Discipleship Partners
We have adopted the name of Discipleship Partner for those who have dedicated themselves to being an active part of our guests’ lives.
Having Real Talk
Small talk is cheap and can be found anywhere. We look for real talk. It starts with “How are you doing?” and builds up to, “What do you want to do in life?” and “What are you struggling with?” Being real!
We aren’t looking for a professional. You don’t need to be college-educated, you don’t need to be an experienced mediator, you don’t need to have triumphed over a major lifestyle of sin or struggle. You only need to dedicate to living life with one of our guests for a period of time.
What Does this Look Like?
Want to go for coffee?
Need to run some errands?
Going for a hike this weekend?
If you can think about the things you usually do with your friends and family
you’ll have a good idea of what we hope you’ll do with one of our residents!
Commitment
We can’t expect to establish healthy, long-lasting relationships in brief encounters that lead to increased friend counts on Facebook.
Talking about hopes and fears, sharing testimonies and what gives us a hard time in life.
It might take some time to get there, but with the labor comes fruit!
We ask Discipleship Partners to dedicate at least a year
...hopefully two or three, to one of our guests. Jesus walked with His disciples for three years, and we want to follow His lead.
