Mentoring Matters: Laverne's Story
Espie was new in the faith when we met. She and I met weekly for discipleship, spending time in the Word, prayer, and sharing what was happening in her life. As she grew in her faith, she began to disciple other young ladies. She also accompanied me as we visited in homes and to Bible Studies. She taught me much about the culture and she learned ministry as she went with me. Eventually she joined the church team and has continued in ministry overseas.
