Church Leaders Mentored
The Christian Mentors Network (CMN), Zambian Chapter, has initiated its mentorship of church leaders in Lusaka with a call for leaders to embrace learning as a lifestyle.National Training Director for CMN, Senior Pastor Christopher Phiri challenged leaders to value being mentored to improve their standing in the word of God.
“In the things of God, there is nothing like I have arrived, learning continues and you leaders should feel privileged to have this opportunity to learn. When you stop reading, you stop leading, Pastor Phiri, stressed.
With 29 participants drawn from various churches in Chawama and surrounding Constituencies, the training was aimed at equipping mentors who would be ready to equip others with the world of God in accordance with 2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others”
The mentorship which was conducted by Pastor Phiri and CMN National Mentor, Reverend Reuben Mwanza urged the mentees to ensure that they spread their knowledge to other people in their various churches.Pastor Phiri further implored leaders to embrace mentors in their lives noting that Paul, who is the author of several Gospel Books in the Bible also had a mentor by the name of Gamalliel as recorded in Acts 22:1-3.“Paul mentored Timothy and Paul himself was mentored by Gamaliel a. honoured man in the Jewish Council.
Let us not have leave me alone ministries but embrace mentors who will be able to sharpen our faith, said Pastor Phiri, who is also founder of Winning Faith Ministries, where the training p was held.
