Mentoring can be one of the most effective means of teaching; inviting someone to learn from the example of someone with experience. Whether through apprenticeships, interships or other less-formal relationships, walking alongside an experienced practitioner can impart essential skills, attitudes and knowledge.
About five years ago, Christianity Today posted an article on effective mentoring. In it, Erik Johnson, the president of Family Challenge Ministries, looks at how people moving into retirement can provide value to those starting out or looking to undertake new challenges.
