Be a Friend and Change a Life!

Change Your Life, a self-help ministry program of skills training and one-on-one mentoring coupled with tangible rewards and incentives, is gearing up for the fall! Each participant needs a Christian friend - someone who will walk alongside them, support them with prayer and encouragement, hold them accountable, and help that person clarify their own goals. We call these Christian friends, "mentors."

Mentors are asked to serve for about 8-12 weeks, depending on the class that the participant/student is taking. The time commitment is about one hour, once a week. Change Your Life meets on Tuesday nights in Bozeman; mentors meet with their participants from 7:30-8:30 p.m., following the participants' attendance in their classroom instruction. Training is provided; all mentoring occurs in a structured environment under one roof.

Can you serve Christ, share your Christian worldview, encourage someone who is learning news ways of approaching life, and who is waiting for you to be their mentor? We have a waiting list of participants/students who need you!

Course offerings this fall: Finding Financial Freedom (money management), Becoming a More Powerful Person (character development), and Divorce Care for Kids (emotional recovery from parent loss through divorce or abandonment) with an accompanying course for the parent. Mentors are needed for the adult participants of these courses who are counting on Gallatin County Christians to be there for them.

Call Love INC (587-3008) or email rmloveinc @ yahoo.com (no spaces in the email address), put your faith in action and help change a life (it might even be your own!).

Note: All Love INC ministry workers, including mentors, are volunteers who must be members or regular attenders of a local Christian church and agree with the faith expressed by the Apostles' Creed (which includes faith in the Trinity, the two natures of Jesus Christ: fully God and fully man, and the bodily Resurrection of Christ). All Change Your Life mentors must pass a criminal background check.
