Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (NIV).

 

In Christian mentoring, not only will the person being mentored grow in their faith, but the person doing the mentoring will grow as well. God uses the mentoring relationship to strengthen the faith of everyone involved.

 

Mentoring also helps people put their faith into action. Lots of people have the desire to live out their faith, share Jesus with their family and friends, or tackle some of the tougher issues of life, but they lack the tools to get started. Once mentoring becomes a regular part of your life, your own walk with God will become more dynamic and exciting. Why? Because this is part of God’s plan for how you grow.
