Church Yard Evangelism Ideas!

August 24, 2023

Church-yard evangelism is one of the most powerful growth vehicles for any church, if done right.  The problem is, most could be a great deal more effective than they are; think about any of these activities you have been involved in over the years at any church you have visited.  Here is a list of activities / events commonly sponsored, or supported by churches, either near, or on their church property:

  • Yard sales
  • BBQ
  • Car Shows
  • Events for Children (games, rides, etc…)
  • Fall Festival
  • Egg Hunt
  • Fish Fry

There are many more different kinds of activities that could be listed.  These events usually reflect the social fabric and interest of the sponsoring, or participating church.  Many times these are planned fund raisers.  However, the goals also typically evolve around introducing new people to the church through some form of interaction, with the hope of leading others into a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Additional benefits include helping introduce existing Christians, new to the area, to your church; help them find a new church home.  Other benefits include fellowship among participating church members , and exposure for the church in other indirect ways.  Most would agree, if others accept Christ (souls saved) as their personal savior “at the event”, then this would be like having your cake, and eating it too…   … a win-win-win.  Praise the Lord!  Any kind of church-yard evangelism can always be about seeing souls saved.  In fact, why plan one if that’s not included? People need the Lord!

SOS Events is about showing others how they can come to expect a harvest of souls at almost any event.  Tom Curtis often reminds others that it’s not him, his wife Carolyn and other SOS workers that save souls, but it’s faith in action based on their surrender to a relationship that allows Him to do His will.  Write to info@sosevents.org, if you would like more information, or help with your event.

Psalm 72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

Rare Saturday

September 21, 2019

It is rare that no events are scheduled for SOS Events Ministry on a Saturday. Moving toward the end of September and there is a quiet time, but the busiest time of the year is in October and every person who has been trained to witness at events is needed. Your team leader needs to have you say YES when you are asked to volunteer at an event. Let us be faithful laborers and have hundreds of souls saved in the next 6 weeks.

How is Your Church Doing?

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

An Event

March 12, 2018

“An event is when you get up in the morning.” A quote from Tom Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry. Everyday we have opportunity to witness to someone. Maybe in a grocery store, on the phone, in an email or letter. We don’t have to be in an organized event to tell someone about Jesus. At least we can give someone a gospel tract. It is our responsibility as Christians to go and tell. What event is in your life today?

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

SOS Events Teams

February 21, 2018

SOS Events has teams of people who love to win souls at events. In the State of Alabama there are several groups from different areas. The group pictured here is from the Montgomery area. One of the reasons Christians like SOS Events is that it is a team effort. There are always 3 or 4 people working together at an event. God blesses Christians who work together with one goal in mind, winning the lost to Jesus. All that is needed for a team is 3 or 4 people. Think of your friends and you can get a team together in your area. We will come and train you, provide the tools you need to be a witness for Christ.

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

Talladega NASCAR Races

SOS Events  is at the races! Pray for Dale Brown, Tabitha and Matthew Ragsdale, Carl Norton, Patricia S Sides, Glenn and Dena Priddy, Randy Thomas and Ramona Thomas, Beth & Wes Walker, Billy Irvin, and Bob Howard as they share about Jesus with race fans this weekend. Our SOS group will be at 3 different ministry sites using a simple but effective method of presenting the Gospel. Pray for all ministry team. A big shout out to Billy Dickey, Mark Stokes and the rest of the ARM crew who work hard as servant leaders for this event in the spring and fall and their amazing assistants Debbie Dickey, Ana Laura Raymundo, Jason Falls and too many others to name. Huge opportunity to reach those who may never attend church.

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Go and Tell

October 9, 2017

In church yesterday the invitation song was “People Need the Lord” written by Steve Green. The words are beautiful and the message is clear. Why are we as Christians sitting by doing nothing when people all around us are lost without Jesus? Your friend or neighbor might be smiling on the outside and hurting on the inside just waiting for someone to give them the answer for their heartache. We have the answer, faith in Jesus. Jesus gave us a commandment, go and tell.

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

Do Something

SOS Displays

May 1, 2017

Many churches around the Country use the “3 Things God Can Not Do” displays from SOS Events ministry to win souls at churchyard events. Bible Baptist Church in Appomattox, VA is one of those churches. Praise the Lord that God uses SOS Events materials in many different ways to have both young and old people get saved. Last weekend the church had an Awana Grand Prix, were children make model race cars and race them. Many children and parents attended. A great way to get the gospel to people in the community.

Colossians 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

John, the Miracle Baby

December 14, 2016

God’s miracle preformed in Zachariahs and Elizabeth’s baby, John. A child conceived in old age but chosen to go before The Lord to prepare his way. We see John in later scripture doing that as he preached and Jesus came to him to be baptized.Can God preform miracles today? He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

John the Baptist knew who Jesus was and declared it to everyone who would listen. He was a witness. Those of us who are saved also know who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we have a responsibility to tell others.

Ask The Lord to give you opportunity to tell someone about Him today.

Luke 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
