9.9.9. – A day of giving that will make Speed the Light history.
Can you imagine what $900,000 could mean to our missionaries?
6 semi trucks
30 new cars, mini-vans or SUVs
90 new sound systems
180 new video projectors as well as other media equipment that helps develop biblical training DVDs
Just one sound system brought Anwar* from Nigeria the message that he was loved even though he is an outcast of his village – dying of AIDS.
Just one van brought Malila* from Bombay away from a life of sex slavery.
Just one SUV brings missionary Joel Marbut through the rain forest of Ecuador to take the gospel to remote.
Just one radio station broadcast in Iceland takes the message of God’s love across the airwaves of a country that is desperate for hope.
The results of just one seed planted through Speed the Light = countless souls saved and lives changed for the Kingdom.
Since its start in 1944 students across the nation have corporately raised nearly $236 million for Speed the Light, which equips missionaries across the globe with essential transportation and creative communication equipment. But the need on the field is still great.
Currently there are $23 million in approved opportunities to reach this world with the gospel. As of January 2009, 189 U.S. Missions and 1,765 World Missions projects are still waiting for funding.
Can you imagine yourself – just one person – as a part of a group of 900 students just like you, committed to raise an extra $100 each for Speed the Light to help us help our missionaries?
But the potential doesn’t stop there.
Can you imagine if you were one of 90,000 students joining the cause?
Now just imagine what $9 million could do.
You can be a part of making this vision a reality on 9.9.9 (Wednesday, September 9, 2009) as you and your youth group take part in the biggest Speed the Light offering ever taken around the nation.
Youth from across the nation will rally together in spirit for 9ine, in order to catapult this year by responding to the need to give on above and beyond on what Speed the Light has ever done before…
In just one offering… On just one day… Are you up to the challenge?
