Do you have a passion for helping motivate leaders from your church to “do even greater things” for God?
Sponsorship may be for you!
We have a selection of documents that you can use should you decide to sponsor someone for the Walk to Emmaus. The first two in this list can be shared with your pilgrim.
- Upper Room Emmaus Brochure (PDF) – use the “Contact Us” link if you would like to get some hard copies of this brochure.
- What to expect on a Walk to Emmaus (PDF)
- Sponsorship kit (PDF) – this kit includes information on responsibilities as a sponsor and it also contains the Pilgrim Application.
- The Pilgrim Application
Your responsibilities should you decide to sponsor someone for the Walk to Emmaus are in the Pilgrim Sponsor Kit above, however, in short:
- Pray about sponsoring your potential Pilgrim
- Ask the Pilgrim if they would like to attend and have them fill out an application which also needs to be signed by the Pilgrim’s pastor.
- Maintain contact with your pilgrim before the Walk to Emmaus weekend.
- Collect 8-12 personal agape letters to be given to the Pilgrim on Sunday.
- There is a cost to the Walk to Emmaus. There is a $250 pilgrim fee which covers the cost of renting Camp Rappahannock which is paid for by the sponsor. Additionally, there is a $50 registration fee – which can be paid by the sponsor or the pilgrim.
- Bring your pilgrim out to dinner (if desired) and then arrive at Camp Rappahannock between 7:00-7:30pm on the Thursday night of the Walk.
- Stay and participate in Sponsors Hour on Thursday night.
- Come to Candlelight on Saturday night (normally starts at 7:30pm).
- Come to Closing on Sunday (starts at 4:00pm).
- Pray for your Pilgrim throughout the weekend.
