Code of Conduct

We anticipate all Ambassadors’ Academy participants will let his or her “light so shine before

men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Mt. 5:16).

Participants are expected to conduct themselves at all times in such a way as to bring honor and

glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. Participants will dress in such a way so as not to draw negative attention to themselves,

or in such a way as to possibly cause another brother or sister in Christ to stumble. The

dress code for the Academy is casual, modest, and presentable.

2. Participants are expected to be punctual for all Academy-related activities. When

traveling as a group, those who arrive late and miss the bus will be responsible for

arranging their own transportation back to the hotel.

3. Participants will refrain from wearing Christian apparel during all street evangelism

activities. (While there is certainly nothing wrong with Christian apparel, specifically for

the Academy, for various reasons, we ask it not be worn.)

4. Participants will refrain from wearing any visible jewelry associated with body piercings,

with the exception of women’s modest earrings. All male participants are asked to not

wear earrings.

5. Participants will refrain from bringing any street evangelism or abortion signs. (This is

purely for practical reasons, among those are the setup of the Academy and training does

not lend itself to this form of outreach, although it can certainly be a great outreach

method.)

6. Participants and/or leaders will not enter the hotel room of a participant or leader

of the opposite sex.

7. Participants will refrain from viewing any overtly violent, sexually explicit, and/or

blasphemous television programming or movies in their hotel room.

8. Participants will respect the staff and facilities of their hotel.

9. Participants are asked not to distribute gospel tracts in their hotel.

10. Participants will respectfully cooperate with their leaders during all street evangelism

activities.

11. Participants will not wander away from designated street evangelism areas without first notifying their leader.

12. Participants will submit to the authority of any and all law enforcement officials (police,

sheriff’s department, etc.) during all street evangelism activities. It will be the

responsibility of each leader to immediately contact a member of the Academy staff if his

team is contacted, in an official enforcement capacity, by law enforcement.

13. Participants will immediately contact their team leader if they are injured or become ill.

Team leaders will, in turn, immediately contact a member of the Academy staff.

14. Participants will participate in all Academy activities and will be on time to all sessions,

meetings, meals, and departures from the hotel and street evangelism locations.

15. Participants will conduct themselves according to the mandates of Mark 12:28-31 and 1

Corinthians 13, in all interactions with fellow Academy participants and the general

public.

16. Participants will refrain from the consumption of any and all alcoholic beverages while

attending the Ambassadors’ Academy.

17. Participants will refrain from the use of any and all tobacco products while attending the

Ambassadors’ Academy.

18. Participants will honor the “Statement of Unity” they agreed to when submitting their

application, not to discuss or debate finer points of theology, but rather keep the focus on

evangelism at the Academy. Topics of debate that will not be allowed include but are not

limited to: Calvinism vs. Arminianism, Continuationism vs. Cessationism, Flat Earth,

KJV vs. other biblical translations, etc.

19. Filming of any kind is not permitted during Academy hours. Our primary focus is on

training individuals to share the gospel effectively, and allowing filming during Academy

hours would distract from this mission. Those who prioritize content creation may find

themselves distracted from their training and may inadvertently disrupt others'

experiences. While attendees are welcome to vlog during their free time, we must

maintain a focused environment during Academy hours and therefore cannot permit any

filming activities.

20. Participants acknowledge and agree that violation of this “Code of Conduct” may result

in dismissal from the Academy.

Statement of Unity

The Academy is about training Christians to be effective as they respond to Jesus' command to take the gospel to the world using biblical evangelism.

Beyond the theological distinctives clearly delineated in the application, there are no theological litmus tests for participation in the Academy—for neither participants nor team leaders or lady mentors. All Academy leaders and participants are encouraged to maintain their theological, denominational, and philosophical distinctives while extending grace to other leaders and participants who may not agree with them on every point in these various spiritual areas.

Theological debate is not tolerated during the Academy; to the extent such conversations can be reasonably monitored and curtailed. The reason is very simple. Our focus at the Academy is very narrow—training and encouraging brothers and sisters in Christ to present the biblical gospel in a biblical way. There are appropriate times and places for Christians to lovingly discuss finer points of theology; but the time and place for such activities will not be found during the Academy.

We expect all of those who participate in the Ambassadors’ Academy to come away from the experience changed—not changed from Calvinist to Arminian, or vice versa; not changed from non-charismatic to charismatic, or vice versa; not changed from Baptist to Presbyterian, or vice versa. The expectation is that every participant will be changed—changed in such a way that they love Jesus Christ more; that they love His Word more; that they love their Christian brethren more; that they love the lost more.

The philosophy of ministry expressed above is necessary for a great evangelism growth experience. It keeps us focused on the call of the Great Commission. It is a philosophy of ministry we plan to maintain, for the glory of God. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ who agrees with this philosophy of ministry, then this Academy is for you. And we look forward to serving our Lord side-by-side with you, for the glory of Jesus Christ.
