Preparing for Gang Ministry Mentoring
A worksheet to clarify your calling and bring your best questions
Whether you are just exploring or ready to earn your certificate, these questions help you get clear on where God is sending you. Students in the $175 certificate package can bring this worksheet to their two hours of personal mentoring with Rayford Johnson.
1. Name your calling
- Who has God placed on your heart — youth on the street, men and women behind the walls, families, or people returning home?
- What moment or experience first drew you into this work?
2. Describe your ministry setting
- Where do you serve today (jail, prison, juvenile hall, church, school, treatment center, street outreach)?
- What rules, schedules, or access limits shape what you can do there?
3. Identify your biggest challenge
- What conversation or situation leaves you unsure of what to say or do?
- Where do you feel least prepared right now?
4. Set one goal for the next 90 days
- What would faithful progress look like for you in three months?
- Who could you serve, train, or partner with to reach it?
5. Bring three questions
- Write the three questions you most want to ask during your mentoring time.
- Which course module raised the most questions for you?
