Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I am humbled as I present with honor the very RR Oupost in Texas that responded to a cold call (Email) I made a few years ago about a game called Redemption. Here is the church and outpost from where a Godsend Commander by the name of Ken came from. He responded to God's call to learn, play, and spread Redemption to all Royal Rangers and beyond. The rest is amazing history. Meet Commander Ken at Nats2021!!!

Fast forward to 2021 as a young Commander mentored by Commander Ken bears fruits from Outpost68 as he learns Redemption at STXRR PowWow2021. Cmdr Peter shares Camelot Christian Center as the venue for the 2021 TX State Tournament. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!


TOURNEY PIC MEMORIES!

The huge success of Redemption at OK PowWow2021 proves that the game indeed fits perfectly into the RR lifestyle. With three states (TX,AL,OK) all pioneering the game successfully at their RR events, we pray and declare all states to follow suit apart from international beginnings.

Below are pic highlights from the OK PowWow2021. All original pic posting are in the Redemption Discord's RR channel.

Presenting the oldest Redemption player in history thus far - RR Alumni Cmdr Loy Barber A.K.A. Tater Bug. He is 86 years young!!! Loy is pictured w the pioneering OK demo team who are all from a single outpost led by Cmdrs Travis M & Toby C. To left of Loy is our own Travis M who taught Loy the game yesterday.



Redemption activity at OK PowWow2021 began the day before it was supposed to start, with new players from Chi Alpha (who helped set up camp) and a couple of outposts who came early.




As soon as after lunch of Day 1, the Redemption gaming hall was always filled with new learner's and new players wanting to practice more.





Friday night worship service probably catapulted Redemption as a major in-demand activity at OK PowWow2021 when District Commander Sid McCoy blessed me with the opportunity to speak briefly about the game then him following it up up w his own testimonial about Redemption.






The Redemption gaming hall getting filled with a couple of outposts on Friday night after Service which alone boasted a total of more than 30 players in the room led by Outpost 139's Cmdr Chris S plus Saturday non-stop game teaching from 8am to a room full of new players every hour until close to midnight - I am convinced of God's overwhelming presence at the event with His big smile knowing that his RR children have learned His game and will spread it to the ends of the earth!



The whole Redemption family would wish to thank OK RR Commanders Pastor Joe Blackwood & Ronnie Ewert for embracing the game at LEAD. Many thanks for Cmdr Joe making sure that Redemption is pushed as a PowWow2021 event. Super thanks to District Commander Sid McCoy for expressing his love and support for the game not just by sharing his testimonial throughout the whole camp but also for making sure that Redemption becomes a regular OK RR activity for ages to come!

We pray and declare an amazing destiny for the OK RR! We declare an amazing Redemption destiny for TX,AL, and OK as the three states spread Redemption wildfire across the country, the world, Mars, and beyond!!!

Laredo TX is on the Royal Rangers Redemption Map!!!

Enjoy Friday night and all of Saturday filled with Learn-N-Play mini expo events that also includes tournaments. Many thanks to Cmdr. Paul T. for his amazing enthusiasm after he learned the game at the 2021 STXRR EDGE Conference that pioneered Redemption as a training class - many thanks to Cmdr. Damon B.).

A few hours before it all began....


As in the past years there will always be an advanced party of RR Redemption enthusiasts wanting to hang out and start learning and practicing while we finish setting up store and demo areas....

***THE BIRTH OF ROYAL RANGERS REDEMPTION AT THE LEGENDARY CAMPORAMA***

To all Royal Ranger Redemption players at at Camporama2022:
I have proudly worn your Camporama shirt and patch for 2 years since the event was postponed in 2020. Wear yours proudly as you teach the game to all at camp! I will miss y'all!



Following is a highlights log witnessing how God's game is spread through our beloved Royal Rangers. This time it's at their national camping even held every 4 years.  This year 2022 is a make up for the postponed event in 2000 due to the pandemic.  Commander Ken Porter --- your pioneering seeds are reaping HARVEST, sir!!!

God bless our RR Redemption leaders @CmdrRoyce(RedRanger) (TX) and @CmdrChris (OK) who have paved the way for THE BIRTH of Redemption at Camporama.  @CmdrJoe (OK) helped @CmdrRoyce(RedRanger) secure a spot there in the Oklahoma area, with a tent kindly provided by Cmdr Travis M's outpost.  Cmdr. Travis's outpost pioneered the OK RR Redemption demo team at OK PowWow2021.

Thanks to all who volunteered to plant Redemption seeds to new RR players. We pray and declare unprecedented multiplication of players thru the Royal Rangers as they keep embracing God's game!!!

I have great faith that the next Camporama would reach more thousands! And by God's grace around that time it would be around 6000 from US Camporama, and 20,000 from Germany Bundescamp whose RR souls would be touched by the game.

I could not contain my feelings of being truly blessed as TX and OK join forces to plant Redemption seeds!!

I also KNOW for sure that the AL RRs led by @CmdrJohnR are planting Redemption seeds in their region. I hope they visited the SCentral regional camping area as well.

And ofc @CmdrAdam --- let us never forget that NY RRs are on the Redemption map because of him! I still pray and declare much fruits from Redemption  for the north east region when this amazing RR commander reunites with @Dario Dante to gather much harvest from seeds they have and will continue to plant in NY and beyond!

Also to all other Redemption players reading this channel and do not have any idea what R.A.I.D. (Ranger Actions In Discipleship) is --

Kudos to our RR Redemption jedi for sowing much seeds!!!

Cmdr Paul T (Laredo TX) hosts the 2nd Annual LEARN-N-PLAY at his church, co-hosted by The Arena Games.

The pin (not the Miyoda seal nor album -- lol) will be given to all RR demo team members who has taught the game at PowWow 3 times since 2019. Kudos!
