What is Royal Ambassadors? The primary focus of the Royal Ambassador program (RAs) at PCBC is to help first through sixth grade boys know about the missions work of Southern Baptists around the world, and how each boy may have a personal role in missions throughout his life in his “own backyard” and beyond - to understand and be involved in God's mission to further His Kingdom. RAs at PCBC is comprised of Lads, 1 st – 3 rd Grade and Crusaders, 4 th – 6 th grade. Class time and activities are designed around boys’ interests so they can become excited about their life-time mission as an Ambassador for Christ. The RA Pledge provides a summary of the entire program.
Accomplishing the Task The RA program use character virtues related to the RA Pledge to teach commitment to God’s mission and to reinforce the promises of the Pledge. Components of the program include: Missions Projects, Character Virtue Studies, Missions Activities, Guest Missionary Speakers, Special Interest Activities/Events and Special Studies. RAs is led by Dads and other male church members. The ratio of RA Leaders to boys is about 1:5 with a minimum of two leaders per classroom. RAs meets at PCBC meet each Wednesday evening, following area school calendars from September through April. Missions Projects Boy-oriented Missions Projects are ways of reaching persons with special needs through activities our RAs can do. By applying the RA Motto, “We are Ambassadors for Christ,” to mission activities, boys grow in their commitment to missions and mature in their Christian experience. In our desire to teach RAs to DO Missions, we plan many projects to involve them in how to be a missionary in their own city. Mission projects may include collection of items such as school or hygienic supplies for local organizations; underwear for Buckner orphans; canned food for Brother Bill’s, etc. Items that are collected for RAs need to be brought to the RA classroom by the due date. These items are collected from RAs and distributed to the various ministries. We also provide many in-class mission projects such as stuffing Easter Eggs for a local Easter egg hunt, putting bible verse labels on bottled water or detergent packages, making gifts for PCBC homebound members, etc. RA’s also have the opportunity to give of their time with family projects such as sorting shoes at Buckner, organizing Brother Bill’s food pantry, RA Car Wash and Hoops for Missions. We hope you will encourage your RA to be truly involved in these projects. Encourage him to earn and then use some of his own money to purchase the requested items. Take your son to the store to purchase these items. His participation in purchases, attendance in class and at various family mission projects will help him learn to work with others and help him understand the great needs in our world. Character Virtue Studies and Missions Activities Class time is spent learning about the character virtue with magazine stories of current real-life missionary that emphasize the usefulness of that virtue in growing God’s kingdom. RAs learn bible verses associated with each virtue and play games to memorize the verse. Missions activities and games lend a fun way to reinforce the virtue. For example, during the study of teamwork, team games and group projects will be done. There are 2 virtue sets – one for Lads and one for Crusaders. Each virtue set includes 5 character virtues which are detailed above with the pledge.
