N2  - The  practice  of  mentoring  in  academic  institutions  has  been  studied  over  several decades  in  an  attempt  to  measure  the  effectiveness  of  mentoring  as  a  contributing factor  to  the  success  of  students  in  completing  academic  qualifications and  in empowering  them for  future employment. This  research  is  a  study  of  the  mentoring practices and perceived benefits of mentoring women students and employees of the International College of Bible and Missions (ICBM) with a view to guiding the College toward an intentional approach of mentoring women for more effective ministry. The aims,  types and effectiveness  of mentoring are first  examined  in  literature  reflecting undergraduate   institutions.   Although   very   few   mentoring   studies   in   Christian institutions are available for perusal, the findings from secular reviews are compared with a Christian world view of mentoring, including a focus on the African community aspect of  Ubuntu,  which  has a  direct bearing  on  building  mentoring  relationships  at ICBM. The perceptions of the effectiveness of mentoring of ICBM women are seen in the results of a questionnaire presented to on-campus women students and staff. A study  of  Paul’s  mentoring  practices  informs  a  guide  to  both  informal  and  formal mentoring of women at ICBM based on the desires for mentoring expressed by these women.  The  research  concludes  by  identifying  specific  areas  in  which  the  ICBM College  can  be  made  aware  of  the  need  for  mentoring  women,  and  by  suggesting strategies for addressing those needs by training women at ICBM who are in a position to facilitate the mentoring of others
