According to the sponsorship team, ALL in the community have the responsibility for being good sponsors, meaning sponsoring the right people for the right reasons, which requires training.

Who can be a sponsor? Any person who has participated in an Emmaus ministry or other recognized 3 day movement can sponsor a person as long as he/she understands the aims and responsibilities and can fulfill them for the intended Pilgrim.

If sponsors choose to serve as team members, they find others who will co-sponsor their candidate. Team members cannot support a participant during the event in the manner intended, such as Sponsors' Hour, the Prayer Vigil, and the Saturday Evening Service.

A sponsor does not “get all my friends to go” to fill up the event, to fix people’s problems, or to reproduce his/her experience in others. The sponsor aims to bring spiritual revitalization to Christians who, will bring new life and vision to the work of their church, home, school, workplace, and communities. Sponsors need to evaluate their motives for sponsoring to ensure the consistency with this aim.

Again from the sponsorship team: When we add names to the new lists, we owe it to the new Pilgrims to sponsor them in the best way we know how. That starts with good sponsorship. Are we, as a community, committed to sponsoring the BEST people we know for the best reason we know? We must be willing to spend some time to learn to prepare and do it right.

Being a sponsor is a very important part of your fourth day. Please pray about whom you should sponsor first.
