I Love to Tell the Story

November 16, 2015

     A young girl, Katherine Hankey, who devoted her life to Sunday school work fell seriously ill at age 30.
       During her convalescence, in the year 1866, she wrote a long poem which contains the words of this hymn:

I Love to Tell the Story

(1) I love to tell the story Of unseen things above,

Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love;

I love to tell the story- Because I know ’tis true,

It satisfies my longings As nothing else can do.

CHORUS:

I love to tell the story!

Twill be my theme in glory-

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and His love.

(2) I love to tell the story- More wonderful it seems

Than all the golden fancies Of all our golden dreams;

I love to tell the story- It did so much for me,

And that is just the reason- I tell it now to Thee.

(3) I love to tell the story- ‘Tis pleasant to repeat

What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet;

I love to tell the story- For some have never heard

The message of salavtion From God’s own holy word.

(4) I love to tell the story- For those who know it best

Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it like the rest;

And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song,
‘Twill be the old, old story That I have loved so long.”

Every Christian should love to tell about Jesus. That is the reason SOS Events ministry was founded. To tell others how to be saved and to teach Christians how to tell in a simple non confrontational way.

Acts 11:14  Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
 
 
 

390 Decisions for Christ

November 11, 2015

SOS Events team in Alabama once again did a terrific job witnessing and winning souls using the “3 Things God Can Not Do” at an event.

Patty Mills, team leader, wrote:
We are praising God for the 390 decisions for Christ made at the Alabama National Fair over 10 days – Oct. 30 through Nov. 8. Without the prayers and the Holy Spirit going before us, using us and going after us, none of it would have been possible.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
  

Endorsement

November 10, 2015

Testimony received from Alabama recently. What a great endorsement for SOS events and Praise the Lord for the souls saved.

 My name is Carey Waldrop. I am a former pastor. I am currently the chapter director for our Faith Riders ministry @ Mineral Springs Baptist Church. I was recently introduced to SOS. I was trained & also received training to be a trainer. I have already trained several of our faith rider members. I said all that to say this; we had an opportunity to use the sos method last Wednesday. We were invited to another church Enon Baptist to have a trunk or treat on our bikes, which we did. We also decided to bring along our sos board and share the gospel. Not only did our newly trained guys step up to the plate & put what they had learned into practice, but were excited to see immediate results with 12 souls coming to Christ. Thanks for a very simple way to not only share the gospel ( over the years I have used several) simple & easy to train others. In his service.

Fellowship

November 9, 2015

Pastor Romero and his wife, Maria stopped by Saturday to get supplies and turn in 79 decisions slips from the Flea Market in Lakeland, Fl.

It is always a joy to see them and fellowship. Maria speaks no English and we speak no Spanish but somehow the love of Jesus shines through and we communicate. When the pastor prays in Spanish, we know through the Holy Spirit that his prayers for us and the ministry reach the Father in Heaven.

Join with us in prayer for the Romeros and their church. He told us that the church has tripled in size since they have been witnessing at the flea market.

1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Nicky

November 7, 2015

  
This is a photo of Tom Curtis and Nicky, Tom’s physical therapist. Nicky comes to help Tom recover from his surgery. Yesterday, Nicky asked Jesus to be his Savior.

 He had been reading his Bible especially Revelation. He wanted to know more and the first thing Tom told him was the 3 Things God Can Not Do. Then explained the gospel and Nicky was excited to invite Jesus to be his Savior.

Sometimes in life things can be difficult (like a long recovery from surgery) but God uses that very situation to bring people to Himself. Nicky, along with several others may not have had the opportunity to accept Chirst if Tom had not needed home health care to help with his recovery. No one comes in to contact with Tom without being witnessed to and every doctor, nurse, lab worker, house cleaner heard about the Lord when he was in the hospital.

God tells us to be witnesses whatever the circumstances and He will give the increase.

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

Alabama Fair

November 4, 2015

The fair in Alabama is about half over and we are praying for many decisions at that event. Please pray with all of us at SOS Events that the workers will not be hindered by the devil. 

God is always faithful to bring people to the booth and this event is another opportunity to win souls.

  

Great Harvest

November 1, 2015

Reports from Halloween Events are coming into the SOS Events home office. We will list a few as there are still several events to report in on Monday. The events have different names but they all were Halloween related. All events were in Florida except the one in Alabama.

New Home Baptist 24 decisions, Turkey Creek 14 decisions, Lebanon 16, Avon Park 27.

Diana, SOS Events office manager has a SOS Events booth set up in her yard for Trick or Treat. 22 salvations were reported.

Eastmont in Alabama had 45 decisions at their Trunk or Treat. That brings the total to 148 decisions and more reports will be in by tomorrow. Praise the Lord for all the decisions made. Pray for the all the new converts that they will grow and learn more about their new life in Christ.

The picture is a SOS volunteer with Jacob, 10 years old, at the Eastmont event.

  
Colossians 3:10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Autumn Harvest

October 22, 2015

Autumn is harvest time. Usually farmers are bringing in the harvest and working hard to make sure all the crops are safely stored or preserved.

SOS Events ministry is also in the harvest fields bringing in a harvest of souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. Yesterday again God brought in a harvest of souls. Twelve precious people made decisions for Christ at the Plant City Flea Market. 

Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and also for the faithfulness of the SOS team who are at that flea market every week.

John 4:35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Florida Strawberry Festival

October 16, 2015

It is a great time to make plans to participate in an event for SOS Events. It may seem early as the Strawberry Festival in Plant City takes place in March in 2016 but there is 133 people needed to witness at that event. 

If you are in Florida and would like to be part of a terrific opportunity to win souls to Christ contact the Home Office via email: info@sosevents.org or phone: 813-494-7512 for more information.

JESUS, Every Knee Shall Bow

October 10, 2015

Yesterday, Octorber 9, in a major retail store a large display of Christmas trees, decorations and gifts were displayed. The commercialism for a special Holiday commemorating Jesus birth has been turned into a money making event and the worst part of it all is the name JESUS can not even be spoken in public.

His name, the Bible and any form of Christianity has been ridiculed and denounced by our government because of the “rights” of other religions (or lack of any religion). What happened to our Nation that was founded on the principles in the Bible? Freedom OF religion, not freedom From religion.

The Bible tells us that every knee shall one day bow to Jesus, the One who shed His blood that we may have eternal life. Let us who are Christians honor Him by telling others about Him and change the lives of people one person at a time.

Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
