Abstract

Service practice is reasonably well recognised in education, especially Christian education which seeks to emulate the example of Jesus. However, service-learning has emerged as a transformative educational practice that provides a framework and curriculum producing transformative positive outcomes for students that equip them for their role as future democratic citizens, and further as representatives of Jesus.
