Everyone that attends a Tres Dias Weekend can probably think of a few people they would love to share the experience with. That is the heart of Tres Dias Weekends... Sponsoring a Candidate to the next weekend. Sponsorship is a vital part of the Tres Dias movement, if the community is to grow spiritually and numerically. The only way a person may become a candidate is to be sponsored by someone that has already attended a Tres Dias weekend. Sponsorship is a serious responsibility, the sponsor should seek God’s will and guidance through prayer as to whom to sponsor and be sensitive in approaching a potential candidate. The Sponsor should recognize that a long-term commitment is being made to the Candidate by sending the Candidate to a Tres Dias weekend. The weekend will not produce a permanent effect without Fourth Day involvement, and therefore, the sponsor should ‘sponsor’ the prospective candidate through all phases of the Tres Dias movement, rather than just the weekend. The Sponsor should help the new Pescador to live the 4th Day as it is presented on the weekend, by encouraging the new Pescador to be an active and contributing member of a church body, by encouraging him/her to join or form a Reunion Group, attend Secuelas, and maybe even become involved in the local Secretariat. In general, the Sponsor should be responsive to the needs of a new Pescador until the Pescador is well established in the 4th Day. This is the very reason why it is pretty important to already have a good relationship and friendship with the candidate you are sponsoring. Already knowing them, and who is important in their lives is very valuable in not only sponsoring for the weekend, but continuing to encourage and help them really fully be involved as a member of the community in their fourth day walk. We have resources for you and ways to gain knowledge about what sponsoring a candidate means. You can find information here. You can also read about what information is available for the candidate. And the best resource, the one who sponsored you! Ask questions and engage their help if you have someone you are interested in sponsoring for the next weekend. Even better, you have a whole community of Tres Dias members willing to share and help in any way! The By-Laws for our Treasure Valley Tres Dias Community
Did you know that Treasure Valley Tres Dias operates on By-Laws that were established when our group was formed? These By-Laws were written into existence and approved by Tres Dias International Secretariat. They detail our local structure and how it operates. Over the years they have been amended when needed, but always documented and approved. Our newest By-Laws have been edited and approved and are HERE for you to read so that you may understand more of what the Secretariat and our community is about. Take a minute to read when you can. Would you like to be a part of future newsletters? I'm looking for anyone in our community that would like to contribute a short testimony about what Tres Dias has meant in their 4th day lives that you would not mind me publishing. It can be published by name or anonymously! Can you help? Send your writings to me at [email protected] and subtitle it: For the Newsletter. Thanks in advance! - Jean Hershey, Communications Blessings to you all! Till we meet again!
