This week we are highlighting Ashley Bell of First Priority North Alabama! "I grew up in a non-religious home where my only exposure to Christianity was a negative example of what it means to follow Christ. I struggled throughout my later elementary through high school years, and I had a void in my heart that I desperately wanted filled. When I was 16, a classmate invited me to church. Given my experience with Christianity, I said no, I was not interested in that! He asked me weekly. Finally, I gave him a yes (mostly to get him to stop asking).  Well, that Wednesday night program was a really sweet introduction to church life. I felt welcomed and had a sense of belonging, which led me to attend a Sunday morning youth group. Once worship started, I was overwhelmed and had to know more about Jesus and this youth group. On February 17th, 2002, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and was baptized in front of a loving and supportive congregation.   God used that one kid with enough chutzpah to invite a total stranger to church, and it saved my life. Because of that student's obedience, my children know the Lord, and God willing, their children will, too. One student made a generational change that started with just an invitation to church."

🎄 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5. Jesus is the light of the world, and He has called us to shine His light to others. Let’s be bold in sharing His love this Christmas! ✨

The Shine Bright Christmas Challenge is here! 🌟 This Christmas season, students are invited to shine the light of Christ to their peers by sharing His love, joy, and hope. How will you spread His message and make an impact on your campus? Let's light up the world together! #ShineBrightChallenge #HopeOfChrist
