The personal character of sponsorship underlies 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. Sponsorship is integral to some of the uniques features and strengths of the Emmaus experience.

Emmaus Pilgrims want to share the gift of those three days with others. God's gift of grace continues to be passed on through the Emmaus Movement weekend after weekend. Sponsors help make Emmaus an act of sacrificial love from the beginning to end - something much more than the usual retreat or religous education function.

Good sponsorship is vital to the Emmaus Movement.

Good sponsorship is the first act of agape before a Walk even begins.

Good sponsorship undergirds the whole weekend.

Good sponsorship is the foundation for a healthy, effective Emmaus Movement that is fulfilling its true purpose - the development of Christian leaders and the renewal of the church in ministry.

The aim of the sponsor is to bring spiritual revitalization to Christians who will, in turn, bring new life and vision to the work of the church in the congragation, home, workplace, and community.

The aim of sponsorship is to build up the Body of Christ!
