Rooted in a wide range of examples of companion mentoring in scripture, Mentoring Companionship, by author Freddy Lay, develops a compelling vision for how close companionship can strengthen mentoring relationships in ways that provide mutual encouragement and support. It gives a foundation for developing a mentoring companionship framework not just for church, but also for other spheres of life.

The message focuses on companion mentoring, in which paired individuals or groups support each another in their ministry roles. Primarily directed at church leaders, Mentoring Companionship encourages them away from depictions of themselves as powerful solo figures toward a more cooperative and supportive model of ministry, oriented around the greater goal of faithfulness to Christ. Throughout twelve chapters, Lay’s biblically focused study highlights the importance of ensuring church leaders engage in companionship mentoring to benefit from mutual support and accountability and to counter the loneliness and isolation so many leaders in ministry often experience.

Based on his many years of experience in ministry leadership in Indonesia, Lay provides a wealth of suggestions and personal experiences to underlie his analysis of the importance of companion mentoring.
