Royal Ambassadors is a Bible-centered, church-based, Southern Baptist, mission education organization
for boys in grades 1-6.
A Royal Ambassador is a boy in grades 1-6 committed to living out the RA Pledge. This pledge is part of personal and chapter (group of RAs) accountability.
The Name "Royal Ambassadors"
Where did we get the name "Royal Ambassadors"? 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.
2 Corinthians 5
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave
us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's
sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20We are therefore Christ's ambassadors,
as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
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.
