520			_aThe 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.
