JBI Mentor Team
- Each student appoints their own personal mentor team that will steward them in their journey of discipleship and help to flourish in his or her vocation.
- A mentor team consists of two members: a JBI faculty mentor, and a personal mentor. Typically, personal mentors are known to the student and come from their local congregation.
- Mentors are mature followers of Yeshua. They commit themselves to being co-learners with the student and are available for them on an ongoing basis to support their spiritual journey
