Welcome to the 2023 National Royal Rangers LEAD Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This exciting and informative event will challenge you to be the leader you have been called to be. You have been divinely selected and sent on a mission to evangelize, equip, and empower the next generation of boys and young men for Christ!
The Royal Rangers ministry has long been a powerful tool for building boys into Christlike men, and your role is a key factor in the ongoing success of this ministry. My hope is that you will receive inspiration and information that will prepare you for your leadership role in Royal Rangers at this conference. May God richly bless you as you continue to partner with leaders from across the country and around the world to transform the next generation of Christlike men through the ministry of Royal Rangers.
