Greetings!
Upon entering the world, a new baby needs certain things to assure a happy, healthy future--food, warmth, love and nurture, etc. The same is true for a new Christian. It is important that a new believer in Christ obtains certain critical items for life support.
He must find a mentor who will provide personal care and guidance. He must get connected to a community of believers (the church). And, he must become part of a small group. Without these three life support systems a new Christian may become malnutritioned, anemic or even die of starvation.
You will play an important role in helping the person you are mentoring find a healthy church and small group in which he can be a part. As you review the material with the person you are mentoring gently guide him through the process of finding a new church home and a small group Bible study. |
