God is calling his body, the church, to step up and… represent his fathering love to a fatherless generation of children and youth. And he is giving us opportunities to answer the call. This is the heart of mentoring. Mentoring is about answering God’s call, joining with him as he rewrites the broken story of a generation. Mentoring mirrors God’s heart… God is taking the initiative and choosing to invest our time and energy into the life of a child or young person.
