Pastor Ray with the Middle School & High School Boys in the “Mentoring into Manhood” Class

EMBASSY ACADEMY

in Partnership with

AMBASSADORS TO THE NATIONS (aka Ray Lacelle Ministries, Inc)

DESCRIPTION:  Weekly 60-min Group Zoom Meeting for the Purpose of Encouraging, Challenging, Sharpening & Mentoring Teen Boys to ascend into the call from God to be strong, humble servant leaders for Christ. We use the Bible as the focus of our discussion & interaction.  Pastor Ray will call upon those who are attending & also refer to those who are part of our group who may be absent due to time-zones or schedule conflicts.  Every session starts & ends with prayer, trusting God to empower us as a group to see & hear from Him how to be doer’s (not hearer's only) of the lesson.  Pastor Ray is quick to tell the teens that he is called to supplement the strong, godly males the Lord has already placed in their lives. Everything he is teaching is to come alongside their own father, grandfather, uncle, pastor, youth pastor, priest, and other godly mentor figures. Fathers/father figures are encouraged to join the Zoom meeting & our discussion with their son(s), and to continue the conversation which these lessons are designed to inspire.

RESOURCES: The Bible, A Weekly Study Sheet written by Ray, Robert Lewis' Raising a Modern Day Knight, Stu Weber's 4 Pillars of A Man's Heart, Smalley & Trent’s The Gift of the Blessing, Edwin Louis Cole's Maximized Manhood, and more.

HISTORY:  This class initially began locally in 2020 at Embassy Academy located in Porter, TX, for the teen boys enrolled at our K-12 private Christian Academy.  In the Fall of 2022, we expanded our offering to those who have relocated away from the academy, who are still connected with us, and for new teens who may not be able to attend in person, but who have a desire to be in a positive, godly atmosphere which challenges each young man to be all he has been called to in Christ.

ABOUT PASTOR RAY:  Pastor Ray is married to Tiffany.  The Lacelle’s have (3) teenage daughters who are active in music ministry and have grown up as PK (pastor’s kids) helping their parents serve others.  Ray helped launch and has served as the principal & administrator at Embassy Academy since its inception in 2015.  He is the founder/president of Ambassadors to the Nations, which he started in 1995.  Ray has served as youth minister, executive pastor, itinerate guest speaker in churches, and has served through in the capacity of several other areas in ministry.  The Lacelle’s “have a passion to help families grow strong in their walk with the Lord”.  The absence of Pastor Ray’s father in his home, following his parents’ divorce when Ray was in the 3rd grade, gives him a 1st-hand knowledge of the many struggles we as adults can help our teen boys avoid through proper guidance and prayer.
