There are two schools in life ­-- the school of experience and the school of example.

The wise student understands that the school of example offers gentler lessons!

Mentoring provides that rare opportunity to learn from the wisdom and example of another.

Mentors utilize their own wisdom and experience to help others mature faster and with less risk than would otherwise be the case.

In Mentoring Future Leaders, leadership coach and renowned researcher George Barna will be joined by mentoring experts, Bob Shank and Carson Pue, to explore the benefits that mentoring brings to ministry.

“As church leaders strive to enhance the leadership skills and performance of their colleagues in ministry… the use of coaches has become more prolific,”says George Barna. “Knowing who to involve in the process, what to expect, and how to resource these [mentoring relationships] is an important task for pastors and other ministry directors.”

In this CCN live broadcast, ministry leaders discover the fundamentals of effective mentoring in a ministry setting:

• What makes a good mentor?
• What value can a mentor add to your ministry?
• How does a leader identify individuals with a gift for mentoring?
• How can mentors use their abilities to lift the quality level of a ministry?
• What constitutes success in mentoring?
