I got in and can I just say, I am ready for another course! I did them all and I was so blessed and I even rededicated my life to Christ yet again! lol I’ve been given a renewed Spirit for mentoring and whatever else the Lord has in mind for me! It really was great. The module of Discipleship was the BEST! I love all the resourses and links in there too. I know I will be going back to check on them and try them out and get to know them. thanks and have a great week!!!!

Thanks for sharing your initial response to the course with us Alexis! After over a year of working on this, it’s so exciting for us to be able to share it with you our mentor team and we look forward to hearing from you.
Perhaps you picked up a tip that you will want to use in mentoring and share it here in this space with other mentors on the team.
This is also a great place to ask questions that you may have! Looking foward to hearing from many of you!
February 12th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Thank you so much Alexis for taking the time to share your encouraging comments about the new e-learning training. I look forward to other comments, tips or questions from other mentors as well.
February 15th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Having completed this training I am disappointed that I didn’t see where I had answered incorrectly on the test. I think that would be helpful as I obviously didn’t understand everything.
Also my computer skills are limited and I really don’t know how to check for spelling when on the reply page, or cutting and pasting say my testimony from word to that page. Any ideas to help.
One other point I did not understand that I was to encourage a continuing relationship with the people I answer. Nor have I followed up with any other that when they have sent me a reply. Now I am feeling I have let these people down.
This study is indepth and demanding. Thank you for it.

Hi everyone, this is SO exciting. I haven’t finished working my way through all the lessons yet so I’m here asking questions. I’m with Christina, aren’t you going to tell us which questions we missed so we can study for the final???
My only other suggestion would be to have a SPECIAL “chat room” JUST for mentors. So we can pray, share and encourage, brainstorm for some of the most difficult situations, and pool resources we find helpful in certain situations.
Good work, you guys, May God continue to bless and expand this ministry!
February 15th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
Christina,
Thank you for your comments and questions.
I agree it would be helpful to know which ones were wrong. I was looking for that myself. Unfortunately, the e-learning software, does not allow for us to see the tests results. Hopefully, this will be available in the future.
Like any test, the way some questions are worded can be tricky and could be either misinterpreted by the reader or perhaps there was not enough information given to clearly define the purpose of the question. Christina, reviewing your test scores you did very well.
Please don’t be concerned if you did not get a perfect score on the pre & post tests. Our Interactive Director who helped write the course couldn’t even get them all right!
ARC does not have a spell check at this time. If you want to check your spelling you will have to use Word to type your reply and then copy/paste it into arc to send.
There’s a few different ways to copy/paste. One way, select the text that you want to copy and right click on your mouse. Click on ‘copy’. Then you go to the page where you want to paste, make sure your cursor is showing where you want the text to appear, then right click again and click on paste.
The second way. Select the text and hold down the control key ‘Ctrl’ while pressing the letter ‘c’. Go to the page where you want to paste and make sure your cursor is showing where you want to paste it and hold down the control key ‘Ctrl’ and press the letter ‘v’.
Please don’t be discouraged and thinking that you’ve let people down. The E-Learning training was designed to enhance your ministry to others. You can’t change what you don’t know. You have been a blessing to those you have contacted and will continue to be a blessing. We are learning together.

Hi Gramma,
I love your idea about the mentor chat room! Yes!! We could totally do this. Is anyone else interested? Please post your answer here.
Terry
February 16th, 2007 at 10:18 am
I am going through the training and the end of the second module was so unclear regarding the test question. It says there is no test question, click submit. When i did so, it scored me 0%. Confusing. How may I rectify this?
With love, in Jesus name
Stephanie
February 16th, 2007 at 10:26 am
I’m sorry for the confusion Stephanie…great question by the way!
There are no tests at the end of each module, just a pre and post test. So when you have finished a module, click the test link and submit. This will store the module in the completed list, which is necessary for you to get to the post test. You are able to review any module at any time by clicking on the ‘Learn’ tab and then click on the ‘Completed Courses’ tab.
Blessings!
Terry
February 17th, 2007 at 9:04 pm
I’m loving this as it is hopefully honing my skills, it feels like it and i like that we can print off info to keep as a reminder of what to do or not do. Glad Stephanie asked about the 0% as I too was wondering what was going on. I like the chat idea too time issues may be a problem but I’m deifintiely interested also.

