First Priority held its SCORE (Students Count On Real Examples) Benefit Lunch on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, at The Club. We would like to thank all those who attended and helped support this special event financially. The ministry of First Priority has been able to touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of students over the past 24 years because of faithful people like you.

 

Nearly 160 guests and volunteers joined us for a great time of encouragement and fellowship. Everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch and an incredible and interesting message by America's Historian David Barton. We all received a treat learning about America's history and how, "The Bible is the rock upon which our republic rests." It is great to know that the Bible and prayer were the center of the creation of our government. Even though a lot has changed since that time, we are very thankful for the Equal Access Act and that we have the privilege to go into public schools to share the love and message of Jesus Christ with students.

We continue to work to raise up a generation of students who will choose to make Jesus Christ their First Priority, and who will not be ashamed to share Him with their peers. For years, church leaders have heard the claim that nearly nine out of 10 Christians accept Jesus as their savior before the age of 18. If that statistic was accurate in the past, it no longer depicts U.S. society. Now Barna says that, "If Jesus is not already part of their lives by the time they leave junior high school, the chance of them accepting Him as their Lord and savior is very slim (6% to be exact)." That is why we unite the body of Christ with a plan of action to influence the school with the Gospel.
