Mentoring
Theological
concepts
Life
of Jesus Christ - model for
Christians worthy of imitation
"Follow me" is the call to us in
our spiritual life.
Our life is to be like Christ (Luke
6:40); obey His commands
(Matt.28:19-20).
 Paul
stresses the imitative nature
of mentoring (1 Thess.1:6-7),
(2 Tim.2:2);
 Predestined to be conformed to
the likeness of Jesus (Rom.8:29),
 Attaining to the whole measure
of the fullness of Christ (Eph.4:13).

Christlikeness is a growth process - mature
and increase our God-given capacities.

Paul also emphasizes the "handing down"
aspect (1Cor.11:23-24) -

- the transmission of teaching from one
person to another, past to future;

- passing of the faith and His grace; handing
down wisdom & skills through generations.
 Spiritual
formation - requires
mentorship of the heart; a relationship
with a teacher of life; a way of life that
is formed; a life shared by people who
have learned that spiritual music is
sung in its own way.
 Nurturing
our lives of faith - spending
time with experienced and wise
mentors.
Togetherness
- community of
believers helping each other in
spiritual maturity; discover our
identity in the context of
community; learn best
together with help of others.

Mentoring - investment in the life of others

Mentoring - a relationship built up with a
person used by God to:

- change the course of your life,

- redirecting your path at a critical moment,

- have a lasting personal influence &
impression in your life.
 Mentoring
is a life changing life,
or life shaping life, relationship for
the benefit of each other,
 - in the light of the work of the
Holy Spirit,
 - for the glory of God.
 "As iron sharpens iron, so one
man sharpens another"
(Prov.27:17)

Motivating factors of Mentorship:

- to promote personal growth

- to provide a model for mentoree to follow

- to help mentoree reach his goal more
efficiently

- to influence mentoree so that he would in
turn influence others
(2 Tim.2:2).
Mentoring
is a life-guiding ,
problem-solving, and goalorienting activity,
with the ultimate outcome of
pointing others to the direction
of Jesus Christ.
