Mentoring
"Mentoring is a relatively recent term especially in Christian circles, but what it describes has been the focus of Christian community since the early church. It is a dynamic relationship of trust in which one person enables another to maximise the grace of God in his/her life and service. It has a sound biblical and theological basis with Jesus as the ultimate model, retaining all that is consistent with his life and teaching."
Extract from "Mentoring to Develop Disciples and Leaders" by John Mallison
We are starting a mentors program at community Chapel. At community Chapel, we want to ‘Watch over one another in love’. We have identified this as key to helping the community retain their faith and the fire we are receiving from current revival meetings.
Mentoring will take form of class meetings and one-to-one meetings as much as possible, remembering that "Watching over one another" is the essence of mentoring.
In doing this Jesus is our prime model because we see Him interacting with his disciples. The New Testament is full of ‘one another’ and ‘together’ passages, pointing to Christianity as a relational lifestyle, about community, the power of togetherness.
