Book excerpt: Ministry Book of the Year--The Gospel Coalition 2017 Book Awards The critical missing element in Christian mentoring today: the congregation "Bringing up future leaders isn't just the job of the pastor but of the whole congregation. This is an urgently needed book in churches today." --R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Young, emerging leaders of the church, many of whom have gone through leadership training and traditional mentorship programs, still too often find themselves unprepared for the realities of ministry. Many leave the ministry altogether, overwhelmed. Phil Newton reveals a critical gap: single-source mentorship is incomplete. Mentoring must involve the congregation, not just senior pastors, in order to bring forth mature, resilient leaders prepared for all that ministry entails. The solid, practical solutions in The Mentoring Church offer churches of any size both the vision for mentoring future leaders and a workable template to follow. With insightful consideration of theological, historical, and contemporary training models for pastor/church partnerships, Newton is a reliable guide to developing a church culture that equips fully prepared leaders.

Download or read book Mentoring Companionship written by Freddy Lay and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rooted in a wide range of examples of companion mentoring in scripture, Mentoring Companionship, by author Freddy Lay, develops a compelling vision for how close companionship can strengthen mentoring relationships in ways that provide mutual encouragement and support. It gives a foundation for developing a mentoring companionship framework not just for church, but also for other spheres of life. The message focuses on companion mentoring, in which paired individuals or groups support each another in their ministry roles. Primarily directed at church leaders, Mentoring Companionship encourages them away from depictions of themselves as powerful solo figures toward a more cooperative and supportive model of ministry, oriented around the greater goal of faithfulness to Christ. Throughout twelve chapters, Lay’s biblically focused study highlights the importance of ensuring church leaders engage in companionship mentoring to benefit from mutual support and accountability and to counter the loneliness and isolation so many leaders in ministry often experience. Based on his many years of experience in ministry leadership in Indonesia, Lay provides a wealth of suggestions and personal experiences to underlie his analysis of the importance of companion mentoring.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this DMin project was to engage in qualitative research in equipping senior leaders at First Baptist Church of Merced in leadership behaviors that would cultivate potential leaders. The study was successful in producing people who were cultivated with effective leadership behaviors for potential leadership positions by equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions. For the process to be undertaken subsequently in this researcher’s congregation, the first Leadership Lab and the book studied during the mentoring phase needed to change. For other congregations to benefit from the process, additional instructions would need to be provided. Even under its current form, the project accomplished all of its goals. The project utilized a multi-phased approach to methodology. There was a survey and focus group discussion preceding a Leadership Lab involving the people in existing senior leadership positions. The purpose of the first phase was equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions with the skill necessary to equip others. In the second phase, the people in existing senior leadership positions recruited mentees to cultivate them for effective leadership behaviors in potential leadership positions. A “Field Guide” was provided for the mentors, and data were recorded through bi-weekly meetings of the researcher with the mentors and “Field Guides,” “Leadership Profiles,” focus groups, and formal and informal interviews. The results were evaluated, and modifications for future use were presented.

