What is Good Sponsorship?

 

Sponsorship involves someone who takes responsibility for another.  The suffix 'ship' refers to the skill involved in the activity.

 

Therefore, Sponsorship is the skill of taking responsibility for another.

 

1. Good Sponsorship is the act of revisiting The Walk to Emmaus experience with the person God has laid on your heart.  It is the first act of agape before a Walk ever begins.
2. Good Sponsorship is an act of love for God, for the Pilgrims, for the Emmaus Community, and for the church.  It is a demonstration of agape love.
3. Good Sponsorship is an important reason why Emmaus Walks are rarely cancelled for lack of participants.  Emmaus Pilgrims want to share the gift of those three days with others.
4. Good Sponsorship is integral to some of the unique features and strengths of the Emmaus experience.
5. Good Sponsorship is the direct result of any Emmaus Community's strength in recruiting practices.
