Light for the Lost
For over 60 years, Light for the Lost has strived to send the message of salvation through Christ through printing and distribution of gospel literature and other evangelism resources. Funding resources such as audio, visual and printed materials, Light for the Lost has one guiding principle: that all assistance must be used to provide resources directly related to evangelism. The need for resources is higher than ever, and 2020 marked another year where giving to Light For the Lost was up exponentially!
