A Women’s Mentor in the Care Ministry is one who is identified and trained to “partner” with another woman in the church for encouragement, support, and guidance through a season of challenging issues. A Mentor will be equipped to identify some of the physical, spiritual, emotional or relational stumbling blocks that have led to this period of difficulty, and she will aim to coach her partner in the skill sets needed to find freedom in her circumstances. The goal is for the Mentor to help her partner find a clearer path along her journey, one of new freedom in Christ, and one that brings glory to God. It should be noted that a mentor is not a counsellor.
