A ROYAL AMBASSADOR (RA) is a boy in grades 1 - 6
committed to living out the RA Pledge. This pledge is part of a personal and chapter accountability.
ROYAL AMBASSADORS is a Bible-centered, church-based
Southern Baptist mission education organization for boys in
grades 1 - 6.
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, "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 toGod.'" (2 Corinthians 5:17-20 HCSB)
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 Corinthians 5:20 HCSB)
THE COLORS:
BLUE represents loyalty to Christ, His church and each other.
GOLD represents the worth to God's mission.
WHITE represents purity of living, which makes an effective ambassador.
