POTOMAC DISTRICT ROYAL RANGERS www.potomacrangers.org

Royal Rangers is a principal ministry of the As-

semblies of God focused on discipling boys for

Jesus Christ. We provide Christ-like character

formation and servant leadership development

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 pro-

vide Royal Ranger ministry to more than 2,500

boys and young men. We use many tools to

achieve that goal whether it be camping, 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 men-

toring relationships and leadership skills, and

guide them to Jesus Christ. We reach boys, so

they may reach another in their world.

A Season for Everything By Rev. Bobby Basham

E cclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “There is an occasion for every-thing and time for every activity under heaven.” None of us

expected Bob Blessing to receive a much-deserved promotion at work, and both of us anticipated he would be District Director for at least the next six years. But God has other plans for him and for us. Bob has worked tirelessly and seamlessly with me in guiding and leading this ministry. I will miss him, and his heart for you, tremendously. Bob will also be helping us as much as he can from a distance with his added work responsibilities, but don’t be surprised if you see him along with me at Pow Wow and JLTA! I have asked Bob to remain engaged as much as he can, and I value his insight and experience. Yet, as we all know, God is always in full control and furthermore knows what is best for all of us! So, we trust him in all things. By now you should have also been informed of significant date changes relative to JLTA and Pow Wow. I apologize for having to do that, but our fellowship changed the dates of their biannual meeting that affects most of our pastors and anyone who participates in our National Fine Arts. I have come to realize that many have set significant family activities and when we change a date like Pow Wow it has a domino affect and can create conflict and I apologize for that and will do my very best to hold to the dates we publish, yet some things are clearly out my control. Please bear with me as I reassume all duties as District Di-rector. I will need some grace and help to make sure we miss nothing and move forward. I am never one who only wants to maintain. We must move this ministry forward and I will do all I can to provide the leadership necessary to facilitate that end. I will need the help and encouragement of many others. Our staff, other Ranger leaders and our young men are all go-ing to be needed and engaged to reach the next generation of young men. I invite and hope you will join me on that journey, to reach as many boys as we can, and to see them grow in Christ to a level where they influence their friends to become followers of Jesus Christ. As we think about the holiday season, I urge you to please take some time to rest, spend time with your family, contem-plate our Savior and what His coming means to us and what it cost him. I greatly appreciate each one of our leaders and hon-or your sacrifice in this ministry. Many of you, like me, are involved in other ministries as well as Rangers, but I am so honored you choose to continue to serve in this ministry. Thank you.


By Bill Chestnut

T wenty years ago an Assem-blies of God missionary, Rev. Tim Anderson, re-

ceived an invitation to go to a small village in the Amazon rain-forest, Kusutka, along the Pastaza River, and present the Good News. Rev. Tim answered the call and with God’s help began the first work there among the Shuar peo-ple. Soon there was a permanent church, and they began to evange-lize their neighboring villages. As people in these new villages began to accept Jesus, it would not be long before Rev. Tim would be asked to come and establish a church in their village. Just as be-fore, he would answer the call; a church would be established, lead-ers trained, and they would begin to evangelize the neighboring vil-lages. Early in this process, the Blue Ridge Chapter sponsored a couple of Pathfinder mission trips to Kusutka. On these early trips, they worked on school buildings which

would play a key role in evangelizing the neighbor-ing villages. The children who attended the school were not just from Kusutka but from many of the sur-rounding villages. Along with getting an education, these children were also being exposed to the Gos-pel which they took with them when they returned to their home villages. But this was not the on-ly fingerprint of the Poto-mac District upon this work to the Shuar. As these jungle churches were established, they were in des-perate need of doctrinally ground-ed leaders. Many of these new church leaders attended the Bible college in Riobamba, Ecuador. This college, by God’s design, was constructed with the help of quite a few mission teams from the Po-tomac District under the direction of Rev. Allen Martin. In 2013, thirteen years after their first trip to Kusutka, Blue Ridge Chapter Pathfinders re-turned to add a second story to an

existing building to be used to reach the children surrounding Kusutka. It’s amazing to see how God has taken this work from such humble beginnings and grown it into the work that it is today. Once again this year, the Blue Ridge Chapter Pathfinders en-gaged in helping to reach the Shuar people. On Feb. 10, a team of 14 men departed from Balti-more-Washington International Airport on a mission trip to the village of Kumay, Ecuador. Ku-may is a small village that is situ-

