Making God Known,
As He Is Since 2014

It’s hard enough seeing young people walk away from their relationship with God.

It’s even harder when it’s your own family, friends, or the people you love the most.

It was in these moments that God’s light revealed a path for us. One where we are
able to help students and their leaders not just understand what they believe, but
why they believe it through critical thinking, Biblical truth, and guided
conversations around their biggest questions.

Meet the Founders

Roy, co-founder of The Ambassadors Forum

Roy

Roy is a co-founder of The Ambassadors Forum and a speaker for our apologetics events. Having spent over 25 years ministering in one of the darkest corners of the civilized world, the high-tech, semiconductor industry, he’s no stranger to scrutiny or contradictory beliefs against Christianity.

His extensive background in Christian community leadership and apologetics and nationally recognized apologetics method known as “Bible Boot Camp”, have helped spearhead the start of The Ambassadors Forum.

Through his experience and approachable methods, he gives youth the ability to find answers to their own questions and demonstrates how to communicate and defend their faith confidently.

Rex, co-founder of The Ambassadors Forum

Rex

Rex became interested in apologetics in 2009 and has continued to shape his leadership and knowledge ever since.

Rex’s background in electrical engineering shaped his belief that faith is grown through truth and science. He helped co-found The Ambassadors Forum with a heart to show others that there ARE answers to their questions.

Rex has experience in church elder leadership, serving as elder chair and having guided a church’s transition to a biblical elder-led model.

As a board executive, he helps oversee the continued growth of the mission and service we provide at The Ambassadors Forum.
