The last three decades have witnessed an exponential growth of the Church in South Asia. Regions that have been formerly closed to the gospel, are beginning to witness an unprecedented harvest. However, South Asia continues to present a daunting challenge to proclaim the uniqueness of Christ within its multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious milieu. There is an urgent requirement for skilled workers in the vast and populous harvest fields of Southern Asia. Since it is not possible for the majority of those who desire to be equipped for ministry to enroll in formal residential theological education, it is imperative to find alternative ways of training. Most of the ministerial training that is available through online and distance education in Southern Asia, focuses on academic and ministerial formation. However, the vital aspect of growth in Christian maturity is often not given due consideration. Thus, ways of nurturing Christian formation in online and distance education needs to be developed. The problem to be solved could be concisely stated in this manner: "What should constitute a transformative model for nurturing Christian formation for students involved in ministerial training through online and distance education, in the context of the Global School of Open Learning, Bangalore?" The purpose of this ministry project was fourfold: first of all, to establish a biblical basis for Christian formation in ministerial training; secondly, to examine other contexts where Christian formation in online and distance education was nurtured through the use of cyberspace; thirdly, to develop a curriculum through which Christian formation could be applied to the Global School of Open Learning, Bangalore; and finally, to "measure" the effectiveness of the curriculum by comparing the post-test evaluation with the pre-test analysis. The author witnessed a qualitative change in the ministerial training offered at the Global School of Open Learning, Bangalore by nurturing transformative Christian formation. Since the initial offering in 2020, two other courses on Christian formation have been added to the existing curricula. This has made the training at the school more holistic by addressing the vital dimensions of Christian formation in distance and online theological education.
