Celebrate the Light (CTL) is a media presentation which you can use to help raise funds for Light for the Lost and promote special projects in your church or district. It's all about celebrating what Jesus has done in the lives of people through LFTL and people like you. Some churches host a "Light for the Lost Day" or a church-wide meal event centered around LFTL. They will show one of the videos, and then take a special offering for a LFTL project. We encourage you to be creative in how you use these CTL videos. Below here are synopses of 16 CTL videos we've produced, and links to either stream or download them:

ALBANIA

For decades, Albania was the only constitutionally atheist nation on earth. Owning a Bible or any religious material could land you in prison. But the people were always hungry for truth, hope, and answers to life's great questions. When the door to Albania finally opened, missionaries Kurt and Stephanie Plagenhoef arrived and began using Light for the Lost resources to evangelize, plant churches, and make disciples. More than 62,000 Albanians have come to Christ during those years! In this Celebrate the Light video, Kurt introduces us to four Albanians (one pictured here) whose lives have been impacted by those LFTL resources.

ASIA

For 44 years, Light for the Lost assisted missionaries Ron and Penny Maddux in Asia. Any time they needed evangelism resources, LFTL was there to help! In Cambodia in particular the Maddux' benefited from LFTL support when they opened homes and schools for war orphans. As children, LFTL provided them with a Bible so they could learn to read, and also understand God's Word. Years later, many of the orphans became pastors, and again received Bibles provided by LFTL. What an impact LFTL has has in Cambodia! The story of Moses in this video is especially beautiful

AFRICA ACTS 2

The African church is exploding in growth at an extremely rapid pace! But this rapid growth raises concerns about church health.

Acts 2 Journey and Light for the Lost have been invited by missionaries and African churches to help address this massive missiological challenge. We're so close to finishing the task of reaching 860 remaining unreached tribes! Acts 2 Journey and LFTL now invite YOU to be part of the next big missions push in Africa.
