Royal Rangers is a principal ministry of the

Assemblies of God focused on discipling boys

for Jesus Christ. We provide Christ-like char-

acter formation and servant leadership devel-

opment for boys and young men in a highly

relational and fun environment. Our mission is

to evangelize, equip and empower the next

generation of Christ-like men and lifelong

servant leaders.

The Potomac District administrative region of

the General Council of the Assemblies of God

takes in Washington, D.C., Maryland, most of

Virginia and northern West Virginia. Over 100

churches throughout this region currently

provide Royal Ranger ministry to more than

2,500 boys and young men. We use many

tools to achieve that goal whether it be camp-

ing, merits or interactive skills, all designed to

help develop a boy into a man while having fun

and getting to know God.

We want to develop both men and boys in

mentoring relationships and leadership skills,

and guide them to Jesus Christ. We reach

boys, so they may reach another in their

world.

By Rev. Bobby Basham

District Director

T he beginning of each New Year holds a fascinating potential for all of us. It is a chance to start fresh with renewed commitment and energies. I am not one for

New Year’s resolutions since too many start out well-intentioned but are often either too lofty for a complete fol-low through, or are things that we should not be waiting for the page in calendar to turn before we pursue. Nevertheless, a chance to start with a clean slate is certainly appealing. I do think much about the potential aspect of the New Year and about do-ing things with a bit more purpose than last year. I do want to make pray-er more of a priority in my own life. I do want to see this ministry reach more boys and men than last year. I do yearn to see the lives of young men changed with each of our events, when God col-lides fun with the spiritual truth. Leaders and young men, I urge us all to look forward to the wonderful things God has for our lives. I urge us to pur-sue Jesus with reckless abandonment, and I encourage us all to stay close to the cross in our personal lives knowing what happens in private will affect what we do publically. Let’s not look at what could have been last year, but let’s forge ahead to see and do great things for our God in 2014! To all our leaders, please pray for us as we gather for our annual staff meeting the first week of February, that God will enable us to do all we can to advance this ministry for-ward. Also please think about attending the Northeast Region Commanders’ Conference at the end of January, since we are not having a district conference and it is much closer to our district than in the previous years. I encourage you to attend if you can. The Johnnie Barnes Initiative will be beneficial to all sectional and district leaders. It is the first time it has been offered on this level. Let’s have a Great year for God and for the young men we serve!

DIRECTOR’S MEMO


By Curtis Cooper

I have always encouraged my kids to be able to articulate their positions. Why do they believe what they do and can

they explain their beliefs? I knew I would have to articulate my posi-tion when we discussed video games. Yes, I could point to the mature rating and say he was not old enough, but I felt I really need-ed to explain my position for him.

WW II Problem

During World War II, statistics showed that only about 15-20 per-cent of riflemen fired their weap-ons at exposed enemy soldiers. Army psychologists concluded that it was not a natural inclination for a man to kill another human. After the war, the Army set out to find a way to train new re-

cruits to improve these statistics. There would be a significant change at the rifle range. Prior to and during World War II, soldiers would shoot on a standard bulls-eye target to ensure they could effectively fire their weapon. Post WWII, riflemen training changed to man-shaped pop-up targets that dropped when hit. This was called a “conditioned response” and is the current training for all modern combatants. 1

Conditioned Response

Army psychologists understood that implementing a target simu-lating a person, which dropped when hit, triggered something in the shooter’s brain. Sound famil-iar? Now let’s couple this “condi-tioned response” with a teen/pre-

SMS: Dad- can I play MW3?

(Modern Warfare 3 is a realis-

tic first-person shooter game.)

My Response: No-

I knew my 12-year-old son was

at a friend’s house for a

sleepover. I also knew that his

friend was an avid player of

first-person shooter games. I

knew I would get another re-

sponse back.

