Terri’s Tuesday Tip ~Mentor Guidelines~
The Mentor Center Update
A few bugs were detected through last weeks testing time on our new mentor software. We do ask for concentrated prayer for the technicians and programmers as they work on solving the issues.
Please pray for wisdom and new insights to be given to correct the problems.
Library
I apologize that the link to the library last week was not working properly. It has been corrected on the blog post and I’ve also included in this weeks Tuesday Tip.

Tip
- Godly Encouragement: Mentoring involves a sincere desire to encourage others with the wisdom of the Bible. We actively pursue mentors who have a deep desire to share the love of Christ, and we realize that one cannot expect to show Christ to others if we are not engaged in a growing relationship with Christ ourselves.
- Mentoring Goal: Our purpose in mentoring is to show compassion and empathy by our words of concern and acknowledgment of their situation. By taking the time to write them we are showing them that they are valuable, that we care. When you respond realize that these are real people with real problems, ask the Lord to give you compassion. We want to help them mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically if possible.
- Mentoring Role: Let the people know that we are not counselors; our role is to point the people to helpful resources and to share the Gospel. We can carry their burden in prayer, but our real responsibility is to present the Gospel and refer them.
- Mentoring Opportunity: The purpose for each e-mail that we send is to see this as an opportunity to point that person to Jesus and to help them find answers in the Bible. Acknowledge their feelings of helplessness, of losing hope, but point them to Jesus for a supernatural healing.
Have an awesome week!
