Betty Hisinga says when an older woman becomes a mentor, it benefits the body of Christ in many ways.

Mentors can be surrogate grandparents for those who do not have their parents around,

and we have children who have moved away, so we know what that's like,

that the kids don't always have someone to take to grandparents' day at school.

And you can do that. Mentors, older people have so many talents and gifts that they can share in their churches,

that they're not doing. Just look around you and think of the things you can do to help the young families in church,

to teach them things you've learned. the men as well as the women.

It just makes it such a difference.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Tuesday, July 31st. We've been in a much needed series on mentoring.

If you've missed any of it, you can hear the programs or order them at revive our hearts.com.

Here's Nancy to introduce our guests.

Well, when we started this series I anticipated, we were going to perhaps give two days to it. Then it became three, and now here we are on a fourth.

And I'm so glad we've had the chance to extend this time because we're talking about

what is such an important and very desperately

needed subject for women today. And that is how can younger women be mentored in their roles

as wives, as moms, and even as single women, anticipating what God may have for them down

the road. And God has put on the heart of a woman named Betty

Heisinga, a ministry called Apples of Gold. We've been talking about it throughout this week.

If you've missed any of the previous programs, I hope that you order a CD. If you'll go to our

website, you can find more information and a link about Apples of Gold. There are lots of resources.

It's a practical way for older women to fulfill the mandate of Titus Chapter 2, which

is for older women to teach younger women the ways of God.
