This journal explores the role of the Church Unity Body in strengthening the unity of Christian faith. The Church, as the body of Christ composed of various members from diverse backgrounds and traditions, is called to unite in one faith, one teaching, and one way of life aligned with the teachings of Christ. This unity is crucial for maintaining harmony within the community of believers and for addressing social and theological challenges in the modern world.The role of the Church Unity Body is evident through Bible teaching based on enduring truth, participation in sacraments such as Holy Communion and Baptism, as well as collaboration among churches in social service and mission. In this context, the church functions not only as a place of worship but also as a community that supports spiritual growth and the well-being of its members. The unity of Christian faith requires mutual respect, forgiveness, and humility among church members. By strengthening this unity, the church can provide a clearer testimony to the world, demonstrating that in Christ, differences can be reconciled in love that transcends all. This article also highlights the importance of the church’s role in building a unity of faith that goes beyond denominational boundaries, within the framework of ecumenism, to realize the wholeness of the body of Christ and bring about transformation in the world.

Christian education faces significant challenges in integrating the values of missional spirituality into its curriculum and teaching practices, particularly in the context of globalization, secularization, and a declining awareness of spiritual calling among educators. This study aims to examine the extent to which Pentecostal theological values such as prayer, worship, and mission are implemented in Christian education and how these values contribute to the formation of students' character and spirituality. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, curriculum document analysis, and open-ended questionnaires administered to teachers and students. The findings reveal that the integration of missional spirituality remains partial and lacks structured incorporation into both curriculum and pedagogy. However, when implemented contextually, these values have been shown to enhance learning motivation, shape Christian character, and deepen students’ spiritual lives. The study concludes that Pentecostal-based missional spirituality can holistically enrich Christian education. The primary contribution of this research is the development of a conceptual model for the contextual and practical integration of missional spirituality in Christian education, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical spiritual formation.  

Leaders at any level and in any organization are needed to organize and mobilize various resources in the organization in order to achieve the goals of the organization. Likewise in the context of educational organizations. The leaders of universities and school principals play a very important role in leading, organizing, mobilizing and managing the educational institutions they lead in order to create quality education. This research was conducted with a literature approach, where researchers examined various theoretical studies from experts on leadership in general, educational leadership and the findings of previous researchers related to the role and influence of educational leadership on achieving the goals of educational organizations. From various literatures, it can be concluded that the quality of leadership possessed by an educational leader substantially influences the success of an educational institution. The type and style of leadership they have and apply also determine the effectiveness and speed of an educational institution in achieving the vision and mission as outlined by the educational institution.

This thesis presents a conceptual analysis of the utilization of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) technology to support the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) in maintaining maritime security within the ALKI II (Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lane II) region, in order to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness. USVs are surface vessels that operate autonomously or are remotely controlled without onboard human presence. These vehicles can be operated from land-based control stations or from other vessels. The main research question addressed in this study is how the development and application of USV technology can support the Indonesian Navy’s mission in safeguarding maritime security within the ALKI II corridor. This study considers USVs as a surveillance asset, representing a technological advancement that can significantly enhance the Navy’s surveillance and monitoring capabilities. It is expected that the implementation of USVs will contribute to improved efficiency in securing and supervising ALKI II, while also promoting effective coordination among relevant stakeholders. Ultimately, the presence of USVs may help to reduce and prevent unlawful activities in the ALKI II waters. This research employs a qualitative methodology. The findings indicate that the use of USVs enhances both operational effectiveness and efficiency, thereby supporting the Indonesian Navy’s mission to secure the ALKI II region. This study aims to provide strategic recommendations to the Indonesian Navy regarding the development and integration of USV technology. It is anticipated that such measures will serve as a significant step toward reinforcing maritime security in the ALKI II corridor.

