Speed the Light

see more in: teens

It’s exciting to be a part of something that is making a difference. Speed the Light has been providing transportation and equipment for missionaries since 1944.

The concept is simple: we give so others can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness. This is accomplished by providing the “essential transportation and creative communication” equipment for missionary evangelism. Through modern transportation, radio, television, the printed word, and equipment for mass evangelism, our missionaries can better fulfill the Great Commission.

What Is Speed The Light?

Speed the Light (STL) is the student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program that provides much-needed equipment to missionaries across the nation and in over 180 countries around the world. Since its beginning, STL has raised over $220 million for missionary equipment around the world. (For more information on STL, click here: Knowing Speed the Light.)

STL is more than fundraising for missions. It’s about teaching teenagers that they can use what God has given them to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. It’s about letting them know that sometimes there are more important things to do with our resources than spending it on our own conveniences. It’s about learning that God’s heart reaches around the world and we can make a difference when we partner with others doing His work.
