| Pages 5-7 and 9-11 talk about what a sponsor needs to do: | |
| X where appropriate | |
| Have you read and are you willing to take on the responsibilities of a sponsor? It may help to keep the booklet out as a follow through reminder. | |
| Will you or an Emmaus person you designate support your applicant's family/spouse by providing transportation, active friendship, prayer, childcare and other needs during the Walk? | |
| Will you arrange for transportation for the new pilgrim? (You or another Emmaus person must provide transportation. Do not arrange for a pilgrim to come on their own. Tradition is that the sponsor provides a meal en-route.) | |
| Will you take personal responsible for your new pilgrims 4th day growth through continued prayer support, help and encourage participation in a reunion group or other group oriented to spiritual growth, car pool or make plans to meet at gatherings and urge the new pilgrim to participate in further church activities and Emmaus Walks? | |
| Further things that will help your new pilgrim to experience a dynamic Walk to Emmaus (check off as you follow through.) | |
| Is your new pilgrim on a special diet? Some people do not mark this because they do not want to complicate things. We want to take personalized care of each pilgrim. Talk to your applicant and check this out. Give information here that is not already on application. | |
| Does your pilgrim have a sight, hearing or mobility problem? Give details so the Inn Team can be prepared as appropriate. (Example: Getting up from floor difficulties. As sponsor, can you arrange for a small high bed or cot?) Some churches have a lot of stairs. | |
| Any other comments you feel helpful will be welcome. |
| The prayer vigil has a place for prayer request and prayer
offerings to be written. If your would like to include one for your
pilgrim, you may include an envelope to "Prayer Vigil" among the
agape letters. STAY FOR SPONSORS HOUR which happens immediately after the registration time. This is a time for verbal prayers as the Walk begins. If for any reason you CANNOT stay for sponsor's hour please ask someone there to stand in for you. Your presence in Sponsors hour is an important part of sponsoring. |
