The SOS Events Motto?

February 4, 2021

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”
While the US Postal Service has no official motto, the popular belief that it does is a tribute to America’s postal workers.

The volunteers SOS Events should adopt this motto. For the last two weeks the temperature early in the morning on Wednesday in Florida has been in the low 30s.

To those of you who live in colder climates this might not seem cold, but to Floridians, working and almost freezing weather and wind under a canopy for four hours is very uncomfortable.

The SOS Events team, refused to stay in and not go to the Plant city Flea Market in spite of the very cold weather. God blessed them. Yesterday, eight people trusted Jesus as their Savior.

Thank you, Lord for your blessings. And thank you faithful SOS Events volunteers for not letting the weather stop you from witnessing to the lost.

A Favorite Salvation Story

February 1, 2021

One of my favorite salvation stories is when a man brought his beer in one hand and his cigarette in the other hand into the booth to find out about the “3 things God cannot do.”

The Holy Spirit led him to accept Christ as His Lord and Savior for the very first time that day. After he prayed he said (matter-of-factly): “You know, I’ve been thinking about not drinking as much.”

The soulwinner replied, “I like sweet tea. It’s pretty good.”

Love that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ and how God immediately works through the Holy Spirit to change our hearts once we give them to Him. You don’t have to change and get all dressed up to come to God. Come to God and He’ll do all the changing needed.

NOTE: This guy was NOT drunk. We do not give the gospel presentation to anyone who appears to be mentally/physically/emotionally unable to understand the gospel presentation. Just give them tracts and pray for them.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Are You Obedient?

January 26, 2021

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

The great commission is to go and tell. Bringing others to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Are you obedient?

Opportunities

January 19, 2021

Witnessing to people is more difficult today than it has been in the past. Social distancing, masks and fear of contracting illness has kept us from talking to others.

Normal places to witness like a grocery store, waiting for an appointment or any public place has become almost impossible.

As a Christian, what can we do? Take advantage of every opportunity. Freely give out tracts. Put them in a restroom, in letters that you send out. Use email, phone calls or any form of communication to tell people about Jesus. If you are able to join SOS Events and go to an event to witness.

Be creative. Think of ways you can tell others about the gospel. It is our responsibility to be a witness for the Lord Jesus.

People Need the Lord

January 11, 2021

On Saturday, SOS Events had 2 events in Florida. The Sugar Cane Festival in Dade City where 4 boys ask Jesus to be their Savior.

In Plant City, at a food distribution, 24 people had their lives changed when they trusted in Jesus.

Many of you prayed for these events. Thank you for your prayers. Now, please pray for these new Christians, that they will grow and become strong in the faith.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Events

January 9, 2021

Today, SOS Events has 2 places that will have teams of volunteers to witness to people in Florida.

This photo was taken last month at a food distribution at a local church in Plant City. SOS Events volunteers will be at this event again today.

At the same time more volunteers will be in Dade City at an all day event. Please pray for souls to be saved. Pray for SOS Events workers that they have wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit.

Events are few because of COVID-19 but God still gives opportunities to tell others about Jesus.

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,

A Good Resolution For 2021

December 30, 2020

Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2020. It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2021, and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.

Witnessing is a little more difficult because of social distancing and lack of events and physical gatherings, but we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative. Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.

Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.:

Lineville, Alabama

November 6, 2020

Our SOS team was in Lineville, Alabama at the Heritage Day Saturday, we had two salvations. Praise God 8 people needed assurance of their salvation.

All people who make a decision and fill out a decision card will receive a Bible Study to help them grow as Christians.

The team shared the word with over 300 people. And God is an awesome God… We love our SOS team.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I’m Not Good At Witnessing.

October 28, 2020

Do you ever feel that you are not good at witnessing?

God tells us in the Bible that once we are saved it is our responsibility to tell others how to be saved.

You can be free from the lie that you are not good at it, because God is the One who will speak through you.

SOS Events Ministry trains people how to witness in a simple non-confrontational way. See the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and the A,B,C of salvation on the home page.

If you practice using these simple verses, then pray, trust the Lord for opportunities, and have courage to witness. You will be amazed how God will use YOU to lead people to Jesus.

Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

SOS Events Training

October 26, 2020

Yesterday, 22 people came together to learn how to witness to others using the “3 Things God Can Not Do” with SOS Events Ministry.

Some of them were seasoned soul winners and others were not confident in telling people about Jesus and how people can be saved.

This new team in Lakeland, Florida are excited to begin to witness at events.

Please pray for them that events will open for them to be able to have a place to go to use what they learned at training.

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.
