Forum Meal-Time Mentoring
Have you been accepted to attend this year's European Leadership Forum? If so, we invite you to sign up for Meal-Time Mentoring at this year's Forum.
Why?
Paul constantly used the language of the One Anothers to describe how Jesus’ disciples were to relate to one another. Believers were to 'love one another', 'encourage one another', 'pray for one another', and dozens of other One Anothers. But we can’t live the 'one anothers' if we don’t get to know one another. This is why you are coming to the European Leadership Forum – to unite with other Gospel leaders.
One of ELF's main ways to serve you is to give you a chance to meet with, talk with, and be prayed for by faithful and godly Gospel leaders. This is what ELF is all about. If you don't sign up for mentoring, you are missing out.
This important initiative provides you with the chance to meet in-person with an experienced leader (or in some cases two leaders) to:
- Pose difficult questions
- Seek advice on a specific situation
- Learn more about a particular topic of interest
- Receive prayer
- Gain encouragement
Meetings are formatted in one of two ways:
- One-on-one: just you and the mentor(s)
- Network Mentoring - an opportunity to meet one-on-one with an experienced mentor from your ELF Network
- General Mentoring - an opportunity to have mentoring in any area of your interest
- In a cohort: you, a small group of four to eight peers, and the mentor(s)
How to Sign Up for Mentoring
- Register for this year's European Leadership Forum.
- After you've been accepted, review the mentoring options below. As you can see below, we offer a variety of types of mentoring to meet a variety of needs!
- Choose up to two types of mentoring that would be of interest to you. Some types offer both one-on-one and cohort mentoring. If this is the case for one of the types you've chosen, decide whether you'd like to meet with your mentor(s) alone or in a group.
- Sign up for the type(s) you have selected. If you choose two types, you'll have to fill out two forms. Forms can be found below each type.
- Look for an email from Forum staff telling you when you're meeting and which mentor(s) you'll be meeting with. Your meeting will also be added to your personal schedule in the app the week of the Forum.
- At the Forum, show up in the restaurant on the day and time you've been assigned. All mentoring meetings are scheduled for an hour over a meal.
Important note: When scheduling mentoring this year, we will give priority to Network participants who wish to connect with an experienced mentor from their Network. After participants have had a chance to sign up for Network Mentoring, we will open the mentors’ slots to leaders from other Networks for General Mentoring.
We will do our best to connect you to the mentor you choose, but we cannot promise they will have openings for everyone who selects them. If the leader you selected to meet with does not have openings, we will schedule your mentoring meeting with another mentor in the same area.
The earlier you apply, the better your chance of meeting with your preferred mentor(s) at the 2026 ELF.
We hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity! The deadline for signing up is 23 April.
