The following testimonials and endorsements were submitted by women who have taken the Life On Life, Applying the One-Anothers of Scripture course.
From "M":
Ellen Castillo has written a great study...not only to teach the guidelines of mentoring with in the church from a biblical perspective but also in helping me understand myself. There were times during this study that I found myself faced with issues that needed to be resolved personally. How in the world can I mentor someone with an issue if I have refused to at least address that same issue myself? Ellen has challenged her students and readers to do this. Over and over again, Ellen's use of scripture is both beautifully convicting and graciously hopeful.
From "C":
Many women in the church are in need of a mentor and would greatly benefit having someone to walk alongside them as they grow in their faith. The majority of women within the church don't feel equipped to be that person for someone else. Ellen does a wonderful job in teaching women how to apply the gospel truth to life issues. Not only will this study help you to lead others but you will also glean many personal insights. Ellen has a passion for equipping women to further the Kingdom. The most important thing I have taken away from the study is how to share a word of hope to the hurting.
From "C":
This course has helped me to be a better friend and family member, even though I originally didn’t plan to do any “formal” mentoring. So many real issues in people’s lives were covered, and so much Biblical references, wisdom, and suggested references and study tools were given, that I feel more confident to come alongside to encourage and help those I come in contact with. Although this course focused on mentoring others, a valuable bonus was finding areas that I need God’s help to correct or grow in and then gaining the Biblical truth to apply to my own life. It’s truly an eye-opening and practical course for any woman. Thanks Ellen!
From "K":
This study has given me the tools I've needed to confidently enter into new mentoring relationships and take my existing friendships to a whole new level of "one-anothering".
From "C":
All the while Ellen was teaching practical ways how to offer effective
Biblical Hope to the hurting through encouragement, transparency, and
servanthood, she was giving opportunity for life transformation to mature in
me as well, as we learned to apply God's Word to every circumstance. I was
challenged that if I truly desire to practice real Christianity I have to
make myself available to the needs of others.
From "S":
The Life on Life Bible Study gave me easy to understand tools I can use to help myself (I don't need to feel guilty because I can't forgive myself.....God has already done that). It also gives us easy to understand tools to mentor others. In today's fast paced world it's important that we spread the Gospel and what better way to do that than one another ministry. Thanks Ellen!!!
