 What is 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-based mission education organization for boys in the first through sixth grades, sponsored by the North American Mission Board, an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention. Royal Ambassadors support the Cooperative Program and are an integral part of the program of a healthy church.

Benefits of Royal Ambassadors
- Gets Men Involved with Boys in a Mentoring Context - It has been said that Christianity is more caught than taught. The spiritual potential of men having a regular weekly time of spiritual training with boys is tremendous.
- Leads Boys to Become Followers of Christ - 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.
- 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 now be lay missionaries.
- Allows Customization and Flexibility - Royal Ambassador 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, or by churches needing a customized approach to reach more boys for Christ.
- Provides Spiritual Growth for Your Men - 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.
