Our Mentoring Perspective:  

Ecclesiastes 4

⁹ Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

¹⁰ If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

¹² Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

• – Everyone should be mentored
• – Everyone should mentor
• – Mentoring should impart “tools” rather than just perspectives, so the mentored will be able to “self help”, continuing to grow their spirits, marriage, & purpose
• – Mentoring should have a clear set of parameters & goals at the outset, e.g. duration & what the mentors would like to cover and what the mentorees hope to gain insight with.
• – Mentoring should by and large be couple w/ couple, on rare occasion man w/ man, woman w/woman, never one to one opposite sex.
• – Mentors should be matched w/ mentorees for similarities for maximum effectiveness but be otherwise not familiar w/ each other.
• – The mentored should plan to be available to mentor others.
