\"Mentoring<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of different ways that you can implement a Mentoring Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many in fact that you may find it confusing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentoring comes in all shapes and sizes. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as women have different needs, so do churches. I am praying God will clearly direct your team as you seek His will for your Mentoring Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Mentoring Ministries fall into one of these five categories:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. Mentoring Teens<\/strong> \u2013 Teenage girls and older women are intentionally paired up for a defined amount of time (often for the school year or through high school).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Structured Mentoring<\/strong> \u2013 Usually consists of a 6, 9, or 12-month program. Women are prayerfully paired after completing a profile sheet. A structured program is followed and there is a definitive beginning and end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mentor Only Training<\/strong> \u2013 Women who have the desire to mentor other women are trained and equipped. Women are encouraged to prayerfully seek out other women that are interested in being mentored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Organic<\/strong> \u2013 God-directed women seeking out one another. There is little structure and no start\/end dates. The focus is on \u201cdoing life together\u201d and each mentoring relationship is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Match Maker<\/strong> – Women call or email to request a mentor. The leader prayerfully seeks out a woman to mentor her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may already have an idea of what type of program God is calling your team to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be one of the above or a blend of two or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mentoring Ministry Team had an idea of what type of mentoring program we felt would most benefit the women in our church. To launch our ministry we wanted to find a book that we could use during our Sunday evening Discipleship Classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team gathered approximately 10 different books on mentoring. We divided up the reading, took good notes, and then met to discuss the pros and cons of each method over several weeks. Yes, it was a lot of work, but it was worth it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure where to start your research?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’ve taken the initial list of books we reviewed and have included it below. Women Connecting with Women, is the book we ultimately chose to use for that Discipleship class. However, we gathered and gleaned great information from almost every piece of material reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic Mentoring is one that I have not personally read. However, it comes highly recommended by several leaders I know. The author delves into what older\/younger women are looking for in a mentoring program. Good food for thought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update:<\/strong> Since writing this original post<\/strong>, I have had the opportunity to review Growing Together <\/a>and Disciple Her<\/a>, both of which I would recommend. Click the titles to read my reviews.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
