Welcome to the Ambassador Blog!

Goal:

To provide thoughtful words, resources, notes, and insights into the world of Christian Speakers and Authors

Who we are:

Ambassador Speakers Bureau and Literary Agency is the oldest and most established Christian-based talent agency in the United States. The company was founded in 1973 by Wes Yoder to represent many emerging contemporary Christian music artists. During the next ten years Ambassador became the premiere agency for Christian musicians and artists.

Ambassador Speakers Bureau, established in 1984, provides speakers for special program events around the world. We are the leading provider of speakers for the Christian and faith-based community and conduct a thriving business providing speakers to university, education, religious, non-profit, political and business meetings.

Ambassador's Literary department represents a growing list of best-selling authors. We represent select authors and writers who are published by the leading religious and general market publishers in the United States and Europe, and represent television and major motion picture rights for our clients.

For speakers and authors with high media demand, we schedule network television and national print interviews providing a thoughtful public relations strategy for each client. National media and literary clients have included the McCaughey Septuplets, Darrell Scott (Columbine), Afghanistan aid-workers Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer, Rick Warren, best-selling author of The Purpose Driven Life,the Van Ryn and Cerak families whose story is told in their # 1 New York Times Bestseller, Mistaken Identity (Simon & Schuster, March 2008), and The Shack, the current New York Times Fiction Bestseller.
