  6. Mentoring as a Tool for Empowerment ‘Mentoring is a dynamic, intentional relationship of trust in which one person (mentor) enables another (mentee) by sharing their God given experience and resources, to maximise the grace of God in their life and in the service of God’s Kingdom purposes’. John Mallison

  7. What happens in a mentoring relationship? So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2

  8. What about you? Do you have a person speaking into your life in a dynamic and intentional way?

  9. What about you? Are you speaking into someone’s life in a dynamic and intentional way?

  10. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness - the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. Colossians 1:25-29
