1. The "Visitation" Team is a group of people who are mobilized to visit members in the Body who are hospitalized or are ill and are recovering at home. We normally go out in twos with the purpose of obeying God's Word to "lay hands on the sick". We also desire to read and to pray the Scriptures over them as well as to encourage them in their time of struggle.
