Living on mission, ministering through Royal Ambassadors

In the early 1970s, Greg Hutchison lived just outside Atlanta, Georgia, with his dad, mom and younger brother. His dad had a massive heart attack at 36 and died. Having only lived in Georgia for less than two years, they moved back home to Jonesboro, Arkansas.

It was at Central Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas, that Hutchison got his first taste of Royal Ambassadors (RA).

His RA teachers at the church were Mick and Bud Boland, who had worked with his dad. Years down the road, Hutchison said he went to work for the company that his dad worked for, and he too worked with Mick and Bud.

“They were a very intricate part of my growing up,” he said.

Through RA, Hutchison said he “learned about Jesus and how missionaries carried the story of Christ around the world.”
