Abstract
Thirty-five years ago the term "visitation evangelism” had, in all probability, never been spoken. Today it is in common usage in nearly every major Protestant church body in America. The method of visitation evangelism is widely employed throughout the country. Some enthusiastic advocates anticipate its use in every city, village, and hamlet. With voice seldom raised and with methods far from spectacular, visitation evangelism has been instrumental in gathering large numbers of members into Protestant churches. It is estimated that in the past five years three million men and women have been trained in visitation evangelism. In large measure this work accounts for the rapid growth of the churches in America in recent years.
