In the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, the scripture commands us to "go to all the nations". In the original language, it literally mean "as you go" or "as you are going", make disciples.
This truth found in the Word of God has greatly influenced everything we do with the Ambassadors. This past week, the teams were in Missouri and the Lord allowed our team to represent His name in a significant way. I am so thankful to the Lord that He has His hand on the Ambassadors.
The following are a few comments left on our website. I very grateful for these people taking the time to go to our site and share how the Lord spoke to their heart through some young men who are learning how to be true Ambassadors for Christ.
This is a most amazing story. My husband, myself and our children ran into the players at Subway in Ozark, Missouri today!! The young men were so outstanding. They shared the story and gave us the bracelets to remember them and keep them in prayer. We were so impressed by them we will continue to lift them up in prayer! My 13 year old son loved the story they shared, I want to thank them for taking the time. It is always wonderful as a parent when your son finds young people who are Christians and can look up to them!!!! Thank you!!! We will be supporting this ministry!! To make things even better they are on their way to Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri to play!!!! It's our Alma Mater!!!
Thank you to these young men for all they will do this summer... countless lives will be touched that they don't even realize! They are truly representing Justin's story and Godly walk!
Sincerely,
Dr & Mrs Jess Lyon

My husband and I ran into the team at Lamberts in Ozark. What an amazing group of young men. We stopped one of the team and he went right into the story of Justin the their ministry. we were both given a bracelet and we wear them proudly. There is truly hope for the future knowing these young men are spreading God's message.
God bless you and give peace to Justin's friends and family ! from Dyana Booker
My wife and I live in Illinois. We saw the team in Branson this past Thursday at the Fudrucker's restuarant. My wife and I were impressed by the team's behavior. Being a college coach, I approached Coach Vallerand to share what we had witnessed in their behavior. (I appreciate it when someone compliments my teams' behavior!)
Coach shared Justin's story with us. My son played baseball and had opportunities to travel around the world through baseball. However, when my wife and shared Justin's story and the mission of the Ambassadors, he felt as we did....that sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through baseball would have been an incredible experience.
As I had an opportunity to share from a pulpit thispast Sunday, I made mention of the mission work these young men are doing. Our church will lift the team up in prayers aswe do other missionaries. We are wearing our bracelets coach gave us to spark conversation with others. It has already opened doors for us to share themessage of Jesus Christ with others.
I pray that God will continue to bless this ministry and that lives will be changed and souls won. from Jim and Marietta Augenstein
Thank you all for sharing your story with us.
