SPONSOR RESPONSIBILITIES :
Here are some responsibilities to keep in mind when recruiting guests. These responsibilities are primarily those of the sponsor. If you cannot accommodate them, please find someone who can.
- Select guests who wish to strengthen their spiritual life, those who seek to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, and to make Him known.
- Be intentional. Discuss the weekend with potential guests. Try to explain the effect of the weekend to both the guest and his/her spouse. Try to get commitments from both of them. Share your personal experience with the weekend; telling them how meaningful the talks and activities were to you. Do not discuss the specifics of the weekend which will be surprising for them.
- Explain the 3rd day meeting. This will be announced during the weekend, and additional information regarding reunion groups will be provided.
- You are responsible for acquiring letters for your guests. Ask your guest’s spouse to write a letter as well as family and friends. Mark the envelopes with an “F” in the upper right hand corner so they can be opened first. Be sure the envelope also has the guests name on it. Gifts ARE NOT accepted for specific guests or team members during the weekend.
- When you receive a sponsor confirmation for your guest, call them immediately to share your joy. Whether they can attend or not, please make sure they respond with their intentions. If they must cancel, explain the necessity to inform the registrar IMMEDIATELY so others can attend in their place.
- Keep in touch with your guest and be sure to provide transportation to the church on Friday night. Plan to attend the Friday night community dinner with your guest, as well as the sponsor’s hour immediately after the send-off.
- Come to the candlelight and the closing to celebrate with your guest. Plan to take your guest home after the closing.
- During the weekend, please do not invite family or friends of the guest to the candlelight or closing unless they have attended a similar weekend themselves. Also refrain from anything more than casual contact with your guest. Events happening outside the weekend can be caught up after the weekend, unless an emergency is involved.
- If you have an emergency situation, do not approach your guest directly. Go to the servant leader of the weekend with the information for assistance.
