What is the Power-Up Mentorship Program?
This Mentorship Program pairs Mentees with a Mentor who is more experienced in living a Godly life.
Mentors advise and serve as examples as they assist their Mentee in advancing in his goals. Mentors acts as a guide and trusted advisor while imparting skill and knowledge. The source of the word mentor means a trusted friend or teacher, usually a more experienced person.
Mentorship is not about solving complex life challenges like substance abuse, divorce or addiction.
Mentorship is not counselling.
Mentorship is about serving as an example and showing the love of Jesus Christ.
