A personal friend will be receptive to telling you their problems; a sincere friend will do that and will listen to your stories about how you went through similar things; but, mentor friends will:

1. Tell you some of the problems they are going through.


2. Will listen to your story about all the things you went through.


3. AND will allow you to tell them what you did to get help.


4. AND will also be willing to start doing what you did so they can get what you received from Jesus.

When you finally meet them and are able to establish a mentoring friendship with them, that is the time when true friendship begins.

If a person responds to the various parts of your story positively, then you can start showing them HOW Jesus did the wonderful things He has done for you. Once you and Jesus feel they are ready, you would invite them to take a look at the Benefits of HELP eMagazine on the website. The Special Features section of HELP eMagazine will start telling them why they need to be willing to get involved in the studies.

You will be helping them see a way to start getting help with the issues they are going through. As you go over these Benefits, you will be asking them what they think about the various things presented. Don’t just quickly go through the Benefits; let them give you their reactions to as much of these things being presented as possible. You are ALWAYS using these things to FIND OUT where Jesus has taken them so far. If they aren’t ready for something, then either THEY have decided they don’t want it; or, Jesus has decided HE isn’t ready for them to be exposed to it yet.

If they need to spend a lot of time discussing with you their concerns about the Benefits of HELP eMagazine, then remain in that area. If they have a negative reaction to or appear to be disinterested in HELP eMagazine, then you need to spend time with Jesus finding out what to do from there. Some people will be willing to share their problems with you, be willing for Jesus to set them free, but they will NOT be willing to “do what it takes” TO GET Jesus’ help.

Once again, YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO SELL THEM ON HELP EMAGAZINE. You are just trying to find out whether or not Jesus has gotten them ready for HELP eMagazine. Everything you do is simply an exploratory effort to find out what Jesus and they have decided on this matter. They and Jesus must first solve the issue of what they are ready for and willing to do. That is what the Special Features of HELP eMagazine are all about.

You can ask questions like, would you like to be helped by Jesus like He has helped me? Would you be willing to take a look at the program that has meant so much to me? Would there be a convenient time for us to get together and take a look at this program? You can explain to them that it is an internet program you and they can do together in the privacy of their or your home; or, it can be done with both of you looking at the same thing but in separate homes. If they say yes, you and Jesus will have developed a mentor friend.

You will need to personally REVIEW the Benefits in the Special Features section of HELP eMagazine before you meet with them. As you review it, be praying about how to best present it to them. Your questions have helped you get to know them; now it is time to see what Jesus wants you to do with them next. Then you will be ready to meet with them to go over the Special Features of HELP eMagazine.

If your friend responds positively to the Benefits that are being offered to them from HELP eMagazine, then they are ready to start looking at the Introduction to these studies. Follow the same procedure of moving slowly through the Introduction by asking them questions that give them an opportunity to tell you what they think about each point. You aren’t just looking for problems and disagreements, you are also looking for misunderstandings as well.

As you examine your friend, you need Jesus to help you see any problems they are having with the benefits and the introductions. It is vital that you see beyond any problems they are having. Are they being honest and open with you; or, are they having problems because of some hidden reason? If it doesn’t seem like anything helps them with their problems with the program, then you will need Jesus to help you get down into their heart. Many times people don’t share their REAL reasons for why they are being resistive.

If Jesus has so prepared their heart that they show a readiness and willingness to learn how to start doing these studies with you, then move on into The Discovery Courses. This is new to them; they will need your assurance that you and Jesus will be with them all the way through. You have already demonstrated patience, love, and friendship to them. They may or may not be all that familiar with computers and devices they will be using. And, it may be hard for them to get familiar with this website.

Make sure your friend is able to understand and agree with the system that is being presented to them. They may need to discuss schedules, time issues, and what kind of meetings this will require. Spend as much time as is needed to work out the details for them starting the studies with you. It would be good if you could at least do the first few studies together in the same place. If that is not possible, then it would be good to do a practice run. All you would do is help them navigate to the study, get acquainted with their record sheet, set up their browser for the next meeting, and then close down.
