Abstract
Recognizing the biblical mandate for member involvement (Ephesians 4:11-13) and the call for every Christian to care for one another (2 Corinthians 1:3-5) this paper presents the process used to increase the involvement of our church members in caring for one another in hospitals, nursing homes and hospice facilities. Included in the project is an extensive literature review of Pastoral Care, Lay Involvement, Care Techniques and a study on members sharing their faith. All of this was accomplished during the COVID 19 pandemic
