The characteristics of Mentor/Disciple relationships will vary depending on the personalities of the Disciple and the Mentor and the Disciple’s needs. Similar interests and/or work habits may promote good relationships. However, one of the key characteristics of a successful Mentor/Disciple relationship is trust. Disciples must be assured that the Mentor has their best interests at heart, and that what they tell the Mentor will be kept confidential. As such, the relationship between them is exclusive and will hopefully outlive the time spent in Mission Discipleship. Mentors are also often judged in light of the success of their former Disciples, so the Disciple’s success will be important to the Mentor.

To facilitate a strong Mentor/Disciple relationship, Mentors must clearly communicate his/her expectations with the Disciple. The boundaries in the relationship must be clearly stated at the outset and be consistent with each interaction. Because the Mentor provides constructive criticism, the Mentor must clearly explain the reasoning behind decisions that affect the Disciple, in order to allay any fears that could erode the mentoring relationship.

Disciples are encouraged to select a Mentor who is a good role model: To look for someone you can admire and respect, as well as emulate.

Disciples are encouraged to select a Mentor who is a good listener: The best Mentor is one who gets to the Disciple – their skills and strengths and weaknesses, their individual personality and aspirations. A good Mentor should not serve as a lecturer, but as a sounding board who will help a Disciple with their struggles and help them clarify their principles and beliefs.

Disciples are encouraged to select a Mentor who is honest with them: A good Mentor doesn’t just encourage, but will also tell a Disciple the blunt truth, in love, when the Disciple is moving in the wrong direction. It is also a good sign if the Mentor is candid and open about his or her own life. Anyone who has accomplished great things has made mistakes along the way and will share those experiences freely so that the Disciples can learn from them.

Disciples are encouraged to look for someone who is unlike them in some important way: Our tendency is to gravitate toward those with whom we have a lot in common. But in seeking out a Mentor, it is wise to seek out people who have strengths that we lack. For example, if you are a shy and introverted person, seek out someone who is bold and gregarious. Instead of pairing up with someone who will reinforce your weaknesses, find someone who will challenge you to acquire new strengths.

Mentor Qualifications:

1. Fill out an application form and Mission Discipleship covenant agreement.
2. Be in regular non-superficial fellowship with people in a congregation, or home group setting.
3. Be a baptized believer and follower of Messiah.
4. Agree to Mission Discipleship’s Core Values & Statement of Faith.
5. Have a thriving personal relationship with the Lord.
6. Go through Mission Discipleship’s Mentor training program.
7. Be willing to commit to a six month mentoring relationship with a disciple.

Mentors give encouragement; are accountability partners; monitor progress; and pray.  Disciples choose the mentors they want to learn from.  There will be an online meeting process to see if there’s compatibility. Men will disciple men.  Women will disciple women.

One on one discipleship is the biblical model for discipleship.  Discipleship is a commission that was given to all believers, not just to pastors. We’re to share our faith, and lives with each other.  Mentoring helps activate the people in the body, and makes us all fruitful.

MENTOR TRAINING TESTIMONIALS

“Mission Discipleship’s mentor training has helped to define boundaries as a mentor, with the purpose of keeping the focus on the Holy Spirit as the one to turn to. I like to teach, so this is important for me. The training also gave a reminder of the need to be making disciples and refreshed me about how essential this is to walking out one’s faith. I am excited about Mission Discipleship and how it will help people make an impact in the world around them.”  – Jeff Ringer, Phoenix, AZ

“Mission Discipleship has helped me to renew my awareness of why I desire to be a witness for Jesus Christ. The studies and videos enable me to sharpen my skills and stay focused on the things that are really important in my walk with the Lord. And, therefore I am better equipped and more confident in reaching out to help others.” – JoeAnn Bozeman, Tulsa, OK

“I’ve found the mentor training curriculum to be a blessing. The training had me look at some simple biblical concepts and then challenged me with the question “How does this look in your life?” The Holy Spirit is involved in the lessons. He made aware of areas where I could do better, and then He showed me how. I’m looking forward to being a Mentor with Mission Discipleship. I believe it will continue to help me to grow, and show me how to help others grow too.”   – Julee Kasserman, Columbia, SC
