He, my husband will be visiting his mom, and relatives, in Monticello, and Lafayette, and Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne areas. This will be during the Thanksgiving holidays. We lived in Indiana, in different areas, for twenty years. We had a very hard time finding someone who would even think of being a mentor, actually spending any of their free time, with a person who is grown up, but is a child in the Lord. I have desperately needed and have prayed for and searched for a mentor, someone who is a grown man, who would spend time with him, and teach him how to live in a functional, loving, Christian Home. The Indiana People seem to only want to socialize with their relatives, or the pastor and the leaders of the congregation. We are now in Charleston, S.C. where there are mentors, but we have only been here for a little while, and he is going back for a week. Please, someone please prove me wrong about Indiana, and the lack of anyone to help me look after, and help my husband?

He needs a mentor for a week? Um, something is wrong with this picture.
Give us the blood and guts. If he is left alone, without a mentor for a week, what kind of trouble does he get into.
I think he needs a wife, not a babysitter.
And take heed of Melissa's answer below and learn the difference between the words.

I don't think that having it during Thanksgiving is a good idea based on personal experience. One of our friends got married last year the day before Thanksgiving and it was such a hassel. My fiance couldn't get off work because he had just started a new job and they needed people so desperately because too many people were taking off during that time. Also, we have a dog and couldn't bring her with us so we had to try to find someone to take car of her or board her. All the boarding places within a 30 mile radius were booked from last year! Also, we had to stay in a hotel when we got there and all the hotels were booked too! We ended up driving the 5 hour ride back home the night of the wedding which was not fun! Many people RSVP'd to their wedding but ended up not showing. I would never recommend that unless you're planning on having either no one show up or everyone show up because Tthanksgiving is usually a time where families get together. I think they'll either skip your wedding or too many of them will want to come just to be together for Thanksgiving. JMO.

Christian fellowship is great and wonderful for a "child" in Christ. It is great for anyone. Just in case you cannot find a mentor, have your husband start a rigid, as rigid as possible, routine of prayer and Bible study. He should find time to pray and study the Bible in the morning and at night. He should find time to pray in mid-day as well. Practice makes permanent. Practice and practice and practice. Through diligence, he will come to a point where he will stay strong in God's Word with or without a mentor. He will also learn to lead you as God intended in these things. Keep praying. Don't give up.

I am a woman so I can't do it but I would suggest trying to contact someone at my church. Here is the link:
