How to Become a Sponsor

In order to sponsor someone on Walk to Emmaus, a person must first have been on The Walk itself. A sponsor should also be active in their Fourth Day relationship with Christ. Having been through the experience and being engaged in ongoing spiritual formation through Fourth Day gives one perspective on how to sponsor.

The basic attitude of a sponsor is one of prayerful discernment. This results in intentional acts of unconditional love, or what is often termed "the first act of agape".

Wise sponsorship is careful, intentional, prayerful, and purposeful because it results from God's leading. The pilgrims return to their churches and community renewed in their commitment to be effective disciples.
