I would like to invite you to support First Priority and come meet Javier from the new Sherwood Film Courageous, Robert Amaya, who will be our special guest speaker at our 18th Annual SCORE (Students Count On Real Examples) Dinner, Thursday, April 26, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. at Grace Life Baptist Church, 6200 Lou George Loop, Bessemer, AL, 35022. Sponsorships and seats for the dinner are still available.

Robert is a bilingual professional actor/singer in Miami with a background in theater. He felt humbled and honored playing his character in the movie Courageous because it reminded him of his own father's struggles to survive in a new country with a family. Robert has been privileged to perform regionally for classic productions such as "You Can't Take It With You" and "A Midsummer's Night Dream;" and for award-winning musicals the likes of "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon." He helped launch and organize "FamJamz," a family ministry based on the "Think Orange" concept where families are encouraged to worship together and parents are equipped to be more involved in their children's spiritual development.

Robert is married to his high school sweetheart, Colleen, who is also an actress and vocalist. He is the father of a young daughter, Sophia. He is the son of immigrant parents Roberto and Maria Amaya, who have previously been in full-time ministry. He has one sister, Arlene, who is an educator at a Christian elementary school.

Between projects, Robert travels across the nation singing and speaking at both English and Spanish churches, schools, and organizations about a variety of topics including fatherhood, honor and Christianity.

As you know, First Priority's vision is to touch the life of every student, on every campus, in every community with the love and message of Jesus Christ before graduating high school. Statistics show that 85 percent of all people who do not pray to receive Christ before the age of 18, never will. In 21 years of ministry, we continue to work as a campus ministry of the local church. We help multi-denominational teams of churches join hands and work together as one. The result? A positive impact for the Gospel in secondary and senior high schools in the Birmingham area. Together, with the support of local churches and businesses, we are encouraging our students to take a united stand for Christ. Please join us to learn more about the impact of First Priority and how you can continue your partnership with us to support this vital outreach.
