HOW DO I APPLY? Expand

Every participant must have a sponsor who has attended a Tres Dias or similar weekend (ie. Walk to Emmaus or Cursillo). Your sponsor provides support before and after your weekend. If you feel it is God’s will for you to attend, your sponsor will take the lead for your registration. Each weekend serves approximately 42 “candidates” or participants.

IS TRES DIAS A DENOMINATION? Expand

No. Tres Dias is not a substitute for active, contributing membership in your church. It is our prayer that God use Tres Dias as one of His many tools to help awaken the need for Christ in your life and/or strengthen the walk you already have with Him. We encourage candidates to be obedient in returning to their environments including their home church to spread the gospel of Christ.
