Classroom Instruction and Mentoring Compared

Abstract

The comparisons listed below refer to mentoring new Christian leaders. We mentor them the way Jesus and His apostles did. Pioneer fields especially require mentoring for new pastors and cell leaders, until churches are reproducing and doing what the New Testament requires. We compare mentoring and lecture not to show that one is better but that we need balance between the two as churches mature. The authors do both. To multiply churches or cells, educators must do both.
