The Mentoring Manifesto - Regi Campbell
INTRODUCTION
If you don’t read anything else in this book, read this:
Helping younger men find the peace, purpose and fulfillment of living God-centric lives gives me unparalleled peace, purpose and fulfillment in my life.
I LOVE being a mentor.
I will be a mentor until I die.
It’s the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done.
It might just be the most fulfilling thing you’ll ever do.
Your calling is calling!
A few months back, we hired this internet/social media brainiac to listen in
on the internet. We asked When you look for the word
mentoring, what other words are being used in the same context? What are men talking about in their blogs? What are they talking about on Facebook? What are they

The word was calling.
Men feel a calling to give back. To build into other men. To pay it forward.
Now as an old Baptist dude, the word calling brings up a bunch of stuff, most of it not very good. The preacher would resign because he was called to another church. Fair enough, except they seemed to always be called to a bigger church and more money.
And then there’s the interminable search for a job & career that satisfies. "What do you feel called to?" At 22, who knows? I felt called to the highest salary and the most days off. A lot of the conversation around calling is pooh, but that’s off the subject.
I’ve learned that calling is connected to design. God is so cool, so systematic, so utilitarian…He wires
us for certain things as He grows us, and then he calls us to those things when we’re open to follow Him into them. His timing is always perfect.
I believe God is calling men to be mentors to younger men. And I think the calling has been there for a while; we’re just beginning to pay attention. When Jesus instructed us to go make disciples
, I think He meant it. It was a direct, personal, not later but now
instruction to His disciples. All His disciples. Then and now.
As mature Christian men, we’ve learned that loving Jesus and following Him is the secret to life. If we’ve truly experienced walking with
