Opportunity Knocks! Count the beans in the jar and they add up to get it all done by 12! Royal Rangers needs to drop weight, forget boy leadership, Patrol system, FCF and High adventure and become a dynamic adult led effort to proagate the doctrine and goals of the Assemblies of God church. GMA at 12? No problem. FCF at 11 no worries. At 12 years old.. release them. The Ranger Pledge calls us to "Do OUR BEST- for GOD and the CHURCH and our fellow man" Royal Rangers meet's that goal by partnering with a boy in his forulative years. *Others must share him in ministry, mentorship and decipleship. We work for the WHOLE BOY! *Body-*Mind and *Spirit Doc After that I'm kind of confused.
