Each woman sets personal goals for each discipline and makes their own plans to accomplish those goals. She budgets time, resources, materials, and schedules time to practice each discipline. At the weekly meetings, each woman shares her goals and plans.
The philosophy behind mentoring arises from Ephesians 4:11-13, where spiritual leaders are instructed to equip the rest of the church for the work of ministry.
[Christ] gave some to be …pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
