“A discipler is one who helps an understudy (1) give up his own will for the will of God the Father, (2) live daily
a life of spiritual sacrifice for the glory of Christ, and (3) strive to be consistently obedient to the commands of his Master. A mentor, on the other hand, provides modeling, close supervision on special projects, individualized help in many areas—discipline, encouragement, correction, confrontation, and a calling to accountability.” – Ted Engstrom (The Fine Art of Mentoring, recently re-published by Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2008 )
Dr. Ted W. Engstrom (1916-2006) dedicated his life to effective Christian ministry leadership.
