Royal Ambassadors

Purpose: 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; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses against them, and has committed to us the world of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:17-20 NKJV)

Motto: "We are Ambassadors for Christ," not only gives the organization its name, but also gives the boys and leaders a lifestyle goal.

Pledge: The RA pledge becomes the statement of commitment that holds the boys and leaers accountable to do their best as Royal Ambassadors each day.

The Pledge reads:
As a Royal Ambassador I will do my best:

• · to become a well-informed, responsible follower of Christ;
• · to have a Christ-like concern for all people;
• · to learn how the message of Christ is carried around the world;
• · to work with others in sharing Christ; and
• · to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body.
