We hope you and your family have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving holiday. We are very thankful for you and your continuous prayer and support of this ministry. It is because of you that we are able to reach students with the Hope of Christ each week on more than 200 school campuses across the Greater-Birmingham area. We are truly grateful for people like you who desire to see students come to know Christ. We thank God for the amazing things He is doing in our schools this year.
In September, more than 30,000 local students participated in See You at the Pole. Earlier in the year, over 500 students and group leaders attended our winter retreat ALIVE, and more than 30 students made decisions for Christ. Nearly 500 students, teachers, youth leaders and parents attended our 8th Annual Leadership Conference. Despite the threat for winter weather and school delays, we were still able to positively impact many students’ lives. We launched FPKids in elementary and intermediate schools with over 25 clubs and more than 6,000 students. We have new FPKids clubs starting every day!
During the 2012-2013 school year, nearly 13,000 students attended First Priority every week and over 1,400 students made a decision for Christ! With life changes like these, a city can be changed and our generation can be changed. We thank God for His great power and we give Him all the praise and glory for the lives that were touched and changed throughout the year.
We serve a great and almighty God! We have so much to be thankful for. May God bless you and your family this holiday season.
Happy Thanksgiving from the staff at First Priority!
