As some of you know, I've been mentoring people in our area, gratis, for many years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. What I have noticed is that when people don't really invest in desiring to grow and change, growth and change rarely happens. I suppose some of what Jesus told the disciples in Mark 6:4, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives (friends) and in his own home” may have factored into this to some degree. After all, it was just Roger doing what Roger does. Yet in my heart as I have been communicating with God, I have been sensing that He is giving me a message that I am responsible to share to greater ends. So if I am going to do it, why not try to do it as effectively as possible?
It is with these thoughts in mind that I'm feeling led to start a couple of phone mentoring programs. Since you have opened this blog and read this far, there is a chance that you too desire to spread Christ's love. If that is the case, would you be willing to be ask God if He wants you to help share about these mentoring opportunities with your friends that may be experiencing difficulties in life? Perhaps they are asking questions like, "Is there more to life than this?" or “Life is such a rat race and very stressful.” And if they are, assure them that they are not alone.
The reasons that I believe that phone mentoring may be effective for some people is that…
· They won’t have to go into an office to get ‘counseling’.
· My job is to ask questions, listen, and understand. Not to judge.
· It can be done very confidentially by way of a high trust environment.
· Their circle of friends need not know about it if they prefer it to be that way.
· Comparatively it is very cost effective.
· It will be non-threatening.
· It will be their choice. I will only communicate with potential clients that contact me directly.
· They could live anywhere in the country and be part of this.
I want you to know that I am not doing this for personal glory or financial gain. Rather my deep desire is to help people ‘find purpose and joy’ in their lives and to bring glory to God.
If you feel led to be part of this by sharing it with friends in need, I hope you will simply do it with a joyful heart and because you believe it truly may help them. Your credibility is on the line too. Trust is extremely important if we are to influence people in a positive way. So do this only if you have trust in me as well as what you see when you look over my website as you learn more about the mentoring programs.

I am at total peace with this however it turns out. I trust God totally for the results of this. If He desires to use this vehicle to get His Message of hope out to more people, that would be great. Either way, this belongs to Him. We are just the mouths, arms, and legs. I hope that you are sensing the same.
Thanks for your consideration! Blessings to each of you!