Hi Frances,
Thank you for your comments! I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying the e-learning training and how you’re benefiting from it.
Also, thank you for letting me know you’re interest in having a mentor chat room. I’ve got your name on the list!
Blessings!
Terry
February 20th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
I would be interested in a Mentor chat room as well Terry. Even something like this where we can post and leave ideas and ask questions etc would be good. I’m stil a little shy about the chat rooms. I can’t type fast enough! LOL
Blessings!!!
Alexis
February 20th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Hi Alexis,
Thanks for letting me know. I like your idea to have a bulletin board where we can post and leave ideas. I understand your feelings regarding a chat room. The room can be intimidating in the beginning but the more you come in, the more comfortable you will become and you’re always welcome to join us and just read the text.
Blessings!
Terry
February 20th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
Hi Alexis,
It was just pointed out to me that this blog is a good place for us to post ideas and leave questions. As you can tell, I’m not much of a blogger yet.

I did complete all the modules. I found them very helpful and inspiring. I thought the modules–the entire thing–were very well done; easy to read and understand, very easy to navigate. Excellent job!
God bless,

This course is great! They were able to teach such a subjective things as mentoring in a logical way. Thank-you!!! I learned so much! I just finished Module 8 and I think there was supposed to be a link with videos. I did not find it. What is the link again?
March 5th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Wilma,
I’m thrilled that you learned so much from the e-learning courses. Thank you for your encouraging comments!
Although, in Module 8 the narrator does say that there is a video in the resource link, this link was never there. The part where the narrator says, “video addressing needs from the spiritual perspective” has now been removed.
I’m sorry for the confusion.
March 14th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
I just completed the training. Well done! Great refreshers, and very helpful to me in all aspects of my Christian walk. i guess I’m not done yet….have to press the test buttons.
March 14th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Thank you for submitting your comments Marian! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed these courses. Feel free to go right through to module 9. You do have to click test and then submit, under the Final Test column in order for you to receive the post test.
Blessings!
March 23rd, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Just finished the mentoring training course. I’m wondering what the next step is? Is there a test? I clicked on final test after completing module 9, and got a message there is no test.
March 23rd, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Hello Cate,
At the end of each module you do have to click on ‘test’ in the Final Test column on the far right side of the page where the modules are listed. There are no tests available but you still have to click ‘test’ and then ’submit’ to close the module. After you have done this for all 9 modules, you will have access to the post test.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Hi Terry,
I have taken the pre-test and clicked all the buttons but it doesn’t come up completed?? Any suggestions?? I have done the second one too…and that one came up on the “complete tab”.
Thanks for the instructions!! They are great so far.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Michele & Gordon,
I’m waiting to hear back from the technician to answer your question regarding the pre-test. I will post the answer as soon as I know. Thank you for your patience.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Thank you for developing this e-training tools! THey are wonderful. It makes the training fun and easy and most importantly - inspiring. God renewed my desire to be enthusiastic in this ministry.
I want to share this with Christian workers in my new church right now. I am sure a lot of them are qualified to become mentors as well. I want them to see the benefits of this ministry and link the youth in our church to this. Am I allowed to give them a look into the training modules? Can I link the Truthmedia to my blog so my friends will have an opportunity to see them as well?
May 23rd, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Thank you Arlene for those encouraging comments! We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed going through the e-learning course and how it has benefited both your spiritual life and ministry.
You’re welcome to show this training through your login to your friends. For any that are interested in becoming a mentor, please send them to this page, http://training.truthmedia.com/mentoring/definerole.html
And ask them to first read through the ‘Guidelines and Responsibilites of a Mentor’ before filling in the mentor application form.
After they have been approved, they will receive their own login for the e-learning training and will be able to go through the courses themselves.
You also asked, “Can I link the Truthmedia to my blog so my friends will have an opportunity to see them as well?” Although you can’t actually link to the Training Modules since those are only for people that are mentors with us, feel free to link to either http://www.truthmedia.com or one of our other sites like http://www.christianwomentoday.com or http://www.thelife.com .
Blessings!

