WE BELIEVE THAT GIVING IS OUR PRIVILEGE.

When students and youth pastors partner together for missions, powerful things happen! Giving to Speed the Light helps missionaries all over the world travel faster, minister more effectively, and be heard louder as they proclaim Jesus. Student initiated activities and the Jesus Tour are our primary ways of raising funds for STL.

In Pen Florida, we desire to mobilize students to become Life-long Givers, disciple them in generosity, and build their faith to go into missions. Speed the Light is the only teen mission giving initiative to resource missionaries.

Since 1944, STL has helped to challenge students in generosity as they become personally responsible for the mission of God by helping our missionaries make Jesus known throughout the world. STL has become one of the most effective youth missions’ ministries in the church world. Through Speed the Light, we have given towards building water wells, eradicating human trafficking, disaster relief, family services/child adoption, business-as-mission, sound systems, and missionary transportation. We also empowered thousands of students to reach the lost and hurting at their schools. Through the ministries of Speed the Light and Youth Alive we are bringing the Gospel to the nations and passing the baton to the next generation!

Every year, we tour around the state of Florida for the purpose of celebrating what God is doing through Speed the Light and Youth Alive Missions! We want to celebrate the work that JESUS is doing through our unstoppable community of givers!

The Jesus Tour is a catalyst for both local and global missions in PFYouth. You will leave with a burning vision for what youth missions could be in Florida if we all work together and put Jesus first!

The Jesus Tour is regional youth rallies, and it is FREE for everyone. Students and leaders are encouraged to bring their whole youth ministry with them.
