  And what you have heard from me in the presence of many wit-nesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

MISSION/VALUES THE MENTOR
MISSION:
COME ALONGSIDE PASTORS TO NAVIGATE OBSTACLES AND MANEUVER THE MAZE OF MINISTRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR CALLING..
VALUES:
INTEGRITY -

Proverbs 10:9 ESV, Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.  Where am I in alignment with God’s word?
Where is there misalignment? How will I bring alignment back? 
VALUE PEOPLE -                                                                                                             
John 3:16,

Who will I add value to today? 
PRESENCE OF GOD -                                                                                      
R. T. Kendall writes, “I have discerned by trial and error that the more conscious I am of God’s presence the more I feel like being myself. The less conscious I am of His presence the more I feel the need to prove myself. But the more I am myself the greater my liberty.”1 Become a person of presence by cultivating the presence of God in your life. People will not only see the difference, they will feel the difference in you. His presence transforms. Psalm 16:11 reminds you that in His presence “there is fullness of joy.”  Pray for and with those you are mentoring.  Have I connected with God today? 
YOUR CALLING -                                                                                          
You work a job, you build a career,
but a calling is bigger than you, it is from God. Am I living and growing in my calling? 
GROWTH -                                                                                                           
If I grow I can help others to grow!
Paul to Timothy, 1 Timothy 4:7, Train yourself for godliness.                       
Where do I need to grow personally?  Where are you growing today?  In what areas do you need to grow?
