Dear First Priority Partner,
Have you ever given a Christmas gift and saw it instantly doubled? Well, during our 2021 Victory Matching Challenge, that’s exactly what will happen! Some donors have challenged us to raise as much as $100,000 for the ministry of First Priority from now until the end of the year, and they will match it dollar-for-dollar!
I’d like to invite you to become a part of this ministry through your financial support. Your year-end gift will have twice the impact in young lives during our 2021 Victory Matching Challenge! Can I count on your support?
Your prayer and support helped First Priority relaunch over 100 First Priority and Priority Kids elementary clubs this fall AND start several brand new clubs! We have also been able to reengage campus volunteers who were unable to be on campus last school year due to COVID-19. We have been able to organize new volunteers for our clubs as well.
We are receiving daily reports and pictures from club meetings all over Greater Birmingham. More than 50 students have made a decision to follow Christ at their First Priority club just over the past month. We’re celebrating these changed lives and the amazing work God is doing in our schools through First Priority and Priority Kids clubs.
On a serious note, as Debi mentioned in the video above, according to Springtide, when asked who they turn to for help when feeling overwhelmed and not knowing what to do about something, 75% of young people indicated that they turn to friends or someone at school. First Priority meets this need by empowering and equipping Christian students (friends) and providing a Christian group on the school campus where young people can find help. First Priority opens the door for local church volunteers to establish a relationship and a presence with their local schools making it easier for students to have access to the local church in their community. Simply stated – We cannot wait on young people to come to the church. The church must go to where they are…and that’s at school.
I am asking you to help us help these students. Your gift between now and December 31st will be DOUBLED and help First Priority work with local churches and students to spread the Good News. Can we count on your support?
Please pray about sending a gift by December 31. Did you know you can also become a Fundraiser for First Priority! Start a fundraising page and share our year-end information with your friend groups and/or church family through social media or other informational channels. The process to setup your page is SO easy! You can fundraise as an individual or setup a team. We hope you will get involved and help us reach more students with the Gospel!
Please let me hear from you soon! May God bless you this holiday season!
Keeping Christ The First Priority,
