Understanding Sponsorship
(From
the Emmaus Library
booklet, “Sponsorship”)
When presenting The Walk to Emmaus, always present it in a positive way. Affirm people in their own walk with the Lord. Be open and honest about the weekend and answer any questions that arise.
Wise,
intentional
sponsorship is the
foundation for
building renewal in
the church.
Sponsors need to carry
out the details of
sponsorship seriously
and conscientiously.
Once you decide to be
a sponsor, include God
as your guide and
counselor. The
intent of The Walk to
Emmaus is to develop
leaders who will
return to the church—God’s
church—and
revitalize the
congregation.
Since it is God’s
church, God knows best
who is needed when and
for what. Each
step of sponsorship
must include God’s
guidance.
As
stated in “The Upper
Room Handbook on
Emmaus”:
The personal character of sponsorship underlines the personal care and commitment of God to each pilgrim.
The fact that the Emmaus experience is passed on from person to person reflects the relational nature of God and the manner in which God reaches out to people through people.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships
are available
for
Pilgrims from this
area for
the $75 deposit
from
the
Arlington/Mid-Cities
Fourth Day Group.
If the Pilgrim or
Sponsor is unable to
fund the remaining
$100, we suggest that
you first contact
your, or other,
Reunion Groups or
perhaps even your
church to see if they
can help. If no
other source of
funding can be found,
you can request a
scholarship for the
$100 balance from the
Central Texas
Conference Walk to
Emmaus. Attach a
note to the
application requesting
a scholarship.

deposit scholarship
