Mentoring Matters: Dave's Story
“I can think of several people who have had a significant impact on my life. In several cases, these people were youth leaders. In other cases, they were pastors overseeing internships in which I was involved. With each of them, they stressed the importance of my personal relationship with God. They strongly encouraged me in my ministry pursuits. They gave me opportunities to grow and learn. They encouraged me when I tried new things and gave honest feedback. And they spent lots of time with me, hanging out, talking about things that were important to me, asking me thought-provoking questions. All of these things discipled me in my relationship with Christ."
