Sponsor Covenant
 

Before the application is signed:
[ ] Understand that sponsorship requires a commitment in time and effort that begins before the Walk

     and continues after the Walk has taken place. Attend Sponsorship Training if you haven't had it.
[ ] Pray for God's guidance in selecting individuals or couples for you to sponsor.
[ ] Meet with your chosen pilgrim(s) and his/her spouse (if married) to discuss the Walk to Emmaus and

    post-Walk Emmaus activities. Every effort should be made to encourage BOTH husband and wife to attend

    the Walk. If one is not interested but is a believer, you should back off for 6-9 months to give the couple a

    chance to pray, discuss and consider the invitation. If, after that time, one still refuses, then sponsor the one

    who wants to attend if the spouse is agreeable.

Before the Walk:
[ ] Pray for the spiritual growth of your pilgrim, for his/her family, and for the success of the Walk.
[ ] Contact the community "72 Hour Prayer Vigil" board member and commit for a prayer time slot.
[ ] Collect 8-12 personal agape letters from the pilgrim's close family, friends, and pastor. These should be

    marked with an "F" on the envelopes to signify "family and friends."
[ ] Consider making general agape to share with all of the pilgrims on the weekend.

During the Walk:
[ ] Pray for the spiritual growth of your pilgrim, for his/her family, and for the success of the Walk.
[ ] Take your pilgrim to the Walk site and help to register him/her. If your pilgrim wishes to drive alone, be

     at the site to welcome him/her.
[ ] Attend Sponsor's Hour which occurs immediately following the fellowship time on Thursday night. If you

     cannot attend, please see that you have someone at Sponsor's Hour to pray for your pilgrim, or give a brief,

      written prayer to the person responsible for Sponsor's Hour to be read in your absence.
[ ] Leave personal agape letters at the site Thursday night if possible.
[ ] Assist the pilgrim's spouse at home (e.g. baby-sitting, companionship for a meal, etc.)
[ ] Attend Saturday night Community Gathering ( 8:00 pm ) and Candlelight service at 8:30 p.m.
[ ] Attend Closing services Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
[ ] Take your pilgrim home if possible. S/he will appreciate someone who understands his or her excitement or

     silence.

After the Walk:
[ ] Continue to pray for your pilgrim and be available to discuss what s/he discovered on the weekend

     after s/he has had time to reflect upon the events.
[ ] Attend the first Community Gathering after the Walk with your pilgrim.
[ ] Assist your pilgrim in finding a reunion group and encourage him/her to attend.
[ ] Help your pilgrim understand how s/he may participate in upcoming Walks as a sponsor or team member.

     If s/he has not done so, encourage him/her to complete the volunteer sign-up sheet distributed in the

     packets and forward it to: Rocky Starland, 17669 Blue Star Hwy, South Haven, MI 49090

By completing and signing the Sponsor Information and Covenant sheet, you are acknowledging that you have read and agree to uphold your responsibilities as stated above. Save this sheet as a reminder.
