Sponsor someone:
Sponsorship does not involve paying for participants (although in some cases this might apply), but rather ensuring that they derive most spiritual benefit from the Walk. This is a commitment that should not be taken lightly and can only be fulfilled by someone who has been on a “Walk to Emmaus”. It involves, among other things:
Selection of suitable Applicants:
This should be done prayerfully and in consultation with your reunion group and the relevant minister or pastor, to ascertain that this applicant will benefit from a “Walk to Emmaus” and is at present spiritually and emotionally suitable for this. Don’t simply sponsor “nice people”, friends or family that you want to go.
Support for the Walk, before and after
You undertake to:
- Pray for this applicant;
- Discuss the Walk with his/her family/friends for appropriate support and encouragement and care for them over the period of the Walk;
- Arrange for transport to the Walk;
- Participate yourself in activities that make the weekend a special blessing;
- Help the applicant attend follow-up activities after the Walk.
