A Must Mentoring is a word that we are hearing more and more today. There have always been mentors, but it is being stressed more today and with good reason. Real mentors are very unselfish people who want to see their followers excel, even to the point of going beyond the mentor. Mentors coach, train, and convey skill and wisdom to those they lead. They endeavor to transfer knowledge and skills and give the followers an area in which to use it.
Mentors make their followers accountable.
They follow up on them and correct them when they are wrong. Mentors introduce their followers to others who can further their development and success. The great lack of mentoring in the church is a glaring area of opportunity in which we can excel and become far more proficient. Mentoring takes time, commitment, and dedication, but when it is done, the rewards are resounding. You must put yourself under a mentor and allow them to give you direction.
