Mentoring

Ladies...some of the women in the congregation have taken very seriously John's invitation for them to mentor us. They are, however, a little overwhelmed with what that means. As I discussed this with several of them, we thought that perhaps it means different things for each of us. They are actively working to facilitate getting mentors and mentees together, but would love some feedback.

What are you hoping to get out of a mentoring relationship?
  • An in-town "Mom"?
  • Advice?
  • Companionship?
  • Organized bible study?
  • Guidance with raising children or loving your husband?
  • Prayer time?

Please try to verbalize what you're hoping for so that they'll know better how to proceed. Right now, they're planning a possible "speed-dating" evening for mentors and mentees! Having questions ready may really help you decide whom you'd like to attempt to connect with!

Thanks!

Jenny

I guess my short answer would be, "yes!" because these are the things my mom did for me when I lived back home! (She still does from a distance... but it would be better in person).
I look forward to the meeting next Wednesday. I assume it's for future mentors and mentees?
