What Are Some Of My Responsibilities As A Sponsor?

 

The process of Sponsorship is simple and straightforward.  It starts with PRAYER, moves to a TIME OF PRESENTATION, WAITS FOR A DECISION, and then BEGINS TO WORK ACTIVELY TO SUPPORT THE PILGRIM.

 

On the surface the process seems easy.  Fulfilling the details of the steps can be exciting, mentally taxing, physically exhausting yet spiritually rewarding.
