 Who
Are Royal Ambassadors?
“Therefore, we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through
us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
– 2 Corinthians 5:20
Royal Ambassadors (RA’s) is a program for boys in grades
1-6 designed to provide missions education. The RA’s at Enon
meet weekly on Wednesday night at 7pm. In these meetings boys
have opportunity to fellowship with one another, make new
friends, and most importantly, learn how the message of Christ
is carried around the world. In addition to meeting on Wednesday
nights, RA’s are afforded opportunities to participate in
mission projects that aid in the sharing of the gospel both near
and far. Some boys also choose to attend Camp
McCall (South Carolina’s RA Camp) in the summer where they
are challenged to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually.
In a day when the church is desperately searching for faithful
men to lead in the cause of the gospel, RA’s gives us the
perfect opportunity to mentor and develop the future leaders of
homes, churches, and communities.
In RA’s the boys are equipped, encouraged, and empowered
to become men of God who sincerely desire to know Christ and
make Him known.
Why The Name Royal Ambassadors?
The RA Motto, "We are Ambassadors for Christ," not
only gives the organization its name, but also gives the boys
and leaders a lifestyle goal. This motto is taken from
Scripture, specifically 2 Corinthians 5:20.
The Scripture passage 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 describes the
purpose of Royal Ambassadors. While the RA motto is found in
verse 20, the other verses sum up Paul's declaration of why we
need to be ambassadors for Christ.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is
a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this
is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's
sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of
reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as
though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you
on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.—2 Corinthians
5-20.
