CULTIVATING A HEART OF MISSIONAL GENEROSITY IN THE NEXT GENERATION
Speed the light (STL) is a program that not only supports missionaries but also fosters a heart for missions among young people. It is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the spread of the gospel worldwide.
WHY GO ALL IN?
We give so others can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness. Speed the Light (STL) engages, teaches, and disciples our youth in God’s mission to reach the lost! This is accomplished by creating a heart of missional generosity in students for the world’s needs and our missionaries’ needs. Students are challenged to sacrificially give to missions, reach the lost in their own area, and pray for missionaries around the globe. Funds raised through STL go to help missionaries travel faster, preach clearer, and be heard louder in order for all to know Jesus.

PROJECT RESCUE
Since Project Rescue was founded in 1997, we’ve been on a mission to rescue and restore victims of sexual exploitation through the love and power of God.
Each Project Rescue affiliated site is launched by courageous men and women of God, often starting with street outreach in areas of prostitution. No two partnerships are exactly the same, but all caregivers offer God’s love, liberating truth, and compassionate, holistic care. In each of the areas we serve, leaders and staff work 24/7 with survivors to support them on their journey toward restoration.
Current Project Rescue Projects:
1. Education of poverty-stricken families in high-risk areas, awareness programs, and residential care for children of exploited women.
2. Initiatives to educate and physically rescue women and children.
3. Meeting holistic needs of women and children as they are discipled to a new life in God.
AG Foster Care Network
We hope to see 20,000 children in U.S. foster care being cared for by our Assemblies of God churches and families.
We know that every Bible-believing church wants to follow the command to care for those that feel orphaned, but often they don’t know how or where to start. If the church doesn’t take a stand for these children, then who will?
Current AG Foster Care Projects:
1. Vehicles – 12 passenger vans (4)
2. Opening New State Agencies
3. Updating Campus
$30,000
FREE International
FREE International’s mission is to find, restore, embrace, and empower the survivors of human trafficking. Through a national training center and programs, mobile command centers, therapy dogs, church resources, and initiatives such as Big Searches, BGMC and STL can help make sure that FREE is equipped to continue spreading the gospel one survivor at a time.
Current Free International Projects:
1. Multi-purpose Search & Response Units – $125K per unit x 3 units
2. National Search & Rescue Ministry Institute – 800K for a National Training Center
