Sponsoring a New Koinonian for a Koinonia Weekend is an uplifting and beautiful experience, but it is also a serious responsibility, requiring prayerful consideration, loving support and follow-up. The following is a set of responsibilities that accompany the act of sponsorship.

Get the New Koinonian's pre-paid registration in early to ensure a spot on the desired Weekend date. Make certain your New Koinonian has an adequate understanding of Koinonia. Be open and honest with them. Answer all questions truthfully and fully. Let them know this is a Christian renewal Weekend. Make certain your New Koinonian has all the required information concerning facilities, location and time of the Weekend. Help with transportation, if necessary. Remember it is much easier for them to come with another person. Better yet, why not bring your New Koinonian to the Weekend (unless you are a Team member). Arrange for childcare, or pet-sitting if needed. Support the Weekend, the Team, and the New Koinonians with prayer. Make certain your New Koinonian's application specifies any special physical, personal, or dietary needs. Support the Weekend with donations of goodies, Palanka and/or money.

When inviting someone to attend a Koinonia Weekend please provide them with a Registration Form and a Brochure.

• Care for children and pets of the person(s) you are sponsoring.
• Attend Mananitas, your New Koinonian will want to see you.
• Attend the closing on Sunday to show your support.
• Support your New Koinonian and the entire Weekend with prayer.

Keep in close contact with your New Koinonian, showing love and support. Bring your New Koinonian to join a prayer and share group. Bring your New Koinonian to Ultreyas and Palanka Parties. Continue your prayer support for the New Koinonian and the community as a whole.
