Visitation Ministry
Delroy Green
James 1:27, "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows…"
Here at the West Bay Church of Christ, we care about every member. We lay aside our busy schedules and excuses and make people a priority. Those who need encouragement, comfort, or a sense of belonging benefit from this ministry. It also serves to remind them that they are not forgotten.
We Pay Keen Attention To:
- Members living in nursing homes
- Those who are sick for a prolonged period of time
- People who are hospitalized
- Bereaved people
- The shut-in among us
- Widows
Typical Visit:
- Exhort and encourage with scripture, prayer, psalms & hymns and spiritual songs.
- Listening and let them talk. A person would find great relief simply by being allowed to talk; to share what is in their heart.
- We get to know them better and learn about their individual need.
- Extend the gift of touch. Appropriate hug, a hand on the shoulder, or holding their hands communicates warmth and christian care and love..
To God be the Glory!
