Life Stages

Mentoring

Investing in girls lives.

"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." - Titus 2:3-5

Mentoring

Mentoring means using the wisdom that comes from life’s experiences to help others who are encountering similar experiences in their lives. Christian mentors share how God guides, supports, counsels, and consoles, in both good and bad times.

Responsibilities of the Mentor

Count the Cost of Investing in Girls’ Lives, Realizing that girls are looking for women who want to be consistent in their lives.

  1. Do you have the time to spend each week with a teenage girl?
  2. Will this commitment leave time for your own family?
  3. Are you willing to love the girl unconditionally through good times and bad?

Meet at Least Once a Week

Keep In Touch With Your Girl During the Week. Make a phone call, write a note, send an email, or text message.

Pray for the Girl on a Daily Basis asking her each week for prayer requests.

Encourage Dependence on God Holding Girls Accountable For Their Daily Quiet Time, taking time each week to ask her if she has been consistent in her quiet time, prayer, and scripture memory.

Holding Girl Accountable on Other Areas in her Life. As a mentor your role is to speak truth into the lives of girls because you are more interested in their holiness than their happiness. The following questions are some suggestions for ways to hold girls accountable:

  1. What did you learn from God’s Word this week
  2. How did you guard your heart and emotions this week?
  3. How did you develop your godly character this week?
  4. Were you honest about all of the above when answering?

Keep a Sense of Humor in Working With Girls It is important to keep a balance between holding them accountable/teaching them and have fun together.
