Year-Round Mentoring Group for Women in Leadership
with Hannah Donato
What Graduates Are Saying
“This mentoring for women in leadership was so so beneficial for me because it's directly related to my ministry: it helped me to grow up in my faith, in my understanding of God's word, and my ability to teach it to others. It was the first time when I had this specific training related to teaching Scripture. And it was so amazing to meet those ladies who become so dear because it was such an encouragement. And what is the best is that this mentoring built a foundation for future studies of God's word and gave godly friends with whom I'll keep relationships.”
Viktorija Navikaitė, a youth leader from Lithuania
“The group consists of great, kind, and loving women who are great in encouraging others. It is a privilege to meet them regularly during the YRM. Ann is very open, encouraging, and ready to help. I can write to her whenever I cannot handle something. She has many years of experience in leading women, so I take a lot from her teaching. Although the meeting took place only from a distance, Ann tried to involve everyone as much as possible. Everyone had the opportunity to express themselves, and under her guidance, we all learned how to encourage others. I learned a lot about leading a small group, building relationships, and giving feedback. I will definitely use what I learned in my own Bible study group.”
Ester Pučálková, a youth leader from The Czech Republic
