Mentor Resources and Guidelines
|
 |
Christian Mentoring is a one-on-one relational
experience in which one Christian empowers another by investing God-given wisdom and resources. Though the word "mentor" does
not appear in the Bible the process of mentoring was the primary means of instruction in those times.
The Bible is a book about relationships...God's relationship in the Trinity, God's relationship to man and man's relationship
to each other. Our nature as relational beings is ultimately an expression of God's own nature.

The following scriptures give examples of mentoring relationships:
-Exodus 18 - Jethro and Moses
-Deut 31:1-8; 34:9 - Moses and Joshua
-Acts 16:1-3; Phil 2:19-23; I and II Tim - Paul and Timothy
Why mentor? Because...
-It provides accountability,
-It promotes and encourages success,
-It provides a healthy model of Christian living,
-Even in church people can be isolated and lonely.
We approach the establishment of a healthy Christian mentoring relationship through the framework of a covenant. A covenant
is concerned about relationships in which God is at work in both the mentor and the mentee - and God does not fail. We may fail and
that is the perfect time for God to do His greatest work. A covenent is person-centered, defines the nature of the relationship,
clarifies the primary goal of the relationship and ultimately is about spiritual development.
