The result is doing mission work haphazardly leaving unconverted souls unattended to and wasting of resources. Unfortunately, most public universities in the Mt. Kenya Region do not have the constant presence and services of a chaplain to help in the work of nurturing, training and mentoring Adventist students. The Model tool adopted for training students in public universities and colleges in the Mt. Kenya region is a modification of the mentoring and equipping work done by Elisha in the schools of the Prophets. It also borrows from Jesus’ way of modeling the disciples and that of Paul mentoring Timothy and Titus. The tool followed five stages: a) The first stage is the reconnaissance stage; b) In the second stage, the information gathered from the area anticipated for mission was evaluated to ascertain what method was suitable for the region; c) The third stage was the training and mentoring period, where students were given adequate training and mentoring by the chaplains and lay evangelists; d) In the fourth stage, the students were given a chance to get involved in the field work as the chaplain modeled a manual tool; e) The fifth and final stage was the practical use of the tool by the students in mission as the chaplain and evangelists monitored its full implementation. This whole process took about one year. This project was implemented in these institutions as intended. The tool was developed and taken through a test run in two of the institutions. It was evaluated and finally implemented in the institutions with Adventist presence in the region. Students were trained and mentored to also do the same to others as a cycle process. It is hoped that recommendations made from this project to the Central Kenya Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists will be accepted, and the tool shared with other institutions within the conference and even beyond. A manual tool to help students do an effective ministry and mission work in Mt. Kenya region was the goal of this project. Young people will have an opportunity to witness using their gifts and talents efficiently. Chaplains will get a chance of using a manual guide that will help them mentor young people and equip them for active mission and ministry.enMentorship in MinistryStudent MinistrySeventh-day Adventist Church – Kenya – Mount Kenya RegionMission TrainingAdventist Students in Public UniversitiesThesis
