Sponsor a Pilgrim
Do you remember how special your Emmaus Walk was to you? It wouldn’t have been possible without the prayer and sacrifice of your sponsor.
After your Walk, you are able to sponsor any friends and family for a future Emmaus Walk. Prayerfully consider who you would like to sponsor, seeking the Holy Spirit as your guide in whom you should sponsor. Explain what the weekend is to your potential pilgrim. Discuss no watches or cell phones. Assure them that there will be an emergency contact number if needed. Explain reunion groups and post-weekend involvement within the community.
The Walk to Emmaus is not just about those three days, it’s also about the Fourth Day Community, becoming an impact on the world, our church, and the community for Christ’s Kingdom.
