The 2009 National Royal Rangers Council began with me attending the new National Directors round table. Yes, that is what we are being called now - District Commanders now have the title of "district director". Some of the key note speakers were Doug Marsh - national RR director, Harry Hunt - newly elected council president and the Assistant General Superintendent for the Assemblies of God Alton Garrison. Not pictured was also a visit for the Assemblies of God top man Rev. George Wood. All of these guys were highly encouraging to us all.
The next day found about 400 organizational leaders from all over the country together learning about the great dynamics taking place to implement all the improvements in our mission to evangelize, equip, and empower the next generation of boys. One of the key concepts is that Royal Rangers is a MENtoRRing ministry. We carry out our purpose through interacting with and dynamically coming into the world of a boy in a way that will cause them to want to come into adulthood as a godly man who loves his Lord.
The theme of the silver eagle celebration was "our heroes". We had a lot of fun as district directors who were caped with our red hero shield and mantled with our black mask.
Rev. Doug Clay challenged us at the silver eagle celebration with his moving testimony of how as a boy whose father died when he was 9 felt sorry for the other boys who had only one father, because his Royal Rangers leaders helped him learn what it meant to be loved by God.
