept her from being a witness for Christ is that she Is painfully shy.
Staff from SOS Events came to her church to teach soul winning and to witness at a county fair.
The Pastor asked for volunteers to go to the training and sign up for a shift at the fair.
Marie wanted to do as the Pastor asked but she could never talk to strangers, she thought.
She did follow though, however, and her turn came to work in the booth at the fair.
The SOS trainer sat beside her and 2 young girls were brought to the table.
Marie would say, “what do I say now?” And the trainer would guide her through each step to led those girls to JESUS.
Both girls prayed and invited JESUS to be their Savior.
Marie was so excited. She needed a little more instruction but before her shift was over she had led several more people to Christ.
On the following Sunday, the Pastor asked for testimonies from the people who had worked at the fair. He said, “I will not ask Marie because I know she is to shy to come up and speak before the congregation.”
Marie spoke up, came up and gave a glowing testimony of how she was changed from being to shy to witness into a bold soul winner for Christ.
Soul winning not only changes the new converts life, it changes the person who is witnessing life.
Many Christians like Marie are to shy or afraid to witness for Christ. If you are one of them, SOS Events ministry can help through training, prayer and the Holy Sprit’s power. You too can become a bold witness for Christ.

Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Changed Lives

March 3, 2015

Every year at Strawberry Festival SOS Events has new soul winners. This event lasts 11 days, twelve hours every day. There are four people in the booth on each shift for a total of 132 plus staff that oversees that everything runs smoothly.
Some of the volunteers have never witnessed at a public event and they feel uncertain and even a little fearful. Then they start to see God move on the hearts of people and many come into the booth to be saved.
Those volunteers who were unsure that they wanted to work in the booth get so excited that they now call and ask to work again.
Soul winning not only changes the new convert’s life, it changes the person’s life who is the witness.
There have been many Christians who have never led a soul to Christ, that now are dynamic, bold witnesses for the Lord and several have become leaders, trainers and missionaries with SOS Events.

Ephesians 6:19
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

This is a photo of the SOS Events booth at Big Top Flea Market. There are empty chairs in this photo. Today they need to be filled with people who need the Lord. Pray with us that many will come to Jesus today and tomorrow at this weekly event.

Luke 14:23
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.

Too Busy

February 3, 2015

“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.”
R. A. Torrey 1856-1928

This quote was accurate 100 years ago, how much truer it is today. Are you too busy to pray? Lack power in your life? What about your church?
It is the command to every Christian and every church to win people to Christ but it cannot be done without the Holy Spirit power, which comes from prayer.

Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

John R. Rice Quote

January 21, 2015

Quote by John R. Rice. 1896-1980
“To leave this matter of saving souls to preachers is not only heartless; it is inexcusably wicked.”
John R. Rice was a great man of God, pastor, evangelist, author, song writer and soul winner. Founder of ” Sword of the Lord” newspaper.
He was a man of few words in personal conversation but a powerhouse in the pulpit. One of his favorite Bible verse was Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.