I’ve just finished the mentoring modules and found them very informative. I particularly appreciated the sample responses to letters - good practical help. The blog was also helpful, as I found answers to my questions without even asking them.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Thank you for the opportunity to take the course. All I have completed was the pre-test, so I can’t comment yet.

The course is well done and helpful, but one of the beginning modules had a confusing answer. We have been told that we are not to give advice, so when I had to choose 4 out of 5 answers, I thought “offer sympathetic advice” was the one to exclude. But it turned out to be the #1 answer, followed by “include a prayer,” “share your story,” & “offer a message of hope.”
June 19th, 2007 at 8:24 am
Thank you for your comments Lyn. You’re right, the correct answer is to “offer sympathetic advice”. This is an error and we will be changing it. I’m sorry for the confusion.

I have just completed the 9 modules & have enjoyed it all through. Terry, thank you for this very clear & comprehensive e-mentor training program which has helped to consolidate what I have learned. Above all, I find very useful the vast resource in the website links that you have given for different situations & needs. I still have to familiarize myself with them first before I can make good referrals of them. Thank you again. God bless.

Hi Susan,
Thank you for taking the time to write us! The staff at TruthMedia are delighted that you both enjoyed and benefited from the online mentor training.
FYI: There are both pre and post tests. Below are instructions for you to access the Final-Post Test.
When you have finished a module, click ‘test’ under the ‘Final Test’ column on the right side of the page, then click ‘submit test’, ‘ok’ and ‘close’. (there are no tests) but this will store the module in the completed list, which is necessary for you to get to the post test. You are able to review any module at any time by clicking on the ‘Learn’ tab and then click on the ‘Completed Courses’ tab.
God Bless You Susan.

Dear All,
I’ve just completed two modules and I feel the same as you all!
Yes, it would be good to have a chat and prayer time with all mentors. I live in Taiwan, so the time issue can be a problem.
Rejoicing in Christ,

Thanks Doris,
I am busy with the 5th lesson on E-Learning, TruthMedia - As an old teacher (27 years ago), I must acknowledge - this is indeed excellent work.
May God bless you with much more insights in developing similar tools in Fulfilling the Great Commission.
Since 4 weeks ago, I am getting formal training on developing my own Website on Drupal. Please check my Website as it is at this stage: http://www.godlovesyou.co.za

Dear Terry Klatt
How I have to get 100% every Module
Sadhu
November 16th, 2007 at 11:26 am
I was glad to find that I was applying these principles to my mentoring. However, I am somewhat confused about not offering advice. Many of my contacts are in financial trouble. I advise them on setting up a budget and how to monitor their finances with the aim of getting out of debt. I took the Financial counselling course given by Larry Bukett and have councselled many in an attempt to get them to gain fiscal responsibility with considerable success. Am I anot supposed to do this on Truth Media?
November 16th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
In reference to Richard’s comment, I can easily see where there may be confusion on this matter. The problem lies in that if we give advice we are then legally liable for that advice and we (TruthMedia and the mentor) can be held responsible for that advice. To me giving advice is telling people what they should do rather then what we want our mentors to do which is come along side and offer suggestions. This may be as simple as how one words their reply.
Using your financial mentoring as an example, you can suggest to a person that a budget has worked for countless numbers of people and may well work for them. This is not telling them they should budget but letting them know that it is a very good idea and letting them decide. There is in my mind at least a big difference between “you should do this” and “this has worked for many others”. I am not suggesting that you have been doing it wrong.
Suggesting approaches is not only less likely to bring us into the court room but I also think more like Christ.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:17 am
Hello: this is my first attempt to send something in here. I just want you to know that I am enjoying this mentoring. Just the fact that maybe I can help someone with their problems is so rewarding. Maybe this is God’s plan for my life. I am not to ‘word-y’ however so always think that I should have written more. I try to rely on the Holy Spirit for directions here.
everyone seems so knowledgeable.
I am so glad that I read the above letter and reply. I have wondered about this too. always something new to learn. am so glad that Terri is here and that I can learn from the rest of you too.
Blessings! Janet

Hello, This is the first time for me to write something in this blog. I have truly been blessed through the training that I have taken so far. I love all the resources and links. It has been a great refresher course for me. I am exited to be able to help someone with their problems with the help of the Holy Spirit.
May God continue to bless you and this e-training program.
Yours in Christ,

This is my first interacting during the training. I am really pleased with the training, at least so far. I was so elated to find the mentoring program. It is in line with my gift mix and my desire to work with others in a one on one format. I am trying to take in every little bit of training, because I really want to reach out and help anyone who is in pain. I look forward to completing the training and beginning to be of help (with fear and trembling). Thank You for offering this opportunity for myself and others who believe this is what God is calling us to do.

