Friday night my daughter asked a woman in our church to mentor her. We discussed this ahead of time and prayed about who she would ask to help her think about her relationship with God. I was very supportive of her decision and encouraged her to step out in this way.
I expect that over the next 10 months my daughter will meet with her mentor in restaurants, home or coffee shops to disciple her and spend time encouraging her in her activities whether it be sports or service activities. The important principle for a Christian mentor is to walk with our child as he or she grows and becomes like Christ. I want my daughter's mentor to encourage her to bear God's image more fully.
