The thesis of this evaluation project suggests that when Christians fail to respond to hurting people in their local community it may be because they lack training and meaningful support systems. An examination of three programs that prepare and personally involve laity in their own neighborhoods indicates the following: fear is overcome when training includes concrete, progressive, supervised experience; non-professional volunteers make a unique contribution out of their own knowledge of crisis; the support of a church community, in which clergy function as resource people rather than leaders, strengthens lay leadership and commitment; service-ministries are handicapped by inadequate funding.
