Dear Christian Believers,

Greetings and God bless you in the name of our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ.

YES! 2002 Youth camp was a powerful week for every one involved and I believe one that will not be forgotten. There were some miraculous healings during camp. One young man was delivered from a stuttering problem. Another youth’s ear drum was healed. Still, another girl was starting to get a migraine headache during one of the teachings when the girl next to her prayed for her and the headache was gone immediately. There were things like this happening all over the camp throughout the week. The youth became witnesses of the power of God in action and were excelling spiritually as Ambassadors for Christ.

On July 14th 1 had the privilege of teaching at a “Day in the Word” in New Jersey. Our theme was the same as Youth Camp, “Ambassadors for Christ.”

II Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

When we confessed with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believed in our heart that God had raised him from the dead as it says in Romans 10:9, we received salvation, we became Sons of God, and we became ambassadors for Christ. The process that follows is to learn what these things mean. What do I do with my salvation? What do I do as a son of God? What do 1 do as an ambassador for Christ? Jesus told his disciples Just before he ascended into heaven in Matthew 28:19a ... “GO YE, therefore, and teach the nations;” in Mark 16:15 ... “GO YE into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature;” in Luke 24:47 ... “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in the name his name among all nations;” and in Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and You shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Ambassadors for Christ have been given the MESSAGE of the gospel of Jesus Christ, his accomplishments, his death, his resurrection, his ascension, and what all this means to those that believe. Ambassadors for Christ have been assigned the MISSION of delivering his MESSAGE to every creature of every nation upon the entire earth. In the gospels, when Jesus sent out the 12 and the 70 to prepare the people for his coming to their cities it says, Jesus gave them power to heal the sick, to cleanse the lepers, and to cast out devil spirits. He gave them the right and the might to go as ambassadors before him. GOD gave Jesus the right and the might to complete his mission and HE has given us the same to complete our mission as ambassadors for Christ.

For many of the youth of YES! 2002, they learned for the first time, about being ambassadors for Christ. When I was in New Jersey many or most of the people I taught already knew they were ambassadors for Christ, they knew the message, and they knew the mission. For them it was a REMINDER. Sometimes believers get pressured or pleasured out of fulfilling God’s call of BEING or FUNCTIONING as an Ambassador. I don’t know of any Believers that readily forget that they are sons of God, but far too many FORGET that they’ve been called to be AMBASSADORS for Christ, and that’s not right. Jesus told his disciples that they were the lights of the world. Well, guess what? NOW we are the lights of this world, and NOW is our time to shine. NOW is our time to reflect the truth and light of God’s Word, the gospel of Jesus Christ. NOW is our time to make known the MESSAGE of deliverance and salvation though our Lord Jesus Christ. REMEMBER who you are, and REMEMBER your calling. At the end of our lifetime, let it be said of you, and I; “They were a FAITHFUL Ambassador for Christ.” To faithfully function as an ambassador is to be in the way of Christ.
(Look what Paul wrote to the Corinthians in)

I Corinthians 4:17
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach everywhere in the church.

Lovingly reminding you, you’re fellow Ambassador for Christ;
