Mentoring the New Believer
As a new believer begins their walk with God, a mentor can help them understand what a relationship with God is like and what they can expect along the path. By listening to the comments of the new believer as they interact with the New Believer's curriculum, a mentor can help correct some misconceptions and guide the new believer to get started in the right direction.
This class will help prepare you for the types of questions the new believer may ask, and give you answers and resources to continue the dialogue with them.
This is the first time Bill has taught this class, and it will be updated in early 2013. We are missing the last several lectures.
