Speed
the Light (STL) is
the student-initiated
ministry that provides transportation
and communications
equipment to missionaries
across the nation and in over
150 countries around the world.
STL has its humble
beginnings in 1944 when Ralph W.
Harris (then head of the NYD),
prayed for a way to give A/G
youth the opportunity to help
missionaries in their work.
Today, STL is one of the most
effective missions programs
in the church world. Assemblies
of God students have accepted a
great responsibility to voluntarily
raise funds to purchase the
equipment. Since its inception, STL
has raised a total of
$136,407,483.15 for missionary
equipment around the world.
Speed the Light has one guiding
principle: All assistance must
go to purchase equipment
directly related to evangelism (“evangelism”
is defined as propagating the
gospel and instructing converts).
STL equipment has not
been nor is presently given
for promotion, solicitation, or
normal administrative funds.
