No doubt about it!! The focus is still to Reach, Teach, and Keep boys for
Christ. There has got to be a balance in this program/ministry and if you
carefully examine the curriculum, there is that balance (Mental, Social,
Physical, and Spiritual development). I didn't hear anyone saying that the
GMA is preeminent in Royal Rangers. At the NJ Royal Rangers Advancement
Academy, the staff works with boys to earn their GMA but their motivation and
focus is on spiritual matters. We rejoice when boys give their hearts to the
Lord Jesus Christ. We rejoice when boys are baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Since the inception of NJ's RRAA (4 yrs now), there were 110 saved and 56
baptized in the Holy Spirit.
