The objective of Beginning: Year One is for you to let Jesus train you on how to be a mentor to your friend. Jesus will assist you, as a mentor, in using Devotions With Jesus to help your friend grow spiritually. Devotions With Jesus is a powerful devotional program that helps your friend listen to an audio presentation, have devotional notes, and read a two page devotional comment each day for five days. This makes it easy for them to include devotions with Jesus into their day.

Jesus will use Beginning: Year One to help you, As a student, to get ready to mentor your friend. While your friend is going through their devotions in the Devotions With Jesus program, your Beginning: Year One program will be taking you on a parallel journey with them. With them on their device, they will select, “I would like to have DEVOTIONS to do each day.” And, with you on your device, you will select, “I would like to be able to HELP PEOPLE with their problems.”

Even though you and your friend are studying in different programs, you will be working together in a very special way. But, before you spend time in Devotions With Jesus, let Jesus explain to you how you will be helping your friend through your studies as they do their devotions:

• The Review Pages: The Beginning: Year One program will give you access to your friend’s devotions through two Review Pages. Each devotion page your friend will read that week will show up one at a time during your daily studies. They will be displayed as your first and second pages in your studies.


• The Study Pages: Then you will go over two Study Pages where Jesus will help you learn more about how to work with your friend.

There are two parts to helping you get acquainted with Beginning: Year One. “The Special Features” program will help you with that. It gives you wonderful hands-on experiences that familiarize you with how this all works. If you aren’t familiar with Devotions With Jesus, no problem. Beginning: Year One will take you there soon. You will be helped to get acquainted with it right away so you can go through it again with your friend.

Your friend will have a Special Features program for them to go through helping them understand Devotions With Jesus. This keeps you from having to do all the explaining. They can go through their “Special Features” for Devotions With Jesus on their device. You can go through Beginning: Year One Special Features on your device. Your Special Features will be helping you with Devotions With Jesus and Beginning: Year One at the same time. You and your friend can do this separately at different locations and at different times.

In your look at your Special Features, you will not only see what the “Benefits” of Devotions With Jesus are, you will be shown what the “Purpose” of Beginning: Year One is. It is very important for you and Jesus to spend some time together going over these Special Features. He wants to train you in as a mentor to your friend. And, He wants to build a special relationship with you all during that time.

Below is the “Purpose” button. Jesus will use the Purpose study for showing you WHAT it will do for you and your friend. Then He will use the Introduction to show you HOW He will help you and your friend grow in Him.
