MEQ Perth.

Peter Moore will be working alongside Barbara Podmore in offering the John Mark Ministries three year mentor equipping training program to West Australians starting in August 2023.

The program was originally developed by Rev Les Scarborough of John Mark Ministries and it has been more recently updated and improved by Tim Dyer of John Mark Extension as well as Peter Moore and Sally Jones of MEQ, Sydney.

The program is ideal for both paid and unpaid Christian leaders who wish to grow in the vital ministry of mentoring.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES.

The program has ten objectives.

  • To internalise a vision for mentoring others into ministry, leadership and maturity.
  • To develop an understanding of the Biblical basis and theology of mentoring.
  • To engage personal spiritual formation as a leader and mentor.
  • To relate with integrity within the dynamics of a mentoring relationship.
  • To acquire and refine the interpersonal skills essential in mentoring.
  • To implement a 1 year model of mentoring with 2-5 mentorees.
  • To collate and develop personal, leadership and ministry resources for use in mentoring.
  • To complete the action-reflection learning assignments in mentoring.
  • To allow mentoring to be shaped under supervision.
  • To cultivate a sustainable personal style and ministry of mentoring.
  • THREE YEARS OF TRAINING UNDER SUPERVISION BY EXPERIENCED MENTORS.

    Each year of the program involves five days of workshops: a three day residential workshop (in year one at New Norcia), and a two day non residential workshop (at Dalkeith Anglican). The course focus is on providing a practical and powerful model of mentoring.

    As the participants undertake their own mentoring, they are supervised and supported by their trainers Peter and Barbara who are both mentors with years of experience and backgrounds in training. Peter or Barbara would also be happy to meet with you by Zoom or in person (Barbara) to explore the possibilities.

    Equipping Congregational Mentors

    The model, applied in a local ministry setting, has the potential for profound cultural change in how men and women support and encourage each other as disciples eg in your local church.
