I hope you received my previous e-mail. I wrote to tell you about an exciting opportunity. 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 given 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 of $25, $50, $75, $100 or even more will have twice the impact in young lives during the 2011 Victory Matching Challenge. Can I count on your support?

We continue to be excited about the success we've had in this 21st year of First Priority's ministry, and the opportunities that lie ahead for 2012. That's why I'm asking for your support right now during this important challenge. Your help is vital support to the work of thousands of students who bring the Gospel to the public school campuses through First Priority.

I hope to hear from you soon! You are a vital part of so many lives through First Priority! Nearly 600 salvations were reported across the nation during Kah-riss - National Campus Missionary Week October 24-28. Praise the Lord! Over 100 of those salvation decisions were made in the Greater Birmingham area. Kah-riss focused on campus missions on over 2,500 middle and high school campuses with First Priority campus movements across the U.S.

Thousands of students attend First Priority outreach events in their local communities each year. More than 15,000 students are taking part in First Priority clubs that meet on over 250 campuses every week when school is in session. "See You at the Pole" rallies across the area gave thousands of unchurched students an opportunity to hear the Gospel.

And, this doesn't even begin to touch the great things your ministry through First Priority will do in 2012. For example, we are holding our seventh annual day-long Leader's Summit that will bring 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!

You are a vital partner to every student, parent, teacher and youth worker touched through First Priority ministries. During our 2011 Victory Matching Challenge, your extra special gift of $25, $50, $75, $100 or even more will be twice as effective! Please consider sending your generous gift by December 31! Please let me hear from you soon! May God bless you this holiday season!

Thank you for your support,
