The Royal Rangers
The Royal Rangers is the auxiliary of the Men’s Ministry. Its objective is to train the youth to grow up and take over the leadership mantle of our nation, society and church when the older generation is no more. We believe that how a person is brought up will affect his character and leadership qualities.
Hence, based on Proverbs 22:6 and Luke 2:52, the R.R. group aims at reaching out to all boys inside and outside the church, teaching them how to be effective leaders and providing them with avenues to explore their talents. Royal Rangers is a world-wide boys ministry designed to reach, teach and keep boys for Jesus Christ. It was created by the Assemblies of God in 1962, and has grown to more nations than ever imagined.
Our numbers keep growing daily! We are currently in more than 50 countries world wide