Hi Evelyn,
It’s awesome to hear how God has directed you. I look forward to working together in this common goal, of reaching those who are hurting and lost with the hope, love and peace that comes from Jesus Christ.
January 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I have just finised the training, I think it is great. I do ask that you pray for me as I begin to mentor, that I may always be yielded to the Spirit. I look forward to being God’s tool in the lives of people with questions or in need of spiritual guidence and I look forward to helping them to meet and accept Christ, or rededicate their lives to Him, and start down the path of knowing, growing, and sharing Christ with others.
Evelyn
January 21st, 2008 at 9:07 am
Evelyn,
Thank you for your comments and your prayer request. I would be more than happy to pray for you and all the online mentors.
Father, thank you for Evelyn and all the mentors. You hear and know her desire to honor you and help others come to a face to face, side by side relationship with you. Father, I pray that you bless the work of her hands as she types the responses to the ones she has been matched with. May she lean on you and not her own understanding. May her own relationship continue to grow and out of that, be able to minister too many. Thank you for her heart of service and I pray that she be encouraged in her spirit as she knows that you are working in and through her. In your precious name, Jesus, Amen.
Welcome to the online mentoring team Evelyn!

I just finished the Online Study Coaching module and after submitting my answers for the questions, I did not get to see what the expert response was. I did two exercises in responses and then it completed the course. Is there a way to get the answers and correct this? Thanks!
January 28th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Congratulations Josh!
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, at this time it is not possible for you to get the answers, however, your answers are being stored. The e-learning is still a work in progress and this feature will be added as well as the pre and post tests in the future. Now that you have completed the lessons, you will receive your login information for ARC.
Blessings!

Hi, I think I finished the second module but it says only 86% completed but I don’t know where I left off. Can someone help?
February 11th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Hi Gertrude,
This is a technical glitch with some modules and they are working to fix this. To check to see if you finished module 2, or to review any module, log in and click on ‘resume’.
I’m sorry for the confusion.
Blessings!
February 17th, 2008 at 5:49 am
I AM SO EXCITED…and at the same time realize that the compassion of Christ must shine through my life - my thoughts - my heart because there are SO MANY hurting people for God to use us to minister to. What an honor and privilege that He has chosen ME to be one of his communicators. I PRAY He will work in and through my very being and it will always be “nevertheless, Thy Will be done”.
One question I have is what version - translation is preferred for use? In my personal life, I have quite a few scriptures memorized that are from the LB. I realize it is a paraphrase - would be careful to use it. Isa. 46:4 is an example of one that speaks more directly to me. Thoughts? Marge
February 17th, 2008 at 5:51 am
I want to subscribe to the comments. Think I did not get the button clicked in time. mh
February 18th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Hi Marge,
We are very excited about having you on the mentoring team! You are welcome to use the version that you are most comfortable with. I use the LB in my life regularly. I believe the newer translations are actually easier to understand.
Blessings!

