I am a Pioneer Commander with 6 boys in my class. of those 6 boys, 1 does
not
attend church or sunday school at all. but he is the one boy i can
count on to be
at every one of the rr meetings. why? because, if we get nothing else
done with
our class time, we open and close with prayer, we talk about how God
has blessed
our lives, and we do a bible study. how do i know this you ask? because
when
this boy started in my rr class i could not get him to pay attention
to what i was
saying. last wednesday night, we had an impromptu discussion about
getting
baptized in the Holy Spirit. he did not budge. when class was over
he went and
asked the pastor how he could get baptized. now some would say this
is just
the curiosity of a boy getting "fired up". You would have to experience
this boy
as i have to know that just aint so. PRAY FELLAS! IT WORKS
In His Service

Why should a non Christian boy choose Royal Rangers
over Boy Scouts? That is a question that I need help answering.
Any thoughts? Good question Matthew.
Why would a Christian boy choose Rangers over Boy Scouts? Just because
it is Christian? Are we presenting a dynamic outpost meeting where
the boys can't wait for next week? If our meetings were not on a
church night (ours is on Wed.) how many of the boys would still come? I
am somewhat discouraged since the Pioneer and Trailblazer commanders do
not open in prayer (as they arrive right at 7:00, our starting time, or
a few minutes later), nor do they do a devotional since they have not planned
any aspect of the meeting. The boys are getting a half-baked scouting
program. This is really shameful since about half of the boys do
not attend church, period. We are the only Jesus they may see and
we have Him hidden. I have talked to the commanders and yet it is
the same old, same old. Discouraged in PA,Kelvin
