Abstract

The following document offers the results of a documentary investigation carried out to analyze the idea of a contextual pastoral care, with the purpose of making a critical review of the pertinent literature that can propose principles and elements that
serve as a guide to those who exercise the pastoral ministry. to increase the impact and benefit on the people they serve, thus achieving a human transformation appropriate to the needs of each space and moment in which they intervene. The article reviews
the historical framework in which the notion of pastoral work develops, starting from its origin in the Europeanized missionary model and compares the ideas of various authors, confronting them with another series of categories typical of the field of pastoral
ministry carried out by the different congregations. Evangelical in nature and historically rooted in Protestantism, but it is situated in a Latin American perspective, although it extrapolates its analysis to the contexts considered in the global South. The research proposes as a result a framework of analysis from which it is proposed to start to change the logic of pastoral intervention so that it is more in dialogue with the context in which it develops. This contextual Pastoral model framework is called: The House of Transformation.
