The Royal Ambassador program gives boys the opportunity not just to learn about missions but to become involved in hands-on missions as well. Children in grades 1-3 are Lads, and those in grades 4-6 are Crusaders. At First Baptist Stanley, the RA's lead an annual can drive that provides assistance to the Food Ministry of the Greater Gaston Baptist Association.
The RA's theme verse is 2 Corinthians 5:20, 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." (NIV)
