Mentoring is M.I.A. Ministries’ main focus whether it is with a ONE-ON-ONE with someone, pouring into a group of people, or walking with a couple in their marriage or their engagement. M.I.A. Ministries uses the Word of God, along with several Spirit Filled teaching that fit the needs of those being Mentored!
As the world we live in turns towards Evil, people need to find someone to tell them the truth of God. Preachers, pastors, and other religious leaders are less and less available to do any type of ONE-ON-ONE intimate counseling or mentoring. Men and women struggle with being open to others, their spouses, children, and themselves. M.I.A. Ministries offers ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING – We live in an ever-increasingly “Me” society and a technological age that shallows up any relationships even within the church. There is a great need to intentionally build and deepen personal relationships. Spiritual mentoring includes discipleship, book studies, Bible studies, prayer, counseling and teaching. We serve to help others understand how God has uniquely called and gifted them to serve and glorify the Lord in the various arenas of their life. M.I.A. Ministries is dedicated to speaking into their life the Light of Jesus Christ and the Hope and Power in His Resurrection! Marriage or engagement mentoring helps couple put God first in the relationship before themselves and the one they are in love with. This is based on the greatest commandment. “You are to love the Lord Yahweh, your God, with a passionate heart, from the depths of your soul, with your every thought, and with all your strength. The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 Rick and Janene Glover married for over 42 years have gone through together many trials and tribulations but keeping their faith in God putting Him first in their lives pour into couples through the Bile, intimate conversations and Spiritual marriage teachings. Group Mentoring is sessions modeled after Jesus - A highly relational and deeply personal approach to ministry, our Lord Jesus modeled for us to follow.
Spending in-depth time with the twelve apostles was Jesus’ model for ministry to mature them in their personal knowledge of Him. His classroom was the classroom of life as they watched Him love and serve and preach and heal. (1 John 1:1-3) These group mentoring sessions are a classroom setting for M.I.A. Ministries; they vary from On a Zoom session, in person sessions along with inside Prison. These are where the basics truths of the Bible are taught, and people are transformed with the healing touch of Jesus Christ. Personalized mentoring, whether it’s ONE-ON-ONE or in a group, is the backbone of M.I.A. Ministries.
Mentoring is as much a pouring out as it is being poured into. We at M.I.A. Ministries enjoy our mentoring sessions because we learn from the Holy Spirit, and you as much as you will from the Holy Spirit and ourselves. M.I.A. Ministries also mentors inside the Prison walls with both men and women. Listening and understanding their emotions and feelings, building up their confidence and trust in who they are in Jesus Christ. Empowering the incarcerated, not to turn fix their emotions towards man, addictions or any other co-dependency; but to look inside themselves to the Lord Jesus Christ who lives in their hearts and upwards to Our Father who directs all things. . |
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
