So your church finally has a pipeline of mentors waiting in the wings to take a handoff. But what if the handoff fails?
Talking Points:
- Handoffs aren’t always going to work. Expect some measure of failure.
- Even if handoffs aren’t working, keep meeting with your team of mentors. Train, practice, pray, and encourage.
- In the meantime, encourage everyone to mentor at home (using the PG tools). Staff members must also commit to this.
Discussion Questions
- What jumped out at you in this topic?
