Ans: Discipleship or Mentorship is for our benefit. When you are being mentored you are benefitting and when you are mentoring somebody you are also benefitting.It is not a legalistic thing but a relationship that can grow .Discipleship can be informal or formal .Also discipleship is at various levels .

• Tim 2:2

• We saw Aquila and Priscilla chose Apollo
• Titus 2:3-5 — The older women are to mentor younger women
• One of the great ways Mentorship can start is to see a grace on a young Christian and draw them close to mentor them
• What we are trying to now do as a church is that instead of discipleship being sporadic , we can make it a church culture so that everybody is being mentored at various levels — cell group level , department level and also personal level .
