Speed the Light is a student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program. It began in 1944 after Ralph Harris, then head of the National Youth Ministries department, prayed for a way to give Assemblies of God students the opportunity to help missionaries in their work. Nearly 80 years later, STL is one of the most effective youth mission's ministries in existence. Since its beginning, over $395 million has been raised for missionary equipment around the world. STL is still helping to disciple students to live a life of generosity as they become personally responsible for the mission of God by helping our missionaries make Jesus known throughout the world. For more information, check out https://stl.ag.org/.
