SPONSORSHIP
Sponsorship
must be viewed as a total commitment not just a partial act of selection.
Sponsorship means to help someone become more of a leader for Christ through
the Tres Dias experience. As a sponsor consider the following:
1. Recognize that Tres Dias is not for
everyone. Offering Tres Dias to someone comes only after I am willing to make a
significant commitment to that person. If I am not willing to make that
commitment, I should not sponsor.
2. Have I honestly looked at my reasons for
sponsoring?
3. Do I know the person or do I know about the
person?
4. Have I prayed for guidance and sought
counsel with other experienced Pescadores? Is this the right time for the
candidate?
5. How do I feel regarding sponsorship of this
person’s spouse? If possible the applications for married couples should be
submitted together.
6. Am I willing to make a significant
commitment to my candidate?
Weekend Support
Sponsors
should support candidates on the weekend by providing transportation, praying
for the weekend, providing a general palanca, personal palanca letter to their
candidate; offering to help candidate’s family, providing baby-sitter for
children if needed, attending the closing and any other needs that would be
helpful.
Fourth Day Support
Sponsors
should recognize that a commitment is being made to the candidate by sending
the candidate to Tres Dias. The sponsor should help the new Pescadores to live
the Fourth Day as it is presented on the weekend, by encouraging the new
Pescadores to join, or form a reunion group and to attend Secuelas and
Secretariat meetings. In general, the sponsor should be responsive to the needs
of the new Pescadores until the new Pescadores are established in the Fourth
Day.
