Six potential LAMP mentors went through mentoring training this morning. It was great to see four men in this group of trainees because we have so many boys who having been waiting for a mentor for a long time. From my time spent with these men this morning, I think they are each going to be incredible mentors.
Our culture often sends the message to men that they should take care of a whole bunch of responsibilities first and serve others last if they happen to have any extra time left over (which rarely happens). I think men should prioritize serving others through opportunities like mentoring because they model for their families how to join God's mission to reach the lost. That type of activity should always be prioritized, not neglected. Mentoring is a great way for men to serve others.
