Instructions:

Now that you have chosen your sponsor, it is time to spend a little more time with him/her to really get to know more about his/her faith journey. After all, the life-long role of your sponsor is to walk with you and support you on your own faith journey! You may find that you already know a lot or that there is a lot that you can learn!

Sometime during October, please set up a time to meet with your sponsor to “interview” him/her. It would be best to meet with your sponsor in person, but if this is not possible, because your sponsor lives out of town, you can interview your sponsor by phone or by email (last resort!) You can meet at your house or your sponsor’s house; you could meet for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; you could go for a walk together. BE CREATIVE!

You should plan to meet with your sponsor for at least one hour for this meeting. But feel free to meet for as long as you would like or multiple times!

Although you will be asking your sponsor questions in the format of an interview, your meeting should really be a discussion, with you adding your own insights and thoughts to the conversation. AND YOU NEED TO INVITE YOUR SPONSOR TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS TOO! (Your sponsor can ask you questions from the list on the next page or he/she can ask some of his/her own.) You are also welcome to ask your sponsor a question that is not included in the list! The questions are there to guide your discussion. You do not need to get through all of the questions, but feel free to do so!
