SPEED THE LIGHT

2026

THIS IS OUR MOMENT

This is not about vehicles.

This is about the Gospel moving forward.

When we give, missionaries move.
When missionaries move, people meet Jesus.

Here is who we are sending and where they are serving.

When we give, missionaries move. When missionaries move, people meet Jesus.

Why we do this

A student's offering, a missionary's vehicle.

It can feel small — students emptying their pockets, giving up a coffee, raising support a few dollars at a time. But add it up across our network and it becomes something only God could do.

Speed the Light puts wheels under the gospel: vehicles, sound equipment, and tools missionaries need to reach people who have never heard the name of Jesus.

When a student gives, they learn early that their generosity moves the gospel to the ends of the earth — and that they're part of something far bigger than themselves.

Every dollar a student gives is the gospel going somewhere it has never been.
🇮🇩Indonesia

Eleah Tercero

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
2025 Peugeot Van
$40,000

Eleah serves over one million university students in Yogyakarta through Chi Alpha ministry.

Every week she prayer walks campuses and invites students into community with a free meal, real connection, and the Gospel.

Friday nights the building fills up. Sound equipment, LED screens, and social media expand the reach far beyond the room.

When we give, creativity meets the Gospel and students encounter Jesus.

🇹🇭Thailand

Seth Buikema

Thailand
Toyota Tacoma
$40,000

Seth is reaching villages where no church has ever existed.

No Bible. No worship gathering. No Gospel witness.

He has been getting there by bike.

A truck means more villages. More students. More Gospel.

We are not giving comfort. We are giving access.

🇩🇴Dominican Republic

Berly & Jamie Bello

Dominican Republic
2022 Dodge Durango
$40,000

For twenty six years they have planted churches and raised up leaders.

Thousands of teenagers reached. Hundreds of leaders trained.

Now they are launching the CALLED initiative to send Dominican missionaries to the nations.

When we give, we multiply the mission.

🇪🇸Spain

Dan Johnson

Spain
Metro Pass
$20,000

Dan is planting a Persian church.

His vehicle is public transportation.

Every train ride is a conversation. Every commute is a divine appointment.

Speed the Light keeps him moving so nothing slows down what the Spirit is doing.

Never underestimate what God can do on a subway car.

🇹🇬Togo

Pat & Suzanne Hurst

Lomé, Togo
2025 Toyota 4Runner
$50,000

Pat leads the largest pastoral training school in West Africa, equipping leaders who plant churches across the continent.

He also oversees missionaries in sixteen countries.

Suzanne equips local churches to care for vulnerable communities through compassion ministries.

Their work requires strong, reliable transportation across difficult terrain.

When we give, leaders are trained and churches are planted.

🇺🇸United States

Doug & Bonnie Knox

Washington and Idaho
2024 Ford Maverick
$30,000

Doug and Bonnie travel church to church helping pastors remodel and repair buildings so they can reach more people.

Fifteen churches every year. Thousands of dollars saved. Resources redirected into ministry.

A Toyota Tacoma keeps them efficient and keeps them moving.

When we give, churches get stronger.
