Mentorship program was the original model for Moses and Joshua

Moses after leaving Egypt the first time was guided to the priest of median, Jethro, and by Jethro’s training and mentorship and through shepherding sheep, Moses learned how to shepherd God’s people. Before the death of Moses, he requested of God to select a leader for Israel, so that His people would not be as sheep not having a shepherd. God in turn selected Joshua the son of Nun, whom was Moses’s minister and who was also being mentored by Moses. This selection would not have come as any surprise to the children of Israel because Joshua had proven himself to be a faithful spy with Caleb. It has always being my desire to be mentored by pastors who tries to be faithful shepherd over their church and those who take pastoring seriously, so that I can be a blessing to God’s people.
Numbers 27:15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
