Royal Ambassadors

Royal Ambassadors reaches boys for Christ and leads them to become Ambassadors for Christ through commitments (developing biblical character) and virtues (living the on-mission lifestyle of the Royal Ambassador Pledge). RAs is a Bible-centered, church-related, mission education organization for boys in first through sixth grades, sponsored by the North American Mission Board, an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Royal Ambassadors:

• Gets men involved with boys in a mentoring context. It has been said that Christianity is more caught than taught. There is tremendous spiritual potential in men having a regular weekly time of spiritual training with boys.
  
• Leads boys to become followers of Christ. RAs helps boys see their need and the world's need for a Savior. They hear the plan of salvation and have opportunities to respond. They also hear how missionaries carry the gospel around the world and how they are part of that task.
  
• Encourages an on-mission lifestyle. As boys are involved in projects, events, and personal study, they learn what it means to be on mission with God. Participation helps them discover ways they can be lay missionaries now.
  
• Allows customization and flexibility. RA materials can be adapted and customized to fit the needs of the church and boys. RAs can be done:
   
  . . . with fathers helping their sons to develop godly character.
  . . . as a church-based organization for boys.
  . . . by churches needing a customized approach to reach more boys for Christ.
  
• Provides spiritual growth for men involved. Nothing catalyzes the growth of men and fathers like leading. They will learn, be challenged in their own relationship with Christ, and be more conscious of the example they are setting for young men.