Summary Our journeys are unique, and as we get older we should be better able to help shape the following generations using our gifts and experience. Yet many would-be mentors aren't so sure about how to go about this. Past failures, pride, insecurity, lack of confidence and opportunity in a fragmented Western culture that prizes individualism have helped create seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Reliance on programs and the professionalization of ministry have tended to hinder more natural connections between the generations; systems and organizational expertise may have grown, but often at the expense of personal discipleship. Drawing on 30 years of ministry experience in four churches across three countries, my aim is to help you consider how you can better mentor an increasingly isolated generation of older teenagers and young adults – those aged roughly between 18 and 30 years. Please find attached the three tables/illustrations for chapter 4; you can print these off if helpful. By reading this you will: 1. Gain a better understanding of the history of mentoring, and its biblical basis. 2. Better appreciate typical hindrances to effective mentoring. 3. Consider biblical characters who mentored others, and how they point us to Christ. 4. Gain clarity regarding your own unique skills, interests and knowledge. 5. Understand the components essential to a solid mentoring relationship. 6. Recognize how you can start to invest practically in young adults, and put yourself at God's disposal to help them. B. Reviews Amazon #5/5 I am in my 6th decade now, and can affirm that the mentors I had in the true faith and practice were mainly distant or dead Christian authors. I have been throughout the spectrum of Bible-believing congregations from Brethren to home church, Southern Baptist to Church of Nigeria, Community churches to the worldwide Anglican Communion, &c. So, I will be reading the rest of this book with great interest. It appears to be spot on, but physical age has nothing to do with spiritual maturity. There is a great lack of spiritual maturity in our congregations, among the members, regarding our organizational operations, our committees, our elders, our pastors, our outreach to the community, and the flood of worldliness in our language and practices. I'm open to hearing someone experienced explain about how to do this biblically and soundly. So I will be back to continue or amend a review. Shame on all the cowards in my Christian walk who basically abandoned me in their pursuit of worldly affluence, power, foreign missions, etc. The first mission field is the family and local church, IMO. Lord have mercy. Gralan #4/5 I've been a mentoring pastor for 40 years in the States, and have met Fraser personally. I've seen first hand how he lives his life with authentic grace, invitation for organic hospitality with his life and home, and how he very naturally mentors relationally. He has now put in layman's terms, with biblical depth, the historical basis, critical lost art, and helpful steps toward a mentoring lifestyle, whether you are in the church or outside in your neighborhood and workplace. He answers our doubts, questions, and negligent busy-ness to free us to organically shape key lives around us-- and we all have them. Thank you, Fraser for giving us the time to reflect on the shapers evident in our lives, the fundamentals of how to incorporate mentoring, and the awareness to see what we're losing by not being purposeful mentors to a few key people-- that are already waiting to be asked. Pat Harrison #5/5 A practical, hands-on guide to mentoring with lots of opportunity to pause for self-reflection. As someone who personally benefited from the author's guidance and encouragement in becoming a mentor, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Suzy J Scribd # 5/5 Short, sweet and to the point. It’s not exhaustive or a how-to manual on mentoring by any means, but it’s a great reminder that discipleship and mentoring is how we are to do church together. Whether pairing up with those who are younger (as is the primary relationship covered in the book) or simply someone who is younger in the faith as you, we are all to walk together in our goal to be more like Jesus. spencerdanielj #2/5 Needs to be structured Better. Alot of "don't" advice versus do. Bernard Sia

Thus, the problems addressed how mentoring opportunities for young pastors are imperative for church leadership and its connection between mentoring and church healthy growth. This project uses quantitative and descriptive methodological approach in order to gain a balanced understanding for sustaining healthy growing of the church in Lagos East Baptist Conference (LEBC) through mentoring of young ministers for healthy church and leadership development. It is a descriptive survey and a cross-sectional study designed for demographic and attitudinal data collection, on the role of mentoring young ministers on healthy growth of the church. This research focused on 78 selected churches in LEBC and addressed the manner in which their unique worldview has shaped their mentoring preferences. It studies the nature of mentoring young pastors and the nature of mentoring platform needed for them to play this vital role in the church. As part of this research, current literature on the Christian mentoring principle and practice were reviewed and related to the growth of the church. It used case study research design and cases chosen represented a traditional and a hybrid approach to mentoring. It evaluated data collected from one-on-one focused interviews according to three hypotheses: a) Most healthy churches have pastors who have godly mentors. b) Mentored pastors are organic factors in healthy sustainability of any church, and c) Pastors who are not mentored after their Seminary and Bible college training with a mentoring relationship where life experiences are mutually shared and processed tend to be detrimental to himself, family and ministry. The research found that mentoring is a hallmark to healthy church growth, and recommend denominational multiple mentoring opportunities like character formation; emotional intelligence; and skills and organizational capabilities development that meet the needs of pastors and proposed for further research on mentoree turning against their mentors.
