Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Look for Opportunity to Witness

May 14, 2014

Tom and I went out to eat to celebrate Mother’s Day.
We went a day late because the restaurants are too crowded on Mother’s Day.
As we approached the restaurant a woman was sitting on a bench outside. Just then fire trucks went by with an emergency vehicle also. As the sirens screamed, the woman said to me, “I really hate that sound, it makes me so nervous.”
Tom returned to the car to get some Bible tracts, and I handed the woman a tract that I had in my pocket and told her, “Read this and it will take away your fear if you do what it says.”
When Tom came back towards the restaurant he also handed the woman a Bible tract.
She was reading the one I had given her, and thanked Tom, because she wanted one for her husband also.
Inside the restaurant after we had finished eating, we got into a conversation with three ladies sitting at the next table.
We had the opportunity to talk with them about the Bible and found out that they had a grandfather that was a godly Christian man.
They said he was religious. We gave each of those three ladies a Bible tract.
Also gave one along with a good tip to the waiter.
Witnessing is something everyone can do. God wants us to have our eyes open looking for opportunities to speak to someone about him or just hand them a Bible tract.
Today look for an opportunity to Serve Our Savior by handing out a Bible track or telling someone about Him.

Acts 5:32
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Thirty-one Saved

Randy with a family who got saved at the Auburndale, FL, Flea Market. There were 31 people who made decisions this weekend. The Lakeland SOS team are faithful, rain or shine, heat or cold, every week witnessing for The Lord.
Henry Blackaby says, “Find out where God is working and join Him.”
God is working in SOS Events Ministry.
Wherever you are you could have a team and God would work through you to see many people come to Christ.

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great…….

$20 and 2 souls

April 25, 2013

SOS tries to be a good steward of God’s money. A new desk was needed for the ministry. We found one on Craig’s list for $20. When we went to pick it up the 2 people who sold it to us offered to load it in the truck.
Tom asked Candy if she would like to know the 3 things God can not do and she hesitated.
Then Tom turned to Curtis and asked him if he would like to know.
Curtis said, “Yes”.
Tom then continued on with the gospel presentation and both Candy and Curtis trusted The Lord for salvation. What a joy to be used to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus.

Weekends

April 20, 2013

How do you spend your weekend? The teams from SOS spend Saturday and part of Sunday after church winning souls to Christ. We are praying for these teams as they labor in the marketplace every weekend.
God is pleased with Christians who spend their “free time” witnessing for Him.
More workers are needed. As summer approaches there are many events where a booth could be set up. SOS wants YOU.

Soul Winning Feedback

August 18, 2012

After ordering some new supplies from the company we usually order from, I received this email:

Hello Carolyn,
Hope all is well and thank you for the order. I was very pleased last time I got to speak with Tom on the phone and made your news letter and the bible Tom sent me. I even took pictures to show my friends and family. Your order should ship tomorrow. Do you guys use the online studio that we offer, I would be glad to give you a year for free to it if you use it.
Thanks,
Adam
Adam was saved on the phone 2 years ago after we placed our first order with his company. He sent pictures of the Bible we sent him and also the note Tom wrote as well as the portion of the newsletter that we printed about him.
Sometimes people ask, “Can someone be saved in just a few minutes with the “3 Things God Can Not Do” method of soul winning. Adam was, as well as hundreds and thousands of others who have prayed and wrote out testimonies on the back of decision cards.

Diana Administrative Assistant Leads a Man to Christ

April 30, 2012

Diana 4-26-12 approx. 10:50 a.m. outside IHop, on Fowler, Tampa, FL
Whether planting the seed of salvation or leading someone to Christ, listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. After visiting with family I haven*t seen for a few years and before parting ways, the idea of having our picture taken arose. There was only one young man standing outside, so we asked if he would take our picture for us. He graciously agreed. The Holy Spirit prompted me to hand him a tract from our ministry and ask him if he has seen The Three Things God Cannot Do. He replied no, but he would like to. We proceeded through the three things then I asked him if he was 50, 75 or 100% sure if he died today would he go to heaven. He said, without hesitation, 75%. I asked if he would like to be 100% sure, with his strong *yes* reply, we proceeded through the ABC*s of Salvation. He called upon the name of the Lord to be his Savior. He assured me that now he is 100% sure of heaven and thanked me. Thank you Lord for this man*s salvation and thank you for giving me the blessing.

God’s Blessings

March 29, 2012

285 decisions for Christ at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL What a blessing from the Lord.
He never stops sending His blessings.
Several, Christians also got tracts and the result was invitations to train or speak for various churches and organizations.
Two have been held. The first, Tom had opportunity to speak to the residents of the Good Samaritan Inn in Tampa. Several were saved and many came for prayer at the end of the service.
The 2nd was a training at Northside Baptist Church in Lakeland, FL. Ten attended and the people got excited to witness for the Lord. The pastor decided to put 2 display boards in the foyer for Sunday morning and evening service. Then he kept the boards there for various activities. Eight people made decisions for Christ.
SOS is expectantly waiting for God to bring more blessings and more souls to Himself through SOS Events.

Harrison Rally Day – Riegel’s Report

November 9, 2009

SOS Soul Winners Sharing the 3 Things(by Don and Shirley Riegel) Our church had a booth at Harrison Rally Day (HRD). The “Three Things God Cannot Do” were presented to 203 people of which there were 26 decisions to trust Christ (17 for the first time and 9 for assurance). We had six workers at the booth plus one who was trained two years ago and was not on the schedule. Pray that our church will do more outreach events like this and that all members and young people will take the training. One rather shy man had tried to witness to people before, but he had not seen anyone receive Christ as Savior as the result of his effort until HRD. He had twelve people pray to be saved including five girls at one time. When asked “Do you plan to use the SOS method again and would you encourage others to take the training and work at the booth?”, he said “yes!”

Testimony from a Shy Soul Winner“Achieving God’s purpose involves taking faith filled risks (Heb. 11:6). That’s exactly what I did recently when I stepped out of my comfort zone and, in faith, took the SOS training. I followed the Holy Spirit’s leading to bring others to Christ at the recent Harrison Rally Days.
Taking a faith filled risk, is one of our core values, and I feel SOS gives me more passion now to tell others about Jesus. It will help me to be more of a “doer of the Word and not just a hearer only.” WW (OH)

To God be the glory. Great things He hath done!!
