Thank you for your financial and prayer support this past year.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0We are grateful since both are needed to keep moving Biblical Mentoring and our mission of \u201cTraining Reproducing Disciples<\/strong>\u201d forward.<\/p>\n

BiblicalMentoring.org<\/em><\/strong> encourages and equips mentors and mentees (trainers and trainees) who are actively engaged in 30\u201340-minute weekly phone training sessions which are centered on memorizing a key verse plus reading and interpreting the Bible as we apply its teachings to our daily lives.\u00a0 The Spirit is our teacher, i.e., the trainer, while the participants are students.<\/p>\n

You can read some testimonials on our Testimonial webpage.\u00a0 What matters most is what they have to testify of the benefits.<\/p>\n

Please go to BiblicalMentoring.org<\/strong><\/a> to learn more about our ministry.\u00a0\u00a0 I have an Updates<\/strong> webpage to help keep intercessors, donors, friends and family keep up-to-date with our progress and needs.<\/p>\n

The emphasis of Biblical Mentoring is on training<\/strong> participants for lifelong discipleship thus prioritizing multiplication in addition to developing spiritual growth. The mentorship nurtures individuals responding to Jesus\u2019 call, guiding them to become disciples who reproduce trained disciple-makers<\/strong> as we are instructed to be in Matthew 28. Thus, we revised our mission recently to focus on training and reproduction or the training of others.\u00a0 It is now Training Reproductive Disciples.<\/p>\n

We share God\u2019s Truth from the Bible to reconcile others to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit within an active and ongoing personal ministry context. \u00a0This model has worked well for several years. Praying for each other\u2019s personal needs at the end of the phone session proves to be more valuable than we realized as we seek to offer relational support to each other. \u00a0We are helping with the pandemic of loneliness.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal is to teach, model, and multiply the craft of being a lifelong student who mentors, trains, and coaches disciple-making disciples.\u00a0 With the help of WhatsApp, we can even do this globally.<\/p>\n

We have worked with 70 or more participants so far adding a few more each year. \u00a0Only some of these would be considered trained to train others. \u00a0About 15 individuals are currently active either weekly or monthly.\u00a0 A few of these are training a trainee whom they recruit.\u00a0 This is obviously the ultimate goal for everyone we mentor. \u00a0We are adding two or three more trainees each month.\u00a0 My personal goal is to see 100 trained disciple-makers actively reproducing themselves by the time I turn in my badge.<\/p>\n

We use the life-to-life model of discipleship training which is simple and effective.\u00a0 There is usually no curriculum other than the Scriptures.\u00a0 We have decided to start each new trainee in the study titled:\u00a0 Training Disciples to Train<\/em><\/strong> using Scriptures plus a book titled The Making of a Disciple<\/u><\/em><\/strong> by Keith Philips written when he was the President of World Impact, Inc.<\/p>\n

Two popular sets of memory verses\/studies are the Gospel of John<\/em><\/strong> and Romans<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0We now offer twelve completed sets of memory verses<\/strong> as you can see on our Memory Verses webpage and are adding several new sets such as Top Fifty Psalms; Acts; Hebrews; The Prison Epistles and The Cost of Discipleship.<\/p>\n
