Priority Parent November 2010 eUpdate

Just talked to the Faculty Sponsor of FP at Chuckey-Doak Middle. They are one of the two formerly "nomadic" ministries that were trained last month and just held their first Hook Week during Kah-riss (7 responses).

Yesterday, they had the girls basketball team attend their meeting...something their b'ball coach has not allowed in years. Coach said that it must be important to her players, so she is now giving them 30 minutes off to attend.

Also, they held their second Focus Week yesterday, and a Senior from the High School gave his testimony before small group time. An 8th grader approached the senior and began asking questions. Before the meeting was over, the 8th grader gave his life to Christ.

Faculty Sponsor was "surprised" at a salvation outside of Hook Week. I told her that when FP's purpose is evangelism, God will honor that at all times...not just on Hook Week. She now understands that Hook Week is only one plan for the gospel to be shared on campus!

Soli Deo Gloria,

Bottenfield Middle School Exciting Update B'ham AL

Students at Bottenfield Middle School are hungry to know and live for Christ daily. They are praying more and giving testimonies about how God is moving in their school in mighty ways. Bottenfield's First Priority Campus Club is growing every week with nearly 100 students in attendance right now. On Oct. 28, 2010, three students prayed the prayer to accept Christ into their lives for the first time. Wow! We serve a great and holy God.

Every week this campus club is an adventure. You might see a stomp dance or even hear a song sung by students. Club meetings should never be boring. Students like involvement. And, the key for a successful club is students reaching students with the love and message of Jesus Christ. Student involvement will always breed a healthy campus ministry.

I would like to give a special thanks to Bottenfield Middle School's Campus Coaches Debbie Marshall and Tyrone Fox for their dedication to inspiring students to live for Christ daily. They are showing us how the First Priority Campus Ministry continues to make a huge impact when students have ownership.

"Students are standing up and wanting people to know they love God," said Debbie. "It is truly amazing to see how God is moving on this campus."
