Royal Ambassadors STARTER PACK
Why Missions Discipleship Is Important for Boys
As a high school senior, the primary outlet I used to explore my call to ministry was being the RA leader at our church. Teaching that small group of boys about missions helped me see I wanted to do this my entire life.” —Dr. Michael Cabel, assistant to the executive director for convention relations, Kentucky Baptist Convention
Now more than ever, the Church must commit to discipling boys as they follow Jesus and live on mission. By developing missions discipleship groups for boys, you create firsthand experiences that will mobilize them to live each day as ambassadors for Christ.
Through missions discipleship, boys will:
• develop a biblical worldview,
• explore ways to demonstrate the love of Christ
to others,
• discover how God is working around the
world,<
• learn they are a part of God’s plan, and
• have fun participating in activities specifically
geared for boys.

What is Royal Ambassadors?
Royal Ambassadors (RA) is a missions discipleship group for boys in grades 1–6.
RA provides an opportunity for boys to grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and relationally with others through missions involvement and character development.
The purpose of RA is to lead boys to:
• become well-informed, responsible followers of Christ,
• have a Christlike concern for all people,
• learn how to carry the message of Christ around the world,
• work with others in sharing Christ, and
• keep themselves clean and healthy in mind and body.