SMS: Why not? It doesn’t

look too bad-

My response: Said no, we can

discuss when you get home-

SMS: OK-

See RESPONSE, Page 5


monitor the amount of electronic media they are taking in. Media fasts can be a challenging and life-changing time for our boys. Royal Rangers is a great way of getting our boys away from electronic me-dia and out into God’s Creation. Issues around parenting can be a touchy subject, so I would encourage each parent to do their own research on this subject. How-ever, some things are too im-portant not to discuss. I am amazed at well-meaning parents who would never allow their boys to view pornography, and yet do not give a second thought to the effects of violent video games on them. Parents may be surprised (both positively and negatively) when you begin this conversation with your boys. Please don’t let the possible reaction deter you from having the talk with your sons. It will definitely be worth it. 1“Behavioral Psychology,” The Problem: A Re-

obsession-with-violent-video-games/

Author Curtis Cooper has served as a Royal Ranger leader for eight years, as senior commander with Outpost 365 at Bridge Community Church in Warrenton for the past five years. He has worked with Ranger Kids, Discovery Rangers and Adventure Rangers. He started his own real estate development and construction business 10 years ago, and was in law enforcement prior to that.

teen’s brain that is in the prime time of development. With condi-tioned response and a developing brain, let’s add the release of dopa-mine, a mood-regulating hormone, which is released when young people play video games.2 This media has been placed into a soci-ety where moral relativism is prevalent, where there is no God to sit in judgment, and where life has been devalued. Because these games are still relatively new, the statistical updates may play out in a devastating way over the next 10 to 20 years. Perhaps we are al-ready seeing the effects of violent games with the tragic incidents perpetrated by young men with the names of Harris and Klebold, Anders Breivik, Seung-Hui Cho, James Holmes, Jared Lee Lough-ner, and Adam Lanza, all of whom were heavy gamers3. Now, Curtis, you certainly are not saying that if my son plays video games he will become a cold-blooded killer, are you? No, of course I am not saying that. How-ever, to allow our kids to play these video games and believe that they have absolutely no effect on them is naïve at best. There is a

plethora of statistics showing just how many violent acts our chil-dren will view in life and media by the time they reach 18 years of age and the potential effects of their viewing. The numbers are astounding.

A Change of Heart

Numerous times in the New Testa-ment it is written that Jesus was moved by compassion and acted in love towards others. I could give a top 10 list of possible negative in-fluences of violent video game use. However, it is my fear that the greatest casualty of violent video games is compassion and empa-thy. If our young men cannot be spurred to compassion by the Holy Spirit, we have a serious founda-tional problem. Without compas-sion they will not care for a friend in need or share the Gospel with the lost. Hardness of heart does not happen in an instant. It is an insidi-ous, slowly creeping condition that deafens the ears and blinds the eyes of the heart over time.

Let’s Talk

With video game addiction on the rise, this should be an area of dis-cussion in families and in our Roy-al Ranger Outposts. I regularly challenge our Rangers to self-

Northeast Region Leaders Confer-ence at the Holiday Inn in Harris-burg, Pa. The conference schedule fea-tures something for every leader, including the Johnnie Barnes Ex-cellence Initiative (JBEI) seminar, which is designed especially for our organizational leaders serving on sectional and district staffs. Our goal is to help equip lead-ers from all over the Northeast Re-

Steve Schultz serves as the Na-tional Training Coordinator for Royal Rangers. He has been in Rangers since 1979 serving in many staff posi-tions and on numerous district and national training camps. John Wilson is a graduate of Northwest University in Kirkland, Wash., and he and his family have served as missionaries in Russia since 2001. He has a heart for reaching young people through Eurasia Royal Rangers and church planting in rural areas.

