From the Organizer
Speed the Light is the student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program that provides much-needed equipment to missionaries across the nation and in over 180 countries around the world. 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
Our event will be located in downtown Oil City, Louisiana. We will begin the day with a short-distance fun run for the kids (under 11) before the big event!
