Merriam-Webster defines a mentor as "a trusted counselor or guide." History tells us the original Mentor is a character in Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. When Odysseus, King of Ithaca went to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusted the care of his kingdom to Mentor. Mentor served as the teacher and overseer of Odysseuss’ son, Telemachus.

Life Builders Ministries believes that a mentor is an individual, usually older, always more experienced, who helps and guides another individual’s development. This guidance is not done for personal gain. One of the most valuable assets your career can have is a good mentor. Charles Hefton, President and Founder of Life Builders Ministries has and is serving as Mentor for several ministers in different stages of life. Forty-three years of pastoral experience, serving on numerous Boards and having a special gift of encouragement, greatly enhance his mentoring capabilities.
