training for godliness which
benefits now and in eternity.
Seeing godliness also helps
others on their journey. What
can the elders say? Paul
points out that all who believe
will labour and suffer because
they trust in God who saves
all if they come to Him. Some
in the Ephesus church may
reject Timothy because of his
youth. The preacher is told to
be an example in word,
thought, deed and faith. This
can be accomplished by pub
lic reading, teaching, and
preaching. He shouldn't
ignore his calling but medi
tate upon sound doctrine. As
he does these things not for a
few days but a lifetime, others
will see the true doctrine and
heed it. Total commitment is
important,
Application: Leadership
in the church does not follow
the standards of the world. To
lead God's people, she/he has
to have character and sound
knowledge. After one is
called, preparation is the next
step. Some will be trained like
Timothy (in the heat of the
battle) or elsewhere. It is vital
that leaders stay in the Word
and live it. They shouldn't
rely on folklore or personal
ambition. To be an effective
leader, praying, studying,
teaching and living the doc
trine goes a long way to guide
others. Our mission is to point
others to Jesus; if anything
else is taking place, there is an
error. While we examine lead
ership, what standard do you
live by as a believer? Are you
not a leader?

Mitchell, a general practitioner who
helped to launch a similar mentoring
program for young black males at his
son's alma mater. West Forsyth, a few
years earlier. Students in the program
showed significant improvements in test
scores during the two years he worked
with the program. Mitchell said.
"A lot of bright, brilliant young boys
are just lacking opportunity," comment
ed the Southern University at Baton
Rouge alumnus. "My son did well and I
wanted others to do well, too."
Hartsfield said she and her col
leagues had grown tired of encountering
young African Americans in the court
rooms day after day.
"We had decided to adopt a school
and start working with a school because
high school crime was just so ridiculous
and it was escalating." she declared.
Hartsfield. who is known for her cre
ativity in the courtroom, says she often
requires young people who come before
her to write book reports or essays on
the ramifications of whatever action
landed them in her courtroom. It is one
of the most despised punishments she
hands down, she said.
"The beginning of the year, 1 had
five people in a row who did not know
how to sign their name," related the
judge, who said she was told the stu
dents had never learned to write in cur
sive. "...I said, 'Anytime I can, I'm
going to make children write."
Senior David Bishop said mentors

are an important component in many
young people's lives.
"Many African Americans need
assistance from people to guide them to
success," wrote the 17 year-old. "If
mentoring programs and positive role
models are provided to students who are
struggling in or out of their home, they
can see that there is hope for the future."
Hartsfield heaped praise on Bishop,
the only male winner this year.
"1 am so proud to see borthers who
write and articulate and are on the right
track like you," she said.
Fifteen year-old Rajil Patel said her
role model was God. whom she credits
with getting her through some tough
times, including the death of her grand
mother. Though difficult, that experi
ence taught her some valuable lessons.
Rajil said.
"It doesn't matter if you're rich
materialistically," she wrote. "Being
rich spiritually is all that matters."
For Frederick Adams II, president of
the WSBA, the event was a breath of
fresh air. a welcome distraction from the
many sad statistics about young people
of color that play out daily in the court
house. Winston-Salem is home to a
proud tradition of black judiciaries and
litigators who have mentored current
members of the Association, he said.
"It has to be important for us to give
back, the same way people gave back to
(us)," he related. "We owe it to the peo
ple coming up to continue that legacy."
