In response to a widespread decline in the number of children attending church, many churches have sought to reach out to children in a host of different ways, including regular home visiting.  But how effective is it?

Using principles of evangelism drawn from Jesus' ministry as a benchmark, and looking at a detailed case-study, this booklet seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of regular home visiting.  It concludes that, although home visiting has limitations, if well practised it can be a signigficant part of a wider strategy for sharing with children the good news of Jesus.
