Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Enlisting Leaders

 

How Do I Enlist Leaders?

Committed leadership is one of the most important parts of the Royal Ambassador organization. Recruiting and cultivating leaders is a very important aspect to establishing and maintaining a dynamic Royal Ambassador program. When a person makes a commitment to become a Royal Ambassador leader, it is important that they receive training before they begin their responsibilities. Training opportunities for leaders are available through self-studies, associational training events and regional training events, in addition to Leadership Training Camp each year. Contact the state office concerning training opportunities at (214) 828-5354 or email keith.mack@texasbaptistmen.org.

 

Proven Method of Enlisting Leaders

  1. Begin praying about whom God has been preparing to serve as a mission education leader in your church.

  2. Ask God to guide you in creating a list of persons who would make good Challenger leaders.

  3. Prayerfully prioritize the list in the order you believe to be the best qualified to serve as a mission education leader.

  4. Schedule a time when you can meet with the first person on your list. Tell them you have been praying about them and that you believe they would make a good mission education leader. Give them a brief explanation about what the Challenger program is about (mission education) and what their responsibilities would entail (Challenger Leader Job Description). Ask them to pray about their involvement and give you an answer after they have prayed about the matter. Do not accept a yes or no at this time until they have prayed about becoming a leader. Assure them that you will provide training for them before they begin meeting with the young men. Let them know you will be praying for them as they pray about this important matter and that you will be checking back with them at a later date. When God calls a leader, they will remain a committed leader. When we enlist leaders they blossom for a short while then they will fade away.

  5. Pray for the person as they prayerfully seek God’s leadership. Check back with the person after several weeks.

  6. After they have made a prayerful commitment to become a mission education leader, schedule a time to provide training for their position. Training opportunities range from self-training to formal training events. After basic training, they can gain experience by working with established leaders.

  7. Schedule monthly opportunities for leaders to meet together for planning, support, and fellowship.
