Résumé
The purpose of this paper is to defend the shepherding role of the minister through pastoral visitation as something that is still relevant and necessary in church work. This is to show to other ministers that pastoral care through home visitation is still much needed by the people of God and they should never neglect that role for the healing of life. The children of God in the world are human beings who experience circumstances that would cause them to suffer physically, emotionally, and mentally including the moral and spiritual aspects of their lives. It is in these predicaments that the people of God need most the care of their pastors to strengthen and nurture them in their spiritual life. It is with this concern that the author of this paper wish to convince other ministers to preserve this pastoral responsibility and privilege.

The author will not deal with the whole aspect of pastoral care but will only include home visitation as a specific activity for this area of ministry.
