Speed the Light
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, print, audio, and digital equipment, our missionaries can help make Jesus known.
“We give so our missionaries can travel faster, preach clearer, and be heard louder in order for all to know Jesus.”
If our missionaries are going to get to those who do not yet know Jesus, it will be because of Speed the Light. Every missionary in the Assemblies of God will at some point fly, drive, or float to their destination in transportation that has been provided to them by our churches and students through Speed the Light. Airplanes, cars, vans, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, buses, boats, horses, camels, donkeys, wheel barrows, etc. If it has wheels or hooves and can carry a missionary to a country, city, town, village, or under a card board box where someone is waiting to hear about Jesus, Speed the Light has provided it.
Simply put, we give so our missionaries can travel faster, preach clearer, and be heard louder in order for all to know Jesus.
Dream Day
The heart behind Dream Day is that youth groups would dedicate a service to dream and pray about what God would have them do for Speed the Light this year. We’d love if you’d join us on January 24th, but you can do your Dream Day service at any point in the year!
Our team has put together adaptable resources to provide you with everything you need to facilitate your Dream Day service. On the page you will find projector title and content slides, youth group goal posters, individual student goal cards, and social media graphics. There is also a fully recorded sermon from Pastor Josh, along with a sermon outline that can be used if you’d rather preach yourself.
You will also get to hear about our 2024 projects and trust us, they’re awesome! We are looking forward to what God is going to do this year through Kansas students, leaders, and churches as we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world that desperately needs him.
2024 Dream Day resources will be available January 17!
Speed the Light Sunday
Speed the Light Sunday is October 15th (or any Sunday that you choose!) We believe setting aside one Sunday a year to share about the mission of STL with your church is incredibly important. Speed the Light is a student initiated and lead movement, but it’s not limited to only students. Give the adults in your church the opportunity to join your students in giving generously to fund missions projects around the world!
The theme for this year’s STL Sunday is ALL IN. We are asking every person in every church to be ALL IN for missions! Whether you give a dollar or several hundred, every dollar matters to God because every dollar represents four people who will get to hear about Jesus.
Join us this fall to finish strong for STL and help us complete our remaining 2023 projects:
Vehicle for the Geesamans (Hope Fostered Missionaries)
Hollis Arena Project (Sumba, Indonesia)
Convoy of Hope Vehicle
Kansas Stories
God is doing some awesome things in and through the lives of students here in Kansas. Take a couple of minutes and hear these three students share about Speed the Light. This video is available through the downloadable resources below. If you have a great story about a student giving to Speed the Light, tell us about it!
