Royal Ambassadors

A Royal Ambassador (RA) is a boy in grades 1-6 committed to living out the RA Pledge. 

Royal Ambassador Pledge:   As a Royal Ambassador I will do my best.. To become a well-informed responsible follower of Christ; to have a Christlike concern for all people; to learn how to carry the message of Christ around the world; to work with others in sharing Christ, and to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body

 

This pledge is part of personal and chapter (group of RAs) accountability.

What is the Royal Ambassador Organization?

Royal Ambassadors (RAs) is a Bible-centered, church-based, Southern Baptist mission education organization for boys

in grades 1-6.

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, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Now everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ; certain that God is appealing through us, we plead on Christ's behalf, 'Be reconciled to God.'" (2 Cor. 5:17-20, HCSB)

 

What are the Parts of the RA Emblem and their purposes?

The Words RA—Royal Ambassadors
An ambassador is a representative in a court or nation other than his own. Royal Ambassadors are representatives of Christ the King bringing good news 

of salvation to people everywhere. The RA Motto reads, "We are Ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor. 5:20, HCSB).

The Shield
The shield stands for faith in Christ (see Eph. 6:16). This symbol represents the journey of faith and a commitment to having faith in Christ.

The Crown
The crown stands for Christ the King and what He represents (see Jas. 1:12). As a follower and ambassador of Christ, we are to stay focused on Jesus and His message to the world.

The Branch
The branch is for achievement and victory in the work of being an Ambassador for Christ (see Matt. 25:21). Combining skills and actions help accomplish the goal 

of carrying the gospel to people needing to hear it.

The Colors
Blue represents the boy's loyalty to Christ, His church, and each other.
Gold represents the worth of the boy to God's mission.
White represents purity of living, which makes him an effective ambassador

Focus on Missions with Preschoolers

In guiding preschoolers to discover the joy of missions, concentrate on these six missions focus areas.

Learn about missions
Preschoolers learn about people who need to know Jesus, and how missionaries tell others about Jesus.

Pray for missions
Preschoolers begin praying for missions as they hear missionary prayer requests and the needs of others. Preschoolers learn they can talk to God any time, anywhere.

Engage in mission action and witnessing
Preschoolers help others by making something, giving something, or doing something kind for others. Preschoolers are not involved in “witnessing” to others, but learn that the Bible says to tell others about Jesus.

Support missions
Preschoolers give to missions through cooperative missions giving and special missions offerings. They encourage missionaries through praying and sending messages, notes, or items collected.

Develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle
Preschoolers develop a heart for missions as they learn what the Bible says about Jesus’s love for all people. Preschoolers develop a concern for others as they are involved in helping people in need.

Participate in the work of the church and denomination
Preschoolers learn what their church does to tell others about Jesus, and how churches work together to tell people in my community, nation, and world about God’s love.
