Raising up a generation for the Kingdom
Dear Friend,
For the past 25 years, First Priority has worked to see the Hope of Christ in every student across the Greater-Birmingham Area. During this time, we have seen hundreds of thousands of lives transformed for the Kingdom. We thank God for His great power and we give Him all the praise and glory for these changed lives. During the 2015-2016 school year, out of the schools that reported, over 13,210 students attended First Priority and FPKids every week when school was in session; and we are excited to announce that nearly 750 students made a decision for Christ on their school campus. There were countless more salvation decisions at First Priority sponsored events throughout the school year as well. These students were followed-up with to be discipled and become involved with a local church. Wow, God is good!
FPKids was a hit again with nearly 4,000 students in attendance each week. FPKids is a First Priority curriculum for elementary and intermediate schools. Our mission is to reach students with Christ at a younger age.
The public school is the largest mission field in America. Students on our campuses work each week to ensure the Gospel is spread throughout their school. They are unashamed and eager to share their faith and help their friends mature in their relationship with Christ. The desire to see their friends accept the love and message of Jesus Christ is evident in the number of salvations reported for the 2015-2016 school year. While students are reaching students, God is at work shaping lives.
In my 20 years of working with this great ministry, I can tell you that First Priority works and that lives are truly being changed. I am very blessed to have witnessed the incredible transformation of students first-hand. With this movement, all it takes is one student and an entire school and generation can be changed for Christ. God is truly amazing and we know He can do anything. We can’t wait to see how He is going to move in our schools and through our students in the years to come. We hope you will take a moment to check out our full ministry report to learn about all the incredible things God did during the 2015-2016 school year through First Priority.
