Walk to Emmaus Sponsorship

SponsorshipSponsorship is the most important role in the Emmaus community. Sponsors reflect God's personal love and commitment to the Pilgrim. God passes His love from person to person and you will underline that fact by passing on your Emmaus experience to another.

Your aim in sponsorship should not be to get all your friends to go or to fix everyone's problems, but to build up the Body of Christ. Emmaus' purpose is to bring renewal to Christians so that they will go home and bring renewal to their homes, churches, and communities.

Do you know someone who shows potential in Christian leadership? Do you know someone who yearns for answers to their questions and to find a deeper faith? Then that is who you should sponsor!

Anyone who has participated in the Walk to Emmaus (or other recognized Fourth Day Movements) may sponsor a Pilgrim. The only additional requirement is that you are confident you can fulfill all sponsorship responsibilities. For a complete list of those responsibilities, contact our registrar.

Follow these steps for sponsorship:

  • Pray for God's direction in whom to sponsor and for their openness.

  • Discuss the retreat with your potential pilgrim. Share what the Walk to Emmaus meant to you. Refer them to this website.

  • Give them a registration form and follow up. But never force anyone to go on a Walk to Emmaus!

  • Submit the completed form to the registrar as soon as possible. Space is limited!

  • Continue in prayer for your pilgrim and get started on your sponsorship responsibilities.
