Volunteers for Christ

November 12, 2015

God uses people in our lives to bring blessings. This week a godly couple came over to help with things that needed doing on the property. John and Sondra worked for several hours cleaning out a flower garden that had been overgrown and looked unkempt. This couple is not young but in their early 80’s. They also work at events witnessing for the Lord.

We are also thankful to David who volunteers every week to see that SOS property is maintained. 

2 Thessalonians 1:3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

  

Thanks for the Tree

July 2, 2015

Yesterday the thermometer read 99 degrees in the sun in Florida. SOS Events missionaries Alice and Randy did not let the heat stop them from going to the Flea Market in Plant City however.

The first blessing was that Alice had a coupon for $10.00 off and the space only cost $2.00. Then she asked the parking attendant if she could have a spot for the canopy under a tree. He let her get out of the line to go under a beautiful shade tree. God blessed the workers with 21 people who asked JESUS to be their Saviour.

The thanks goes to God who gave the increase and thankfulness for the tree. God loves and blesses the faithful soul winners.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

How Many Reasons?

November 20, 2014

“There are so many reasons to be thankful.
There are 8766 hours a year ~ how many of them
do we spend in praise and thanksgiving for all that our
heavenly Father has done for us and all He will be doing for us?”
By deborah ann

1 Chronicles 23:30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even;

Praise

November 18, 2014

People from all over the world have come to SOS website. Many are hungry for the Word of God and have gotten the Bible studies.
When SOS was founded in 2001 we expected to go with the gospel to the USA, but God had other plans. The blog has only been active for about one year and people from 85 countries outside the USA have been on the website this year so far. Over 85,000 people have had the opportunity to be saved and to grow in Christ.
With thankful hearts all the Praise goes to the Lord for the privilege of having this website and blog.

Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Bible Studies

November 13, 2014

The Bible Studies on our website gets thousands of people searching for them. These studies have been a blessing in our lives personally, but have been a way for Christian growth to the people who have used them, not only in our country but all over the world.
Today we are thankful The Bible studies and the many people who have been able to use them from this website.

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Journey of Thankfulness

November 10, 2014

November is the time of year when we should be focusing on the things that we are thankful for. Everyday, in the blog the purpose this month is to call your attention to the ways you can be thankful.
As the day dawns each morning my thoughts immediately go to what am I thankful for today? What can I write that will cause others to Praise the Lord for all His blessings?
My heart has been filled with gratitude, joy and fullness of the presence of God.
God has a plan for each of our lives and one thing He says is to give thanks in all things. When we do, even if times are stressful or seemingly impossible He then gives that inner peace and joy the only a child of God can know.
It is still early in November and it is hard to wait until tomorrow to see what my Journey of thankfulness will bring to my heart. Come join me on the journey.

Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Delivery Man

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.
