Christ-Centered Mentorship: A case study of the Faith and Practice Programme of Christian Service University College, Kumasi Ghana.

Abstract

Mentoring is very important in every sphere of life. It is the process by which a more experienced person imparts advice, support, insight, and knowledge to a less experienced person. The mentor supports, guides, and counsels a young adult as he or she accomplishes mastery of the issues concerned. This article discusses mentorship from a Christ-centered perspective by using the Faith and Practice Programme (FAPP) of Christian Service University College as a case study. It argues that in order to address the challenges of the current generation and beyond, it is very important that students are introduced to holistic Christo-centric mentoring. The article gives an overview of mentorship and its related issues such as mentor- mentee role and relationship, the institutional leadership factor in introducing and implementing a mentoring programme, as well as the implementation procedure and challenges.