While Walt was great to work with during the day, it was his wife Sindi who made the trip one of the most memorable. Sindi with the help of different people from the village prepared our meals. The food was amazing. Many times it was better than other trips that I have been on where we ate our meals at restaurants. She was tireless in her efforts to keep us fed, hydrated and happy. Without her, I don’t believe our week on the jungle would have been nearly as pleasant. The work we would be doing the week we were there would consist mainly of laying brick, do-ing the prep work for and pouring of the concrete floor. We divided into teams and set about to see how much we could accomplish in the time that we had. Most of the week things went very smoothly. But as with every job, we did encounter our chal-lenges. The first and probably the largest obstacle to overcome was water. There is no convenient wa-ter supply in the village. Most of the villagers gather their water from small streams close by, but for us that was not really an op-

ated along the Pastaza river on the far western edge of the Amazon rainforest. After almost seven hours of plane travel and around eight hours of travel on a chartered bus, the team finally arrived in the village close to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11. As a veteran of many Pathfind-er trips I can say that each one has its own special circumstances, challenges and rewards. This trip was not to be an exception. The first unique circumstance was the beautiful bunkhouse that was to be our lodging for the week. The next extremely pleasant surprise were our host and hostess, Walt and Sindi Pafford. Walt was there to serve as the project manager, en-suring that the job was on sched-ule and within budget, also jump-ing to do some of the work when-ever he was needed. Walt’s insight and construction experience would be invaluable to us during the week we were there. He kept us on task, encouraging with his positive outlook and unique problem solving abilities. Walt helped to make this one of the easiest jobs I have ever worked on the mission field.

tion. The large amount of water that we would need was to be hauled in barrels in the back of a pickup truck from the river two miles away, which coincidentally was where we would need to go to bathe in the evenings. During the week, we used more than 2,000 liters of water, making hauling water a full time job for some of the nationals who worked with us. Another challenge was the rain. It had a greater effect on the bricklaying crew than it did on the concrete crew. The brick we laid were not under the roofing that had been installed while the concrete was covered pretty well. The guys who get a special “shout out” are the men who mixed the mortar and concrete and those who delivered it in wheelbarrows to the required areas. These guys worked when it was dry and when it was raining; they started before everyone else and were usually not finished and cleaned up until the other crews were done. This team was a good mix of veteran and first timers, and the sense of unity was amazing. It didn’t take long for each to find his niche and progress was not long to follow. By the time we reached the end of the week, we had laid over 2,000 brick, approximately 20 yards of concrete, and I can’t even venture how many tons of fill material was moved. All in all it was a great week where the work was concerned. But work is not the only rea-son the we go on these trips. Dur-ing the church services, we expe-rienced the hand of God at work. At the Sunday night service, we heard the testimony of a man who was a teacher at the local

T o All the Royal Ranger Leaders and boys of the Potomac District. If you have not already heard, I

am stepping down as the Royal Rangers Potomac District Director. I have accepted an offer from the company I work for to transfer to Atlanta, Georgia. My wife Bonnie and I will be relocating as soon as our house sells. I will be keeping in touch and working behind the scenes with Pastor Bobby Basham to assist and sup-port him in running Potomac District Royal Rangers. It has been a pleasure working beside the Execu-tive and District Staff. They are men called by God to lead and inspire the next generation of Christian lead-ers for the Potomac District.

I started my tenure in Royal Rangers in 1997. I have some very fond memories of Pow Wows, JLTA camps, Area Pow Wows and outpost campouts. I will cher-ish them all. It has been my pleasure to serve as your District Director. As I depart the district, remember the Potomac District Royal Ranger Creed: “I am a Royal Ranger. I am a servant and live by the Ranger Code. I will always place God first. I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit. I am disciplined; physically, spiritu-ally, mentally and socially. I will always maintain a clean mind and body. I am a guardian of God’s word. I am proud to be a Christian. I am humbled by my Savior. I am a Royal Ranger.” These are words I will continue to live my life by and encourage all of you to do the same. May God continue to richly bless you all.

opportunity for you to continue to be involved in Rangers as your time permits. Royal Rangers leaders upon reaching retirement age or when medical problems or other reasons prohibit them from serving as a commander, may feel they no longer have a part in Royal Rang-ers ministry. This is certainly not the case, as many of these leaders have a wealth of knowledge and experiences and are willing and able to serve on a limited basis. RRA will provide the structure by which these Royal Rangers leaders may continue to be a vital part of Royal Rangers and assist their districts on their time sched-ule. The objective of the RRA is to provide opportunities for service and ministry for former/retired Royal Rangers leaders. Those interested in joining the ranks of the Royal Ranger Alumni can contact their sectional com-mander or sectional RRA coordi-nator for assistance.

Potomac District Royal Rangers Enrolled in AmazonSmile Giving Program

P otomac District Royal Rang-ers is sponsoring a Junior Leadership Training Acade-

my (JLTA) Junior Winter Camp (JWC) on Jan. 11-13, 2019 at the Heartwood Outdoors Camp in Big Pool, Md. The district offers this camp every two years, so Rangers are encouraged to take advantage of this unique leadership training opportunity. Rangers must be at least 12 years old and have already attended Junior Leadership Train-ing Camp (JLTC) in order to attend JWC. The application for JWC can be downloaded from the district web-site www.potomacrangers.org. Registrations must be in by Satur-day, Dec. 1, 2018. The cost of camp registration is $120, which includes all food, a special hat, a patch and sweat shirt specific to JWC. This will be the uniform for camp. Boys do not need to bring their Royal

