Royal Ambassadors
New Insight Baptist Church operates a Christian mentorship program for boys called the Royal Ambassadors. RA for shorts. NIBC RA is part of a Baptist worldwide missionary organization for boys between the ages of 10 and 35. Founded in 1909 on the principle that “it is easy to mould boys than to mend men” RA is guided by the words of 2 Corinthians 5:20: We are ambassadors for Christ. The organization in Nigeria is called Royal Ambassadors of Nigeria (RAN), so named by the Nigerian Baptist Convention.
