There are no Orientation / Kickoffs scheduled at this time. The next event will be in 2008.

•  We will make a six-month commitment to the mentoring relationship.

•  We will contact each other once a week and meet a minimum of twice a month.

•  We will pray for each other and ask the Lord to deepen our bond of friendship.

•  We will do things together like work on spiritual disciplines, learn a new skill, attend church functions (retreats, seminars, or women's activities).

•  We will take walks together, go out for a meal or coffee together, and spend time in each others' homes.

•  We will make an effort to keep our relationship ongoing, consistent, and fun.

•  We will always ask God to be a part of our relationship and to bless it.

•  We will take our relationship seriously and make time for it in our schedules.

•  We will keep our sharing confidential "just between the two of us" unless we agree it is OKAY to share with someone else.

•  We will talk only about ourselves.

•  We are committed.

If I am matched into a one-on-one relationship and participate in the mentoring ministry, I understand and agree to abide by the following courtesies. I realize that I am an imperfect creation, and I cannot honor these experiences by myself. Therefore, I will continuously seek the Lord's help through prayer and petition. With His assurance and strength . . .

I WILL return phone calls from my mentor and mentee and any woman who calls me from the mentoring ministry - remembering that they are:
     • taking time out of their schedule to call and encourage me,
     • tell me they are praying for me, invite me to a function in my honor, or
     • just let me know they care as does the entire ministry team.

I WILL call back my Prayer Warrior, who is on her knees praying specifically for me during my six-month covenant relationship.

I WILL reply in a timely manner to every notice I receive that asks for an RSVP, whether or not I can attend.

I WILL make it a priority to attend the Half-time Refresher.

I WILL consider it the highest honor to be invited to the Six-Month Potluck Celebration at the end of my formal mentoring covenant, and will attend this festive occasion planned just for me.

I WILL call my Prayer Warrior, or someone else on the Administrative Team if I am having any problems or have questions about my mentoring relationship. Giving up on the relationship will never be an option.

I WILL pray and also ask others to pray for me that I can continue to learn His ways and be the Christian woman that would please the Lord. I will strive to be a woman who honors her commitments, thinks of others before herself, and loves her neighbor as herself.
