I can’t say enough what First Priority has done for my 15 yr old; and hopefully will continue to influence the 3 kids following her! She began attending meetings as soon as she was able, inviting friends to come along – one morning we invited so many they would not fit in my car, and as my minivan was in the shop, I took the 22 ft RV through the carline at 7:30 AM in order to drop off 8 kids for a FP meeting!
One of our neighbors who didn’t want to ride the bus attended with us in the mornings, and forged a previously neglected friendship, enabling that girl to attend church and retreats with us, where she also invited her friends. Because of these friendships, 3 girls gave their lives to Christ, and my daughter has a new, dependable sister in Christ who encourages her on her walk.
It wasn’t until 9th grade that she got involved in the Leadership of FP – and in doing that, realized that even more so, her walk needed to match her talk. She faces mistakes head-on, but her walk with Christ is alive and thriving, with the Holy Spirit keeping her honest. I am grateful for the influence this group has had, and will continue to have in her life!
