WELCOME TO THE ROYAL AMBASSADORS WEBSITE OF BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH

WHY THE NAME ROYAL AMBASSADORS?

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. 
The Scripture passage 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.
 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that 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. We 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.—2 Corinthians 5-20.

What are the Parts of the RA Emblem and their purposes?

• 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).
• The Shield
  The shield stands for faith in Christ (Ephesians 6:16). This symbol represents the journey of faith and a commitment to having faith in Christ.
• The Crown
  The crown stands for Christ the King and what He represents (James 1:12). As a follower and ambassador of Christ, we are to stay focused on Jesus and his message to the world.
• The Branch
  The branch is for achievement and victory in the work of being an Ambassador for Christ (Matthew 25:21). Combining skills and actions help accomplish the goal of carrying the gospel to people needing to hear it.
• The Colors
  Blue represents the boy's loyalty to Christ, His church, and each other.
  Gold represents the worth of the boy to God's mission.
  White represents purity of living, which makes him an effective ambassador.
