WHO WE ARE
The OKC Ambassadors are a Christian athletics organization focused on discipling the next generation to live for Christ.

WHAT WE DO
For 17 years, we have taken young men for a baseball season and equipped them with the teaching of the Word of God. We focus on discipleship, leadership training, evangelism and athletic excellence. In addition, we serve local churches, host free baseball camps for children and play/host high level baseball tournaments.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT
We are not just simply a pray-before-the-game type of Christian baseball team. We are very intentional with our daily discipleship, Bible studies and accountability. Our goal is to raise up a generation of young men who are ready to stand for Christ no matter what the cultural circumstances might be.
PILLARS OF EXCELLENCE
Each season, we evaluate our ministry based on the following pillars:
DISCIPLESHIP
The Discipleship element of our ministry is paramount to our organization. If we are not training up and equipping young men that God brings into our program, then we are not being obedient to our calling as Ambassadors. God has specifically and intentionally put together a team of Ambassadors, and it is our job to build them up in their ability to be spiritual leaders for the rest of their life.
EVANGELISM
The Evangelism of our ministry is simply an overflow of our commitment to Discipleship. If our players are not devoted to their own spiritual growth, then they will not be motivated to take the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world of baseball. In all that we do in our discipleship, one of the most important aspects is the fact that we train our players to share the Gospel. We do this through the presentation of the Gospel in Scripture, teaching our players how to share the Gospel through their personal story of salvation and by using the colors of our uniforms.
ATHLETICS
God has given us the ability to play baseball and has provided us the opportunity to use this gift to take the one true Gospel to the nations through this game. Not only is this a privilege, but it is an incredible responsibility by which we must be good stewards. In order for us to be most effective with our baseball ministry, we must never forget that stewarding this gift is an outflow from our discipleship and an overflow of our evangelism. Baseball is nothing more than a secondary causation by which we, as Ambassadors, might “Go and make disciples.” As stewards of the gifts that God has given to us, it is our responsibility to use these gifts to the best of our ability, that God might be most glorified. God has called us to excellence in all things, but in this pursuit, we will never compromise the priorities of our ministry as Ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
DEVELOPMENT
We will have a long-term goal mindset looking to “leave this ministry better than we found it.” We will establish world-wide connections for others to be able to join in and be a part of what God is doing through this ministry. We will be a good steward with all of the resources that God has provided us.
