In sponsoring someone, the best way given is to share
your own experience,
strength and hope. A lot of this website is for inner
growth of ourselves. I am trying to add weekly, new topics on sponsorship
from my own experience, strength and hope. There are so many different
topics that are important to me in sponsorship, it is hard to organize, and put
it all together. I am going to try to cover several different topics for
you. I also thought it would be nice to add assorted downloads
and links to help you to answer questions and have printable papers for homework
you've done or will do. It is so hard to know what assignments to take on,
or give out to your sponsee's. I have found some really neat
downloadable homework templates, and assignments on the web. If you know
of any others you would like listed, please let us know. I am not
recommending that you give or do any homework, I am only offering what I have
found on the internet for your own personal use. None of this is going to
take the place of working with a sponsor, but I hope it aides you along the
way. I will include the links for the different steps on the web page of that
step. Literature on each topic can also be found on each web page.
Assorted downloads and homework are listed below. Click on the TOPIC you
interested in, and it will take you to the area you want to see more about.
I hope you enjoy the site!

Service is
like wetting your pants.
