Nothing's Too Hard for God

Speed the Light began in 1944 after Ralph Harris, then

head of the National Youth Ministries department, prayed

for a way to give A/G students the opportunity to help

missionaries in their work. Now, by providing ministry

equipment to our missionaries, STL is training the young

people of America to develop individual ownership of the

Great Commission as they help our missionaries spread

the gospel message to the lost.

Today, Speed the Light is one of the most effective youth

missions ministries in the church world. Assemblies of

God students have accepted a great responsibility to

voluntarily sacrifice and raise funds to purchase the

equipment. STL operates with 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 functions.

If our missionaries are going to get to where the lost live,

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.

We give so our missionaries can travel faster, preach

clearer, and be heard louder, in order that that Heaven

might be a bigger place…filled with people from every

nationality, color, and tribe who have accepted Him as
