To Transform the World

This paper is the capstone of my Master of Arts in Transformational Leadership (MATL). Through every class assignment, I sought to understand how to convey the Gospel in words that resonate with culture and how I may help others grow in the likeness of Christ as I align my own life with Him. This paper bears witness to what I have learned and how I mastered the answer to these questions. The first chapter presents key books that support my reflection on this journey. They helped me appreciate the significance of the Gospel on a personal and global level. They also allowed me to see how my life participates in the biblical narrative. The second chapter summarizes the notions gained from my studies in resonance with my quest. Through it, I reflect on the meaning of the Gospel, and I define how it transforms believers into the image of Christ. Lastly, I expound on the notion of transformation as it applies to communities and the Kingdom of God. While celebrating what I have learned, I will set my scope on what lies ahead in the third chapter. It will be an opportunity for me to define, in dialogue with my Personal Learning Community (PLC), the objectives of my journey forward, my work and studies, and my relationships.

The appendices of this paper summarize the final projects of my classes. They stand as a reference tool for teaching and ministry
