Q.  Why are we requested to take sponsorship training if we have been in
Emmaus for years?
A.  We only ask that our community review the sponsorship training to
remind each of us how vitally important good sponsorship is.  It seems every
once in awhile we have a pilgrim whose experience on the walk is not as
blessed as it should be.  Sometimes a pilgrim did not have agape letters, or
was not accompanied by their sponsor to send-off, or their sponsor was not
there for them during candlelight.  Our hope and prayer is that by training
our community with good sponsorship techniques, each and every pilgrim will
feel truly blessed by the outward flow of agape love by their sponsor.   We
have seen how devastating and painful poor sponsorship can be.  Our only
purpose is that each and every pilgrim be given the wonderful blessing of an
awesome, loving sponsor.

Q.  Why don't you send the Crumbs in the mail anymore?
A.  We do!  As a matter of fact, our current mailing list is just over
1,300 Bread of Life Community members.  We also electronically notify more
than 300 additional Community members who responded to our plea a few years
ago.  Back then, the Community was asked to help reduce the cost of printing
and mailing the newsletter by agreeing to receive the Crumbs via the
internet.  The newsletter is the same no matter which way you select to
receive it . the only difference is that you must print your own copy from
the website if you choose to receive it electronically.

Q.  Who can participate in the Saturday night entertainment?

A.  Anyone is welcome to come and participate in the Saturday evening entertainment.  If you are sponsoring a pilgrim you should not participate, especially because you do not want to be seen by your pilgrim.  Rehearsals start at 4:45 pm on Saturday.  The performance starts as soon and the pilgrims are served.   It is appreciated if everyone helps with putting music and props away after the entertainment.  This is all for fun and is a chance to show humor as agape to the pilgrims.  Potential chickens, piano players and any singers are welcome to come and have fun!
