Everywhere, is the Speed the Light theme for 2007-2008. Speed the Light (STL) is the Assemblies of God, student-initiated program that raises funds to provide equipment and vehicles to missionaries so that we can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness.
As missionaries, we have gone everywhere in Jamaica with our STL vehicle. Although we live on an island that is about the size of Connecticut, Jamaica’s terrain proves challenging; a 50-mile trek through the mountains can take over 2 hours to travel. We use our STL vehicle to take the New Vision children to school, the hospital, doctor’s appointments, field trips, and other special outings. We are grateful to the Indiana District youth who personally sacrificed and helped raise funds for this necessary means of transportation.
Thankfully, New Vision City of Refuge has been approved to receive a STL, 15-passenger seat van. Anyone who has visited us knows how desperately New Vision City of Refuge needs this vehicle. Unfortunately the needed funds are not yet available (New Vision has been waiting 2 years).
We are not alone in our wait; many missionaries are facing the same dilemma. Please, help speed the light to a world in darkness. Talk to your pastor or youth pastor today to see how you can give. Visit Speed the Light on the web at http://speedthelight.ag.org/.
