But, hurry, there’s only two days left!
 
If you have already given a gift, thank you for your generosity! If you haven’t given a gift yet, please let me take a moment to remind you that there’s no better way to continue your partnership with First Priority! Your gift of $25 will be immediately doubled to $50. Your $50 gift will be matched to make a $100 gift and $100 becomes $200. Your gift in any amount will have twice the impact in young lives during our 2017 Victory Matching Challenge campaign. Can I count on your support?
This school year marks First Priority’s 27th year of ministry and it has been very exciting and productive. Tens of thousands of students are touched each semester in Greater Birmingham by the ministry of hundreds of First Priority volunteers and donors like you. During the 2016-2017 school year, out of the clubs that reported, approximately 13,000 students attended First Priority clubs every week and over 550 students made a decision for Christ!
 
None of this would be possible without you! We thank God for you and your continuous support to ensure the Gospel is shared each year in schools across Greater Birmingham. Please click here to read about a few of the ways First Priority has impacted students’ lives in 2017.

Today is #GivingTuesday – Your gift to First Priority will be doubled!

by Leave a Comment

Today is #GivingTuesday, a day that charities, families, churches, businesses and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give to causes they believe in. There’s Black Friday, Cyber Monday and now it’s time for #GivingTuesday, which kicks off the charitable season of giving. It’s a simple idea, and we hope you’ll join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity!
This is an especially important time to give to First Priority… Some friends of First Priority have gotten together to challenge the ministry to raise $100,000 in November and December, and they will match every penny donated! On #GivingTuesday, your gift will be DOUBLED! Your gift of $25 will be immediately doubled to $50. Your $50 gift will be matched to make a $100 gift and $100 becomes $200. We hope you will consider giving a gift for our year-end Victory Matching Challenge. 
How you can be involved:
1) Please pray about a gift and give online. A gift in any amount will be instantly doubled for twice the joy, twice the hope and twice the love to a student who so desperately needs to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ! The great thing about #GivingTuesday is that it is less about the amount each individual gives and more about having many individuals giving on the same day.
2) Please share our #GivingTuesday information with your friend groups and/or church family through social media or other informational channels.
3) After you have given, please tell everyone you can about how you are giving and invite them to do the same. Be sure to use hashtags: #GivingTuesday and #HopeofChrist in your posts!
 
We are very thankful that for over 27 years we have had such strong support from churches and individuals who love what we do and desire to help the most vulnerable in our society. We hope #GivingTuesday will give you another way to join with us and to invite others to do the same.

VMC 2015 header (2)Great news… there’s still time to DOUBLE your investment to reach students with the Hope of Christ!

We are excited that once again this year, some donors have agreed to match every special gift we receive in November and December dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000! If you have already given a gift, thank you for your generosity. If you haven’t sent a gift yet, please let me take a moment to remind you that in these challenging economic times there’s no better way to continue your partnership with First Priority! Your year-end gift will have twice the impact in young lives during the 2015 Victory Matching Challenge.
We continue to be excited about the success we’ve had in this 25th year of First Priority’s ministry, and the opportunities that lie ahead for 2016. That’s why I’m asking for your support right now during this important challenge. I hope to hear from you soon! You are a vital part of so many lives through First Priority!
At the beginning of 2015, nearly 900 students, teachers, youth leaders and parents attended our 10th Annual Leadership Conference. Because of the demand from teachers and principals, we are planning to offer another Leader’s Summit in January 2016. FPKids is growing greatly! We now have over 40 elementary and intermediate schools with clubs and more than 7,000 students. We have new FPKids clubs starting every semester! This is the wave of the future for campus ministry. In September, more than 30,000 local students participated in See You at the Pole. Rallies planned by local churches across the area gave thousands of un-churched students an opportunity to hear the Gospel. This year, approximately 200 schools across the Greater-Birmingham area have active First Priority campus ministry groups. During the 2014-2015 school year, nearly 13,000 students attended First Priority every week and over 900 students made a decision for Christ! And, this doesn’t even begin to touch the great things your ministry through First Priority will do in 2016. For example, we are holding our 11th Annual day-long Leader’s Summit that will bring nearly 1,000 students from school systems all across Alabama. This seminar, held during school hours, has the enthusiastic support of Boards of Education from around the area!
None of this would be possible without your vital partnership! You are a partner in the lives of every student, parent, teacher and youth worker touched by First Priority ministries. We would like to invite you to continue your partnership and get involved in our Victory Matching Challenge campaign. Some friends of First Priority have gotten together to challenge the ministry to raise $100,000 in November and December, and they will match every penny donated! Your gift of $25 will be immediately doubled to $50. Your $100 gift will be matched to make a $200 gift and $250 becomes $500. We hope you will prayerfully consider giving a gift for our year-end Victory Matching Challenge. We have been doing this campaign for over 14 years and because of the impact it has made we have seen tens of thousands of lives changed.
Please consider sending a generous gift by December 31! A gift in any amount will be instantly doubled for twice the joy, twice the hope and twice the love to a student who so desperately needs to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ! Please let me hear from you soon! May God bless you this holiday season!