This study investigates the impact of tail configuration variations on flight stability and battery energy efficiency in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Three distinct tail types were tested: the conventional tail, the T-Tail, and the V-Tail. The objective was to compare how these tail designs affected the overall performance of UAVs, especially focusing on the balance between stability and energy efficiency. The experiments were conducted through a series of flight tests in a controlled outdoor environment, providing reliable and accurate data. During these flight tests, several performance metrics were recorded, including IMU-based angular deviations for pitch, roll, and yaw, energy consumption, flight time, voltage, and battery power. The data collected allowed for a thorough analysis of how the tail design influenced the flight characteristics of the UAVs. The results showed that the T-Tail configuration provided the highest flight stability, as indicated by the smallest angular deviations and minimal vibration during flight. This design’s enhanced stability made it the most reliable, especially for missions requiring precision control. In contrast, the V-Tail configuration proved to be the most energy-efficient, consuming only 22.80 Wh. Despite its low energy consumption, the V-Tail showed the lowest stability due to control coupling between the pitch and yaw axes, resulting in higher angular deviations and less precise control. The conventional tail, while not the best in terms of either stability or energy efficiency, struck a reasonable balance between the two. This configuration provided adequate stability while ensuring efficient battery usage, making it a suitable choice for general UAV applications. The findings of this study highlight the direct influence of tail design on UAV performance. There is a clear trade-off between flight stability and energy efficiency, with the conventional tail offering the best compromise.

Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelagic nation, holds a strategic position while simultaneously facing significant challenges in maintaining the sovereignty and security of its maritime territory. Increasingly complex maritime threats, such as illegal fishing, smuggling, and potential geopolitical conflicts, demand a transformation in maritime defense strategies to be more efficient and sustainable. In an era of increasing global awareness of the climate crisis, the maritime sector, including the defense sector, is being encouraged to decarbonize through the implementation of environmentally friendly ship technology. This research uses a literature review approach by examining various findings related to sustainable propulsion technology innovations relevant to the development of Indonesia's maritime defense fleet. The study results show that a hydrogen- and battery-based hybrid propulsion system can reduce carbon emissions by up to 73% and increase energy efficiency by 35%. In addition, wind-assisted propulsion sistem (WAPS) technology such as Flettner rotors and wing-sails contributes significantly to reducing fuel consumption by up to 30%, while extending ship cruising range without the need for intensive refueling. Meanwhile, the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based propeller design optimization has been proven to reduce energy consumption by 13.2% and reduce noise levels by up to 15 dB, which greatly supports the needs of stealth operations in military missions. This study concludes that the implementation of environmentally friendly ship technology not only provides benefits in terms of energy efficiency and emission reduction, but also strengthens the operational resilience and strategic competitiveness of the Indonesian naval fleet amidst the dynamics of global maritime security. Thus, the Green Navy concept can be seen as a relevant and urgently needed sustainable defense strategy.

Human resources play a fundamental role as a key component in supporting the success of an organization or agency, including village governments, as they serve as the link between formulated visions, missions, and targets and their actual implementation in the field. This study specifically focuses on examining the influence of transformational leadership, communication, and the work environment on the performance of village officials, with job satisfaction as a key mediating variable. The research method employed a quantitative approach with purposive sampling, involving 79 village officials deemed representative of the population. The findings indicate that transformational leadership partially has a significant impact on increasing the motivation, loyalty, and work ethic of village officials, as visionary leaders are able to direct, inspire, and encourage employees to work more optimally. Communication has also been shown to play a significant role, as open, two-way, and transparent communication minimizes misunderstandings and creates harmonious working relationships among employees and between superiors and subordinates. A conducive work environment, both physically, psychologically, and socially, contributes to a sense of security, comfort, and higher work morale. Furthermore, this study confirms that job satisfaction is a crucial mediating factor in linking transformational leadership, communication, and the work environment with the performance of village officials. This is because when employees are satisfied with their jobs, their commitment, productivity, and dedication to their tasks increase significantly. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for an integrated strategy in human resource management at the village level, with an emphasis on an inspirational leadership style, an effective communication system, the creation of a healthy work environment, and increasing job satisfaction as a sustainable effort.

The Idrisid dynasty played a crucial role in the spread of Islam in Morocco during the late 8th century CE. Founded by Idris I, the dynasty successfully unified various Berber tribes under Islamic rule. Through political consolidation, social integration, and cultural development, the Idrisids strengthened the foundations of Islam in the region. They established key urban centers such as Fez, which became a major hub for Islamic scholarship and missionary activities. Their support for education, the construction of mosques, and the promotion of the Zaidi Shia school of thought significantly accelerated the Islamization process among the local population. This article examines the process of Islamic dissemination in Morocco by the Idrisid dynasty, the factors contributing to its success, and the religious and cultural legacy it left behind. Using a historical-analytical approach, the study highlights how the Idrisids not only facilitated the Islamization of Morocco but also laid the groundwork for the broader development of Islamic civilization in the Maghreb region.

