A Legacy Through Mentoring

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

It is difficult to cross generational lines; and yet, we are supposed to share the love of Christ with the next generation (Psalm 71:17-18). One way to minister to the succeeding generation effectively is through mentoring.