April 4th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Dear Terry and Doris,
It was a great e-learning training. Many of my pre-conceived ideas were changed but not all and I know both of you as women of GOD understand that, that we have different style of sharing the gospel of Christ. But I truly have learned so many valuable and important lessons why we can only suggest and not give advice. I thank bro. Warren for specifically clarifying the legality on the issues. I surely do not want to create a problem to the website.
I thought I had many years of training already but GOD is not a stale GOD. HE has something fresh for us every morning like HIM so I must pay attention to HIS instruction to be effective in HIS kingdom. Moses did not see the promise land because he used the old way of producing water for the Israelites. Sometimes I felt I cannot do it anymore. I’m too set in my old ways. I thank Marge for sharing God’s word in Isaiah 46: 4. It made me hopeful.
Terry and Doris, I will try to be a part of this ministry. Maybe the intelligence of these young blood will rubs off on me, lol. Yet GOD says in Zechariah 4:6 NIV- So he (angel) said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:’Not by might nor by my power, but by my SPIRIT’, says the LORD ALMIGHTY.”
I would like to be changed by HIM for HIS work and for HIS glory. I would like HIM to rule and reign in me all the rest of my life. I would like HIM to find me faithful to HIM. So help me GOD and please pray for me as I pray for each and everyone of you. The reapers are few but truly the harvest are ripe.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I would like to be counted for those in favour to have a chat room for Mentors.
Thank You.
You did an awesome job Doris, thank you. If anyone had worked with you please
convey my thanks to her/him/them too.
God bless
April 7th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Dear Romelda,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I love what you wrote about keeping current with God. “I thought I had many years of training already but GOD is not a stale GOD. HE has something fresh for us every morning like HIM so I must pay attention to HIS instruction to be effective in HIS kingdom.”
This is so true for all of us and writing this statement, shows that you have both a soft heart towards God and also a teachable spirit. You’re willing to allow the Spirit to lead and guide you. That’s so awesome!
Romelda, your experiences with the Lord is valuable and I believe we all should maintain a Godly humility within us, that allows us to learn from each other, young and old. We all have something to offer, no matter where we are in the journey.
Thank you Father, that you are not a stale God, but refreshing, renewing, alive and involved. Bless the work of Romelda’s hands as she plows through the garden that you have set before her. Planting good seeds along the way, that will grow and produce plenty for your Kingdom. Encourage her today Lord. Continue to lead and guide her along the best pathway for her life. In your precious name I pray, Jesus, Amen.
Blessings!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I am delighted that you made it thru the elearning training Romelda!and it makes all the long hours worthwhile to hear a mentor say that!
I also liked what you said about our God not being a stale God…Amen to that!

I thoughly enjoy, being on the net, but this is more exciting because God has given me the ability to be a mentor to others. and show them the love of Christ. I know the only Jesus people will see/hear/write is me. To gain the world is to loose ones’ life, but to gain Christ, is to gain eternity with Jesus Christ.

Hi June,
Thank you for your comments. It’s wonderful to use the net for God’s purpose. To encourage others and be able to share God’s love and hope with those who are hurting.
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you all for sharing it does help to read how others are doing, or did. This is so encouraging to be allowed to participate, putting my faith in action. I love encouraging others. It’s hard in this negative world; I’m blessed to be an encouragement for others online!
Blessings to all,
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
I agree, it’s a pretty awesome thing to be able to share the gospel and encourage others online. It’s also wonderful having you on the mentoring team.

Just started the mentor training. I popped over here to see what it was. A mentoring chat room might be useful. I don’t know if you’ve implemented this yet - just responding to comments. And I would prefer (like other sites) to have the most recent replies at the top, not at the bottom. I know this can “feel” backwards to some, but you don’t have to scroll all the way down to see the most recent one, and you don’t start reading replies that are months old, unless you want to. So far so good. I’ll likely add additional comments as I progress or complete the on-line modules. God bless.
TIP: Another way to do spell checking on a comment is to copy and paste it into a new message in an email program (like Microsoft Office or Express) and use it’s spell check features. Then you can copy and paste the text back on top of the original message here. Then delete the email message you created, or send it to yourself for your own copy. It’s faster than using Word… and not everyone has Word or is familiar with using it.

I’m mentoring for barely 2 months only and I must say it really feels so great to be a blessing to others as we minister to them. and I’m so blessed that i look forward on getting mails.
However, I would need some inputs on how to open up to someone, I’ve ministered for quite awhile; whom I have sensed on her last email that she has not received Jesus as her savior. I’ve have been replying to a lady’s mail (got 4 replies from her)and that she’s goin thru depression. Although by GOD grace and wisdom, as I shared with her some spiritual thoughts and truths and prayed for her as well; she said she’s now feeling better. My concern now is somehow I’ve sensed that she is not saved.

It’s me again. My apologies I have accidentally clicked the “submit comment”.
Anyways going back, hope you could advise me on to how to approach this situation (encourage the mentoree) to accept Jesus and be saved, since we exchanging mail 4 times already and only at the last email have I sensed that she’s not yet saved.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you very much.
Godbless…
