Mentoring for Discipleship

As we continue to build out our formation framework and pair mentors and mentees, we have come across some great resources to help frame these relationships. If you are hesitant to participate because you don’t know what it entails, let’s read together and talk about it!

As one author pointed out, “You may not feel equipped, but if you’re walking with the Lord, you can share what you’ve learned with others. The wisdom you have is wisdom they need. Pray with them. Memorize or read Scripture with them. Be a listening ear. Faithfully point them to Jesus. The effort is worth it, and the blessings will extend to you both, you’ll grow together as you learn together.”

Truly these relationships are what we make them, which allows each pair to set clear expectations and give it a go, checking in occasionally to ensure they are living up to what was agreed upon.

Here are a couple resources to get you started:

Cru has a great article on Christian mentoring that will give you a picture of how it is different than what you may have encountered before.

The Gospel Coalition also produced this helpful conversation on finding and being a mentor for women, that serves men as well.

Remember GX: Aurora Guangxi

Inspired by local GX good news workers, we'll be sharing about one people group who calls GX home per week. Like and follow to see the vibrant hues who make up Guangxi!

📖 JC said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may *teach* there also, for that is why I came out." -See Mark 1:38

🙏 May GX good news workers move on to the next towns this year so that all peoples may hear of JC.
