You are a blessing.
We all have a story to tell. It’s time to share yours and make a difference.
“There is a primary sense in which all Christians are “called”, for Jesus Christ is Lord over all of life, over every task, over every endeavor. But there is another sense in which only some are “called” to fulfill those special responsibilities and ministries set forth in Scripture on which the life and order of the church directly depend.”
“You are not your own; you are under orders. And the One who has drafted you and signed your orders expects that you carry them out in a manner worthy of Him, and in such a way that His authority and His kingdom cannot be ignored. Now go, labor, work, and do your duty well knowing that it is the greatest privilege under heaven to be in the personal service of the Almighty.”
Mentorship is a great responsibility… and an even greater blessing. At PHF, we believe that a desire to mentor, pastor, counsel, or lead begins with a calling from the Lord or an appointing, often in the form of a strong desire that you just can’t shake. When God places a specific calling on our lives, there is no greater honor or joy than to step into it. When He blesses us with specific gifts, we glorify Him by using them. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” We believe that as we pray and seek the Lord, the gifts He gives us align with the desires of our hearts. Psalm 27:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Is it your desire to serve our younger generation? Has God give you the gift to teach, exhort, share wisdom, shepherd, or lead (or others)? If you are not sure, ask God! 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 says, “These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
What does it take to be a mentor?
God calls each and every one of us to live a holy life. 2 Timothy 1:10 says, “He has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.” He also calls us to live righteously as believers regardless of our assignment (1 Corinthians 7:17: “Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.”) If it is your heart’s desire to serve, if you feel God calling you, or if you have a spiritual gift to share, we hope you consider volunteering as a mentor with Pray Her Forward. We invite you to experience the unsurpassable joy of surrendering to that “still small voice” despite that fear from the enemy (which is often how you know the calling is from God!) We invite you to trust that He equips the unequipped, that you should not have “all the answers,” and that “My God will richly supply your every need in a glorious way.” (Philippians 4:19)
Titus 2:3-8
“Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.”
