mentor a royal servant
At Royal Servants, we are all about relationships and believe that one of the primary ways God works in our lives is through the relationships He has put in our lives.
We believe having a mentor from home is a crucial part of how God might use a Royal Servants experience. This doesn't just allow a participant to have a great adventure for a summer, but having a mentor brings about long lasting growth and development that will impact them and their world for the rest of their life! A mentor helps bridge the experiences they will have during their trip to the work God is doing in their life at home, both before and after their trip. Finding or being a mentor should not be hard; it simply requires intentional time, a commitment to pray, and a willingness to journey together through the three phase process that is laid out.
