EVANGELISM EXPLOSION
What is the purpose of EE?
To glorify God by equipping the body of Christ for friendship, evangelism, discipleship and healthy Christian growth
His Last Command Is Our First Concern!
Evangelism Explosion (EE) equips people to effectively share a simple and clear Gospel presentation using Bible verses and illustrations. The ineperienced and perhaps fearful gain confidence as they go with, watch, and learn from more experienced trainers. This method has proven effective in training thousands and winning millionss of people to Christ every year!
Through EE, a church can be transformed as members become more focused toward evangelism by praying for the lost, visiting their church visitors, and gaining boldness in sharing their faith in everyday life!
A new class will be starting soon. If you would like more information on this valuable witnessing aid, please contact us here at Baptist Temple.

ROYAL AMBASSADORS
Royal Ambassadors (RAs) is a mission-oriented class for boys 1st through 6th grade that meets on Wednesday nights at 7. In RAs the boys have a pledge which sums up the main goals of RAs. The pledge is as follows:
"As a Royal Ambassador I will do my best:
to become a well informed responsible follower of Christ;
to have a Christ like concern for all people;
to learn how the message of Christ is carried around the world;
to work with others in sharing Christ;
and to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body."
In order to be a well informed, responsible follower of Christ, the first priority in RAs is to make sure that every member understands who Christ is and how to become a Christian. There is a strong emphasis on the plan of salvation and the life of Jesus Christ. Every class meeting we have a biblestudy and a review of how to become a Christian. In fact, every RA magazine has the plan of salvation on the first page. Every week the boys work in their RA magazines, which includes stories about missionaries, prayer requests for missionaries and other RAs, memory verses, games, puzzles, and mission activities. In addition to the bible study and the RA magazines, the RAs work on memorizing bible verses and have a special time of prayer each week. We discuss ways in which we and missionaries around the world may and do share the good news of Jesus Christ with our world. It is our goal to be more and more like Christ every day, to seek His will, and to be obedient.
