God clearly intends that lives of Christians and the life of the church should differ from those of the unredeemed. The Christian and the church should be “salt and light.” Preparing spiritual leaders who have the grace, credibility, and wisdom to effect such change demands more than transmission of knowledge. Equipping for transformative ministry requires a divinely empowered and educationally intentional experience that leads to transformation in the lives of students. Ministry Education that Transforms brings together theological insight and educational research in support of practical methods that align with transformative ends. The authors’ experience with Global Associates for Transformational Education (GATE) workshops, and the impact they have had with this approach to education formation, testifies that this is not a mere call for change, but a tried and tested methodology crucial to theological education.

El propósito de Dios es que la vida de los cristianos y de la iglesia sea diferente a la vida de los inconversos. Los cristianos y la iglesia deben ser «sal y luz». Preparar a líderes espirituales que tengan la gracia, la credibilidad y la sabiduría para lograr tales cambios demanda más que transmisión de conocimientos. Equipar para un ministerio transformador requiere una experiencia divinamente empoderada y educacionalmente planificada que lleve a la transformación en las vidas de los estudiantes.Educación ministerial que transforma une el conocimiento teológico y la investigación educacional para apoyar métodos prácticos alineados con fines transformadores. La experiencia del autor con los talleres de Asociados Globales para la Educación Transformacional (GATE) y el impacto que han tenido en la formación de la educación con este enfoque, dan testimonio de que este no es un simple llamado al cambio, sino una metodología probada y analizada, que es crucial para la educación teológica.
