Who's Your Mentor?
We are all looking someone who will support us, encourage us, and inspire us to become more then we ever thought we could be. Were the words that we spoke today, to everyone that we talked to, speaking life or death into their lives?
Were we a mentor to someone, an encourager, or a burden?
We choose.
Who is your mentor?

Re: Who's Your Mentor?
My mentor was a man named Bob Dixon who lived in Dayton Ohio. He was a Pentecostal Bible College student when I met him at a Baptist Church one night. He straightway invited me to join a street ministry he felt led to start. I had been with the Lord about a year.
He was the first "Pentecostal" I knew in a close deep way. He put our street ministry right in the middle of the "Jesus Movement" that was happening in those days. Others worked with us as we walked the streets at times till 1 am sometimes witnessing to hookers, gays, drug people and anyone who would take a tract or listen.
It was he who sparked my interest in baptism in Jesus name and Oneness tho that was still down the road for both of us. His Bible College was an Open Bible affiliate and did not tolerate such things. However the seed was growing in him and that kind of transferred to me.
He taught me the post trib rapture and was the first friend I had who believed in predestination. Many days and nights of fellowship with him had a great impact on who I would become. He died a few years ago and is sorely missed.

Re: Who's Your Mentor?
My mentor is someone that reads this site from time to time. He knows who he is, there is no need to mention names. He and I speak/text frequently and he is, aside from God, the reason I am who today. Our convos have changed my point of view about myself, others and the way I view God. He is the single greatest motivator, IMO, and he doesn't spew jargin. He doesn't like acrostics, but he make me LOL and ROFL. He is my best friend. He is not affraid to tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear and that is a true friend and mentor.

Re: Who's Your Mentor?
I don't have anyone that I have considered a mentor in the past nor do I have anyone now that I consider a mentor. That has just never happened for me.

I will mentor you. My first bit of advice is to not have me as your mentor.