B oys and girls in the Nyan-darua District of Kenya re-ceived 75 Discovery Ranger

logbooks this summer. Their lead-ers received the weekly lessons plans for the age group bound in several quarterly books. National Commander Patrick Kawe (right photo, center) thanked BGMC for covering the $456 print-ing cost of these materials, and said that this district would never have been able to afford these ma-terials without BGMC’s help. And a special thank you to all the boys and girls in America who faithfully fill their Buddy Barrels and bring them to church each month to spread the gospel around the world! A special thanks to the follow-ing churches and families for your willingness to support our work in Africa! Your investment in the kingdom of God is making a dif-ference in the lives of literally thousands of boys and girls.

New Commitments:

Trinity AG—Lanham, Md. Wheeler Family—Fredericks-burg, Va.

Richters Family—Fredericks-burg, Va. Hill Family—Cincinnati, Ohio Wilson Family—Spokane, Wash.

Increased Support:

Churchland AG—Portsmouth, Va.

We are currently itinerating to raise support to enable us to get back to Africa as quickly as possi-ble. We still need to raise $750 in monthly support. If 15 more churches or individuals were to commit $50 per month, we would have the total amount raised.

T he requirements for Royal Rangers to earn the Gold Medal of Achievement

(GMA) have been updated. A Royal Ranger must be at least 12 years old to qualify for the GMA. All requirements for the GMA must be completed before the applicant’s 18th birthday. (Note: For boys already in Expedi-tion Rangers as of Fall 2013, this requirement may be waived until Dec. 31, 2014.) Recite from memory the Royal Rangers Pledge, Code, Motto, the meaning of the points of the Em-blem, and the Golden Rule. Be A Silver Medal recipient for at least 9 months, or be a graduate of the 7th grade. Be at least 12 years old. Serve in one or more leader-ship positions in Adventure Rang-ers for an additional 6 months, for a total of 12 months. Demonstrate the ability to pre-sent the plan of salvation to some-one. Read “A Guy’s Journey for Manhood” by Doug Marsh. Complete the GMA Capstone Project. Submit outline for an oral presentation. Appear before a district GMA Review Board. The oral presenta-tion will be given as part of the district interview.

Capstone Project

The Capstone Project requires that a GMA candidate read A Guy’s Journey for Manhood by Doug Marsh, answering all questions at the end of each chapter, keeping a journal and working with a project

coordinator. The book may be purchased through Gospel Pub-lishing House.

Oral Presentation

The GMA candidate will give an oral presentation to the district GMA Review Board. An outline of the oral presentation needs to be submitted prior to oral presenta-tion. Now that the boy has gone through the process of considering where God has brought him and has set some clear goals for where he believes the Lord is leading him, it’s now important to share what he has learned with others. This presentation can be the most beneficial part of this entire learn-ing process because it will help a young man to establish in his mind the path on which God is leading him. Deciding what to speak about may be tough for some young men. Commanders play a key role in guiding them through this pro-cess by explaining that they can use specific highlights from Royal Rangers or experiences that he has learned. The speech is not intend-ed to be an explanation of the code, pledge, motto etc., but should reflect the values and bene-fits received from his Ranger expe-rience and the lessons learned from the book A Guy’s Journey to Manhood. Once a young man has decid-ed on a topic it is important to cre-ate an outline. The outline will serve multiple purposes for each Ranger. It will be an excellent tool for gathering thoughts and formu-lating the organization of his oral presentation.

Uniform for GMA Interviews

Boys may wear either the Dress Khaki (Old Class B) uniform or full Royal Ranger Utility uni-form for their GMA interview. The full Utility uniform con-sists of blue tactical pants, black belt, black shoes and socks; utility shirt tucked in; pins (drape med-als), ribbons or patches; any white T-shirt under the Utility shirt; and the Royal Ranger leader’s bolo tie.

Revised GMA Packet

A Revised Senior Commander GMA Packet is available on Poto-mac District Royal Rangers web-site at www.potomacag.org/potomac_royal_rangers.asp. The packet reflects all new require-ments for earning the GMA and provides guidelines for the oral presentation and outline, along with required applications and suggestions for a GMA ceremony in the local church.