Ranger Utility uniform. Due to the production of the necessary camp items, late regis-trations will not be accepted. The maximum attendance for JWC is 12 trainees. Interested Rangers are encouraged to submit their regis-tration early to secure their spot. Dinner will not be served at the camp on Friday evening, so boys should make arrangements to eat dinner on the road to camp. JWC is run on a very tight

schedule. Please do not be late for registration at 6:00 p.m. Rangers are instructed to leave all electronic games at home, as well as cell phones wherever pos-sible. Cell phones brought to camp will be collected at registration and returned after camp. Arrange-ments will be in place for emer-gency telephone calls out, and if anyone needs to get an emergency message in they can call the Dis-trict Royal Ranger Office at (703) 753-0300.

school. For years, he had worked to keep God out of his life, even to the point of forbidding his wife to attend church. On Saturday night, the evening before we arrived, he received a vi-sion from God and a healing from the debilitating migraine headaches that he had been suffering from for more than two years. As he relayed his experience to us and the mem-bers of the local church, he told how he had given his life over to Jesus and is now committed to serving Him as vehemently as he denied Him before. Then on Thursday night, we wit-nessed an entire family come to the Lord as they responded to the altar call after Pastor Phil Foster’s sermon. It is always refreshing to see that God is working and building His church even in such a remote loca-tion. At the end of the week we judged the trip to be a success on many lev-els, work accomplished, souls saved, old relationships deepened, new re-lationships started, and certainly impact upon the Shuar and local communities. As a missions team, we would like to thank the Potomac District and the Blue Ridge Chapter for your support. Remember that everyone’s participation in the auctions at the FCF traces helps finance the work that is being done. While we had a team of 14 on the trip, everyone who donates an item or purchases an item in the auction, or makes a mon-etary donation are just as much a part of the work that God is doing in the areas where the mission teams go to build.

O n June 1-3 the North Hampton Roads and South Hampton Roads

Areas held their combined Area Pow Wow at Camp Bullfrog which is part of the Heavenly Waters Re-treat area in Ivor, Va. 14 outposts were represented for a total attend-

the weekend landed them the oppor-tunity to become a Master Ranger—meaning Master Disciple for Jesus—and receive their light saber at the council fire. The Pow Wow theme verse was 2 Timothy 1:7, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Ten event stations were used that centered around Star Wars titles and theme including a zip line and building a R2D2, and finished with our card-board boat extravaganza! Our speaker was Rev. Dr. Daryl Jones who is a full-time missionary serving with the Cru Military Ministry. Cru Military was established in 1965 as Military Ministry at the direct request of Campus Crusade for Christ founder Bill Bright, who recognized the military as a strategic audience for Christian out-reach. Cru Military has more than 200 full and part-time staff and hundreds of volunteers across the U.S. and in Eu-rope. Hundreds of military members receive Jesus Christ into their lives eve-

ance of 204 Rangers and Ranger Kids on Saturday for their field day activity. The theme this year was Ranger Wars: Becoming a Master, based off of the Star Wars movies. This year’s Pow Wow was a boot camp style event for young “Padawan” Rangers. Their efforts throughout

Daryl (aka “Bones”) was a United States Air Force command pilot with over 2,500 flying hours to include flying the F-15 air superiority fighter aircraft including becoming a Top Gun/ Distinguished Graduate. The council fire message was cen-tered in Matthew 21 and the parable of two sons and Daryl’s own flying expe-riences, focusing on the choices we need to make and follow through on in service for Christ as his Master Disci-ples. 12 boys came forward for salva-tion! 3 more boys then came forward for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and many came forward unsolicited after the service for special prayer. We praise God for his mighty works at this year’s Area Pow Wow!

Also instructing the class was Baltimore Area Director Ken Black. Among the stu-dents in the class, hosted at Bethel Assembly of God in Savage, Md., was the youth pastor for Odenton Church of God, host to Outpost 210. Several of the leaders had previously completed the Ranger Essentials class last fall so they are at the READY status in their training level.



Fall Advancement Camp Develops Outdoor Skills

The North Hampton Roads Area Fall Advancement Camp was held on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Camp Heavenly Waters in Ivor, Va. Five outposts participated with 56 in attendance. Multiple merits were offered including wilderness survival, prim-itive snares and shelters, Dutch oven cooking, tool craft and fire craft. We also ran a fun geocaching afternoon adventure. Our late afternoon fun event was Gaga ball. Saturday evening we had an awesome service with 13 boys coming forward for fresh fire and reengagement in what God has called them to do.

Musical Achievement

Discovery Ranger James Carpentino of Outpost 262 in Ellicott City, Md., plays for his school band at Waverly Elementary. As a fourth grader he plays in the Beginners Band, but James also got to play in the Ad-vanced Band with the fifth graders because James was promoted earlier this year. He has really taken to the French Horn and his teacher wanted to challenge him.
