Project Rescue Mentor/Manager Program

The Mentor/Manager Program is an initiative to enlist extra help for especially troubled program members. 

This endeavor is a “last ditch” attempt to salvage a man’s program and keep him from quitting. 

This effort is also intended to protect and nurture Project Rescue’s relationship with the program member’s home congregation.

We are going to use two present special cases to write and try this program:

1.        Alan Watkins of the Grant Street church of Christ has agreed to be ??????????’s Mentor/Manager.
