Mentoring Matters: Jon's Story
It took me a while to purposefully seek out someone to learn from spiritually. The first guy I did this with was Bud, a co-worker and elder at our church, probably about twenty years older than I was at the time. We would walk at lunch, and during our talks Bud shared transparently from his own life, which encouraged me to do the same. I think the most significant part of this was how it took away the feeling of being unknown in the guy part of my spiritual life. Interestingly it was only about a year after starting those walks with Bud that God called us into full time ministry.

Over the past few weeks, I had the privilege of joining several SEND leaders on a deeply moving survey trip through Myanmar and Nepal. This journey wasn’t just about exploring ministry opportunities—it was about listening, learning, and witnessing firsthand how God is at work in some of the most complex and challenging corners of our world.
