Follow-Up SponsorshipFollow-up Sponsorship

Sponsorship is a long-term activity.  It doesn't end at the closing ceremony.  After the Chrysalis weekend, sponsors should encourage new Butterflies to join Next Steps groups.  Give them an opportunity to talk about their three-day experience and what it meant to them.

Invite new Butterflies to attend Hoots/Gatherings with you to help them feel included.  Inform them of ways to participate in the Chrysalis Community and support upcoming Chrysalis events.  Also encourage them to serve on a leadership team.

Invite new Butterflies to become part of your church and youth group if they don't have one of their own.  Encourage them to follow through on fresh hopes and dreams, decisions, and changes they feel God is calling them to make.  Help them act on new commitments.

Assist new Butterflies in sponsoring others.  Make sure they know the responsibilities and the expectations of being a sponsor.  Above all, be a model sponsor yourself.

Sponsorship is an act of love for God, for young people, for the Chrysalis Community, and for the church.  It is a living demonstration of agape love.  Through sponsorship, we become instruments of God's design and desire for the person we sponsor.