This study explores the challenges of evangelism in the modern era, particularly in reaching groups that are apathetic towards the gospel. Using 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 as its foundation, which highlights the importance of flexibility in evangelistic approaches to reach speople from various backgrounds, this research applies the Apostle Paul’s concept of adaptability to contemporary evangelism among apathetic groups. Specifically, it examines how biblically-based adaptive strategies can be utilized by churches and individual Christians in their evangelistic mission. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the application of the principle of flexibility in 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 for apathetic groups and to assess how this principle can enhance the effectiveness of evangelism in today’s context. Through this research, it is hoped that new, more relevant approaches for ministry in a diverse society will be identified. This study employs a qualitative method, using biblical text analysis and systematic theological reflection. Findings indicate that applying the principle of flexibility in evangelism is not only effective in addressing apathy, but also allows evangelists to build more personal and empathetic relationships with those they seek to reach. In Paul’s sense, flexibility involves adapting without compromising gospel truth, offering a pertinent strategy for meeting the challenges of evangelizing to apathetic individuals.

The church is the Body of Christ that carries out God’s vision and mission in the world to bring many lost souls. Often the church is confused when it has to determine its attitude towards people who sin. One extreme attitude is to just let someone fall into sin because they are afraid of offending that person. Another extreme attitude is to hate sin so much that they also hate the person who does it. Discipline in the church is a major oversight in some churches today. The church also often misunderstands the meaning of church discipline and misimplements it to the congregation. The church misunderstands that church discipline is a form of punishment given not as a warning or reprimand to regret mistakes and return to the right path. From the title of this article, the author describes the results of the discussion using the Qualitative method through a literature research study sourced from scientific papers in the form of journals and related articles that produce several discussions including: the definition and purpose of church discipline, forms of church discipline, challenges in implementing church discipline, and the last is how church discipline can build a spiritually and socially healthy congregation community. The discussion of this article is described by the author to the readers so that they can increase their insight and even teach and encourage the church to always be firm in disciplining congregations who commit sins based on the truth of God’s word.

This article explores the relevance of the contemporary church through the lens of systematic theology by examining the concepts of visibility (the church’s tangible presence) and invisibility (its spiritual and unseen essence). The topic is crucial as many churches today face a tension between their social engagement and their spiritual identity. The central issue addressed in this research is how the church can maintain its theological integrity while remaining visibly active and impactful in an ever-changing society. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, analyzing theological texts, academic articles, and biblical references to investigate ecclesiological perspectives on integrating visibility and invisibility. The data is analyzed descriptively and reflectively to identify theological patterns and practical implications for the life of the church today. The findings reveal that a relevant church is one that successfully integrates both visible and invisible dimensions. Visibility is essential for contextual engagement with the world, while invisibility sustains spiritual depth and fidelity to Christ. This integration results in a church that is actively present in society, while also rooted in holiness, love, and prophetic mission. The study recommends that churches engage in theological reflection to reassess their identity and ministry to remain relevant without losing their spiritual direction.

The mission of God, or Mission Dei, begins with God Himself. God is not only the source of salvation, but also the center of the mission; therefore, without God there is no mission. So, God is the source, initiator, executor, and fulfiller of His purpose. The purpose comes from the heart of God and never changes. The cultural mandate, or cultural mandate, is the first mandate given to humans. God made humans to rule over all living things, including livestock, sea animals, birds of the air, and fish in the sea and the Great Commission written in Matthew 28:19-20 tells of Jesus' mission asking everyone to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach through literature study. This study concluded that by studying holistic mission theology based on Genesis 1:28 and Matthew 28:19-20, we can understand that mission is not only preaching the Word but also having the responsibility to prosper humans both physically and spiritually and can manage natural resources where they are.

Women in the village government in Wewiku District, Malaka Regency in 2013, the number of Lamea Village officials is more dominant than Seserai, Lorotolus and Alkani villages. Therefore, the main problem raised in this study is to find out why the number of women in the Lamea Village government structure is more dominant than other villages and how the leadership patterns of female village heads and village officials are in organizing village government in Lamea Village, Wewiku District. The method used in this study is a qualitative description using a descriptive case study method. The results of the study indicate that the reason for the dominance of women in the government structure in Lamea Village is because female leaders have high intelligence, have a vision and mission and are able to communicate the vision and mission well, and have high communication skills.
