Experience the Joy
of being an MDI Mentor
MDI believes that God has strategically placed ministry leaders around the world to care for others. These leaders face unique challenges, and often have few or none in their lives that understand the intricacies of leadership, ministry, family, personal and spiritual life - and how they’re all intertwined. With these unique stressors comes high levels of burnout.
As mentors, we have the opportunity to see leaders grow in their skills, increase in confidence and more effectively carry out their God-given mission.
BENEFITS OF MENTORING
Building
You get to build upon your own leadership skills, resume/CV and professional & personal network.
Learning
You get to enter into a reciprocal learning environment with your co-mentor and leader.
Growing
You get to grow your spiritual community and lifelong friendships, locally and abroad.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We begin with an Integrated Mentoring and Consulting (IMC) methodology that allows us to serve the individual leader, the ministry and interconnection of presenting issues in both. Through a determined engagement cycle, mentor teams help leaders to develop within one or more of the six core competencies of ministry - leadership, strategy, board development, operations, fundraising strategy and program development.
Mentors are matched with ministry leaders according to their skill sets, interests and availability; and equipped with proven ministry tools to build a well-run ministry and help ensure ministry leaders are thriving.
