Faith Partners

I had a energizing conversation this morning with a member of our church who is one of our "Faith Partners." We had matched him up with a partner a little while ago and that new friendship is growing and bringing increased spiritual rewards. It's so good to see how God works through people to encourage, instruct, and support us as we seek to follow Christ.

One particular bit of information he shared was some mentoring material he happened upon at a weekend conference put on by FamilyLife. On their website is additional material, including the link below which gives mentors (what we call Faith Partners) practical help for faithfully supporting people in their particular struggles. I'd recommend it to every believer, because whether you signed up or not to be one of our Faith Partners, the Lord intends to use you to speak into the lives of other people. I think this resource could help in that process: http://mentor.gofamilylife.com

Paul wrote to Philemon, "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people." (Philemon 6-7) That summarizes well what we mean by Faith Partners. If you'd like to become a Faith Partner, or if you'd like to have someone partner with you, just let me know. We'll help you make a great connection!
