Hello OAV Family!
Can you believe we are already two weeks into 2021? We have no idea what will be around the corner this year, but we do know we all should be developing other leaders!
This year, the PAD is asking all of our OAV’s to prayerfully ask God to point out ONE person that we can each MENTOR. ONE in 2021!
It is nice to think that we can serve forever, but the reality is that we all have limits, and we should all be mentoring others to grow the ministry and take our place.
The PAD wants to help with this process, so we will provide articles, ideas, and we will ask you to share with us who you feel God has placed on your heart to mentor.
Reminder: The first step was to … PRAY! Asking God to guide you to ONE person that you could invest in during the 2021 year to help expand our OAV team and grow new leaders. Praying intentionally for the first two weeks of January. Daily asking God to point out to you, who you could mentor.
By the end of January 2021, we ask that you email the secretaries the name of the individual God has helped you pick to invest in. (If you have already done so, THANK YOU!) Reminder: BEFORE sending in the name, you should have contacted that person, asked them if you could meet monthly with them, and if they would like you to be their mentor.
WE ask that you would meet with this person at least ONCE a month (goal is a minimum of 10 times in 2021). Your mentee can help you with planning, running an event, meeting with your team; consider all that you do and decide which activities would be ideal opportunities for you to share what you know with them.
Another step is … LEARN! We will share something with you every month to encourage/inspire you. And, as you discover your own resources, please share them with us, so we can share them with the OAV family.
Here is your first monthly installment – January 2021 – a pdf to get us all thinking about mentoring. Click Here
We are praying for you as you begin this journey of prayerfully asking God who you can mentor/develop and as we learn together how to serve best.
