Abstract
The process of a four-dimensional conversion and/or transformation strives in helping the
leadership of an organisation, especially such as the church, with practical ways that may
lead to the development of an effective leadership by observing the four important aspects
of human spirituality as elaborated on in the article. The spiritual, intellectual, moral and
socio-political dimensions of the transformation can be catered for so that the complete inner
being of humans, as well as their social and political attitudes and behaviours, can equally
be transformed to maximum spiritual, personal and socio-political profitability. Mutombo-
Mukendi demonstrates that the need for a spiritual leadership that can contribute to an
effective transformation of Africa is dire, both for the church and the larger community.
The real challenge is how to develop such leadership. This article provides intentional and
practical ways that may lead to the development of the needed leadership. Four-dimensional
transformation of people can be planned and carried out both in the church arena and in the
surrounding communities. Skills development and transfer can also take place when skilled
people from the church work with unskilled people from the community.
