The Church of God’s Pathway Press and Resource Center, as well as the ministry of Youth and Discipleship, have announced the launch of a new boy’s ministry program resource in partnership with the Royal Rangers.
“Pathway has released an exciting boy’s ministry resource catalog that will help church leaders start an effective mentoring ministry for the next generation of men in America,” stated Terrance Hart, general director at Pathway. “We are thrilled that for the first time, Church of God local churches will be able to charter their boy’s ministry utilizing the Royal Rangers curriculum.” A new catalog, available through Pathway, provides everything needed to launch a new boy’s ministry.
“When you leaf through these pages, you’ll discover how simple, flexible, and effective Royal Rangers can be,” stated David Ray, administrative assistant at Pathway. Ray expounded on the explanation by stating that the Royal Rangers curriculum is 1) Simple: Royal Rangers’ print and web-based resources will help you mobilize, inspire, and resource the men in your congregation to mentor next generation men and leaders, 2) Flexible: Royal Rangers’ mentoring journey will complement the outreach and discipleship vision of your church and 3) Effective: Royal Rangers inspires boys and young men with a code to live by, a challenge to conquer, a cause to serve, and a place to belong.
“If we are to have strong Christian men in our churches we must raise up and mentor our boys and young men,” Ray continued. “Manhood is not taught, it is bestowed on boys and young men by their fathers and by the community of men with which they associate. It happens as they do life together. There has never been a greater need in America today than for godly fathers and churchmen to mentor future generations.”
As an introductory special, every Church of God congregation will receive 5% off the listed Royal Ranger price for materials ordered through Pathway Press & Resource Center (effective January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011).
