Our Annual Banquet was filled with celebration, connection, and inspiration. A standout moment was our "Mentor at a Table" portion of the evening, where each guest experienced the heart of MDI through conversations with our Mentors. What a joy to celebrate their impact together! If you are interested in becoming a mentor and making a difference in the lives of ministry leaders, please visit our website in our bio to learn more!

MDI provides ministry leaders with high-caliber mentoring and innovative content to unleash their God-given potential.
About us
MDI believes God has strategically placed leaders around the world to care for His people. Many of these leaders are isolated in their circumstances and lack access to resources. MDI builds trusting relationships with these leaders by coming along side them to mentor, consult and equip them to achieve God's calling on their lives. MDI is empowering leaders to impact the world. MENTORING MDI empowers leaders through mentoring, by coming alongside leaders to listen, pray, encourage, and give leaders a safe place to talk about subjects like the following: • Gifting and Ministry Calling • Professional Development • Personal/Spiritual Issues • Goal Setting and Decision Making • Personal Growth • Marriage/Family Issues • Addressing Ministry Fatigue • Interpersonal Communication The MDI mentoring relationship can grow over time and cover an array of subjects through various seasons of ministry life. CONSULTING MDI Consultants offer specialized services to address specific needs like: • Vision Casting • Fundraising Strategizing • Strategic Planning • Communications Planning • Leadership Development • Board Development • Staff Management • Conflict Management If you are a ministry leader and looking for help in any of these areas, please contact us at: mdi@MDImentors.org

One of the highlights of MDI's Annual Event was presenting the 2025 Founder’s Award to Troy Waugh. For more than a decade, Troy has poured his wisdom, creativity, and leadership into MDI — developing tools, guiding strategy, and faithfully championing our mission. His impact has been immeasurable, and we are profoundly grateful for his help in ensuring ministry leaders thrive through MDI.

At MDI's Annual Event, we had the joy of honoring two incredible leaders — Woody Camp and Alisa Malone — for faithfully serving as MDI mentors for 10 years. Their dedication, wisdom, and heart for ministry leaders have impacted countless lives, and we are so grateful for their partnership in this mission.

Burnout can be subtle — often creeping in quietly over time. If you’re feeling worn down in ministry, you’re not alone. Later this month, we’re launching our Burnout Prevention Toolkit — a resource to help you recognize the signs and take steps toward rest and renewal. #MinistryBurnout #MDIMentors #BurnoutPrevention #HealthyLeadership

May is Mental Health Awareness Month At MDI, we recognize that mental health is essential to sustainable leadership, particularly in the nonprofit world. This May, we’re highlighting burnout prevention as a vital practice of both self-preservation and community care. Too often, nonprofit leaders are expected to give without limits. But the truth is: strong leadership begins with well-being. It’s time to shift the narrative—rest isn’t a luxury or a reward; it’s a requirement. #MentalHealthAwareness #BurnoutPrevention #NonprofitLeadership #LeadWell #MDIMentors #MentalHealthMatters
