2. DO I NEED A MENTOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING PROGRAM While mentors are very helpful and certainly the preferred route, they are not absolutely necessary for training to take place. The program is available and still very beneficial) for those without a mentor. In fact, it is unlikely that (at first) there will be a mentor available for every single person in the church, so many may have to take this route. Just follow the steps outlined in this manual as best as possible (a) still give the Peer-Assessment Map Form 2.1) to some close friends to fill out for you, b) draw up an Action Plan (Form 4) yourself and maybe share it with a pastor, prayer partner, or Life Group leader, and (c) keep a detailed Discipleship Journal (Form 5) so that when you do get a mentor you will have an accurate training history.
