Girls Ministry Ideas- Mentoring

When it comes to girls ministry ideas one of the big things you need to consider is some type of mentoring program.  We often refer to this as discipleship.  This is something we are commanded to do, but in referring to it in this way I think we get a better picture of what disicpleship really is. It is about doing life together.  The girls in your ministry need people doing life with them. This means they show them how to do things, invite into their day to day lives, and have spiritual conversations along the way.  These relationships are vital in the maturing process of the girls you minister to. Ideally this happens at home with a mom or female caregiver but this may not be the case.  This is when you have to go out and find someone to fill this role.  There is no prototype for who would fill this role the best so just think outside the box.  The key is that they can stay committed and are spiritually mature.  Everything else is pretty negotiable.  So if you are not doing this yet make this your next step. Get out there and help build mentoring relationships for the girls in your ministry.
