5 Simple Thoughts on Mentoring

These principles/philosophies have guided my mentoring process for the past 13 years of internships & mentoring programs.

1. I Invite.
–I reach out and invite individuals to join the mentoring process (internship for example).

2. I lead spiritually.
- I can't be driven by just the task of the day or the immediate need.  I must Shepherd them spiritually.

3.  I consistently Value & Affirm.
- This builds relationships and eventually gives me permission to speak into the life of the young leader.

4. I work beside.
- I get to teach and help them learn how to task & work efficiently.

5. I empower.

-I invest my authority and release the young leader to do the same job.

Not to mention the fact i knew someone that i had been close to as close as havin a relationship with they saw to be unfit personal reasons such as should not interfer with reasons for what i wanted with god but they shunned me and put me out on the streets god has no part in what choice they made and i seen what could be if one is miserable and doesnt have her company but sits back and watches others who love one another no matter their situation decides to cut off the welbeing of one due to their perssonal beleifs un fare judgemental hypoceitical and astonishing behavior from one who claims to have a pwrsonal relationship with the lord .where was the lord when she made that decision to put a wpman in need of help noatter the cause out back alone on the street...tell me was jesus present at her decisionaling i think not
