Overview

Mission

Refresh mentoring is a non-denominational, non-profit christian ministry that seeks to invite and equip every woman to experience fresh life in jesus through healthy mentoring relationships. Refresh mentoring reaches real women, empowering them to be who god has designed them to be as they live intentionally and biblically. Free training, coaching, and resources are available to equip women of all ages and walks of life. These tools and resources will be most beneficial when they are used in the context of life-on-life discipleship. With families more spread out and living in a variety of contexts mentoring relationships are more crucial than ever. We no longer have a village to help raise our families and encourage spiritual growth. We believe when women intentionally invest in other women, as titus 2:3-5 and 2 timothy 2:2 help model, the whole body of christ becomes more beautiful and the church is strengthened.

What it reported doing in 2025

Operating model

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
