Hear, Hear! #3

Have you ever thought of being part of Royal Rangers? A church based ministry that trains future leaders through outdoor activities. Many of us might not be interested at first but you'll slowly find it intriguing to know that there is such a thing going on in church. We should try attending it for at least once to have the experience by participating in camps or any competition such as Cookarama organised by Royal Rangers. As the elders say that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, we should give it a chance and who knows! You might just want to continue on your journey in the Royal Rangers ministry.

Want to know how a person that has been impacted by Royal Rangers is living his or her life now? Let’s just say I will share mine.

Being an Expedition Ranger in Selangor#6, meetings will be held every Sunday after service after an hour of lunch break. It was kinda hard to follow up as an Expedition Ranger initially while others had gone through Ranger Kids, Discovery Ranger and the Adventure Ranger path, but I have no regrets starting out as an Expedition Ranger because there are commanders and friends accompanying me along the way. Moreover, I had my first camp which is our Outpost Camp for the year 2014. It was an awesome and knowledgeable camp learning different knots and how to use them to build benches and even a kitchen! There were two patrols which were given a project to accomplish as soon as possible. The patrol that I am in was asked to build a kitchen. It was hard at first to actually use strength to tighten the knots and was hurtful as well although we had gloves on! (jut rope). Although it was unsuccessful the first day, we managed to get it done on day two through teamwork and strong determination. Putting the project time aside, leisure time was also given for us to enjoy games and the swimming pool. It was fun to have games such as tug-a-war and water polo! At the end of the camp, I felt really heavy hearted to leave the fun and get back to 'reality'. Thereafter, we were told to write a short testimony to be shared during the next meeting. Trust me, it was hard to keep it short since it was a long camp filled with fun and great experiences. A point to note, I learnt that being caution is a key to avoid sunburn after building projects under the sun for the whole day and bruises from the wood used for the project! Nevertheless, it was an amazing first camp as an Expedition Ranger :)

Besides Outpost Camp, there are many more camps happening every year and it’s open to every Royal Rangers outpost all over Malaysia and even to you who may not be in Royal Rangers yet. So far I've participated in the 1st Central District Ranger Kids Camp and 4th Central District Pow Wow Malaysia. Want to know more about Royal Rangers? You are most welcome to attend with us every Sunday at 1.30pm!



The objective of the Royal Rangers ministry is to REACH, TEACH and KEEP boys and girls for Christ. Ranger Brocky here is one of the many testimonies of that exact objective that we aim to achieve week in and week out. Selangor #6 is so blessed to have you in our big family Brocky! And it's been our privilege to see you grow. Our prayer for you is that you will continue to  keep that faith and be that living testimony of God's faithfulness! Here's to many more years ahead in the Royal Rangers ministry (:


Cheers!
