Marion Randell, Discipleship & Mentoring Coordinator
Discipleship and Mentoring follows the Biblical model of Titus 2: "Older women train Younger women." The role for this ministry provincially is to provide Bible study resources as well as promote " Training and Recruitment" for studies on the local/presbytery level to our churches. We also connect annually with the "Younger Women" of our province at YC through our exhibitor's " Connextions" table. To "Disciple" is to teach and to "Mentor" is to encourage through advice.This ministry is accomplished locally by organizing and executing weekly Bible Studies of older and younger women together with the intention of imparting spiritual values and life skills. This gives ample opportunity to connect with, encourage and include younger women in our activities. We are hoping to have every church in our province of NL to come alongside and provide such a ministry. If you have any questions or need info regarding resources or recruitment training for Bible studies in your church or presbytery, contact me at marion_dr@yahoo.ca. I am married to Pastor Roy Randell and currently living in Placentia.
