Romans 15:4 "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope".
Our Mentoring Training Vision
Our ministry purpose is to train and equip women to do one-on-one mentoring within their own local church family in the spirit of Titus 2:3-5. Biblical Mentoring is not a 'church program', but rather a culture of soulcare that dovetails with and serves the already established church ministries (particularly Women's Ministries, Student Ministries, Small Groups, and Counseling Ministries). We feel that intentional One-Another ministry is best done in the context of the local church. For that reason, we are offering "Biblical Mentor" training so that women can gain knowledge and skills useful for biblically mentoring women and girls. We believe that all believers are called to engage in some form One-Another ministry, whether it is called soulcare, counseling, mentoring, spiritual friendship, or discipling.

Why Biblical Mentoring is Beneficial
As we counsel women, we have observed that many women and girls would benefit from having a 'Biblical Mentor'....a woman to walk alongside her and support and teach her. Some of our counselees may not have needed Biblical Counseling if she had a trained mentor in her life, preferably from within her church family, who could help her to apply the gospel to her life's circumstances. (We realize, though, that many women, even if they have a Biblical Mentor, may still need to step aside from mentoring for a season in order to receive more formal and acute Biblical Counseling, and we remain committed to providing that opportunity). In addition, we have often observed that even though counseling has ended, the counselee would benefit from being referred to a trained mentor in her own church for ongoing accountability and discipleship.
Our Biblical Mentor training would also be beneficial to any woman desiring to grow in her ability to engage in helping others, whether it is at church, at home with her family, or in her circle of friends.
Word of Hope Ministries also has a heart for youth, specifically for pre-teen and teenage girls! A portion of our training will have an emphasis on working with this age group, and it would be beneficial for anyone who is interested in working with girls to take our training.
The Church's Responsibility
Trained Biblical Mentors minister in the context of their local church, under their church leadership. Upon completion of our full program, they will be equipped to serve as a Biblical Mentor, but will not be qualified or certified to function as a Biblical Counselor. WOHM will not be liable for their ministry activities, but we will remain a support to them by providing resources and encouragement.
If a Mentor desires to obtain further training to become a Certified Biblical Counselor, referrals to our preferred training programs will be given, and we may be able to offer assistance with the training when appropriate.

Titus 2:3-5 ESV
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
