This article discusses how churches are adapting their missiology in the digital age by combining traditional methods and modern technology to reach younger generations. Through a mixed-method approach and interviews with leaders of the GMIM Victory Minanga Indah church, the study found that technological advances have opened up significant opportunities for spreading the Gospel through social media and digital platforms. However, the main challenge is maintaining the depth and authenticity of the Gospel message amid the rapid and diverse flow of information. Therefore, ministry strategies must be innovative, contextual, and interactive to be more effective and relevant. The role of church leaders is crucial in managing technology while upholding theological values to ensure the mission remains rooted in Christian teachings. In conclusion, missiology in the digital age must be dynamic and adaptive, blending technology with the foundation of faith to expand the reach of ministry in an inclusive and sustainable manner.

Faith transformation is a spiritual process that changes the lives of believers so that they become more Christ-like, both internally and externally. This paper discusses the importance of a living and dynamic faith that has a real impact in daily life. Churches and church leaders have a strategic role in the development of the congregation through spiritual education, social services, character building, and the utilization of technology. The faith transformation model involves a continuous spiritual journey that starts from awareness of God's call, repentance, to becoming an agent of social change. The impact of faith transformation includes individual spiritual maturity, contribution to church ministry, and positive influence on the wider community. With a purposeful strategy, a transformed congregation can become a channel of God's love that blesses the family, the church, and the world.

This article examines pastoral counseling strategies for congregants whose Christian faith is weakened by sustained exposure to secular digital content. The problem is not framed as a deterministic claim that digital media directly destroys faith, but as a practical-theological concern: algorithmic personalization, secular moral imaginaries, online doubt communities, entertainment habits, and fragmented attention can reshape belief, practice, belonging, and trust in church authority. The study aims to construct a counseling model that is theologically responsible, psychologically informed, and pastorally usable in local churches. Using a conceptual qualitative design, the article synthesizes literature from digital religion studies, mediatization theory, adolescent and emerging-adult religiosity, media psychology, religious coping, and spiritually integrated counseling. The analysis identifies three main findings. First, faith degradation should be diagnosed as a layered process involving cognitive doubt, affective dryness, moral dissonance, ritual discontinuity, and communal displacement. Second, pastoral counseling must move beyond prohibition toward discerning digital habits, rebuilding spiritual attention, and restoring relational trust. Third, an integrated strategy is proposed: assessment of digital-spiritual formation, narrative and theological reconstruction, communal re-embedding, and digital rule-of-life practices. The article concludes that pastoral counseling in the digital age should function as a ministry of interpretive accompaniment rather than merely corrective instruction.

This research aims to analyze the existence and strategic role of the Lembaga Inspirasi Al-Qur’an (LIA) in transforming media-based da'wah into a global tafsir literacy movement. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and digital documentation, this study explores how LIA addresses the challenges of religious literacy among urban communities. The research findings indicate that LIA has successfully developed an integrated da'wah model that combines three main pillars: broadcasting media through the "One Day One Ayat" program on RRI, the production of tafsir literacy (Tafsir Inspirasi, Tafseer of Inspiration, and the Tafsir Muyassar Inspirasi project), and social movements based on waqf. The historical roots of LIA, which began with radio-based da'wah activities in 2006, evolved into a formal institution in 2012 with state recognition through the tashih certification from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The strategy of cross-country intellectual collaboration and a waqf distribution system spanning 24 provinces and 10 countries are key to expanding the reach of this tafsir literacy. The results conclude that LIA's success lies in its moderate thematic tafsir methodology, linguistic innovation (bilingualism), and a systematic operational system in grounding the messages of the Al-Qur’an at the grassroots level dynamically.

This study aims to analyze the strategies of the Ministry of Religious Affairs Office in strengthening religious moderation among the community and to comprehensively identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. Religious moderation is a strategic issue in maintaining harmony, tolerance, and social integrity amid the increasing complexity of religious and cultural diversity in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques to obtain in-depth and relevant information. The findings indicate that the strategies implemented include strengthening religious literacy through outreach and guidance activities, cross-sector collaboration with religious leaders and local governments, optimizing the role of religious instructors, and utilizing social media as an effective means of public education. In addition, fostering the younger generation through interfaith dialogue programs and inclusive religious activities serves as a preventive measure to counter radicalism and intolerance. The challenges faced include limited human resources and resistance from certain community groups toward religious moderation programs. Overall, the strategies implemented are considered fairly effective in fostering tolerant, inclusive, and harmonious attitudes within society.

In the context of the existence and function of the church, as well as within the scope of the clergy's duties, the question of ethical and pastoral legitimacy for a pastor to own and manage a business or venture that provides additional income outside the church institution continues to be the subject of ongoing discussion. There are views that are skeptical of this practice, arguing that the position of clergy as business owners can give rise to potential conflicts of interest, where business decisions and activities can potentially conflict with the principles and doctrines of the religion they adhere to. In order to explore this issue further, researchers are interested in conducting a biblical study, with a special focus on Pauline narratives related to this topic. The methodological approach adopted in this research is qualitative, with data collection carried out through extensive literature analysis. The findings of this research indicate that Paul does not seem to oppose the concept of bi-vocationalism. In contrast, the practice of clergy holding secular jobs in addition to their ministry duties may be considered a viable strategy, especially for smaller churches, as a means of supporting the continuity of their ministry.

Mohammad Hardiansyah. Strategy to Improve The Discipline of FireFighting Personnel to the Palembang Fire and Disaster Management Service. This study aims to Improve the Discipline of Fire Fighting Personnel to the Palembang Fire And Disaster Management Service. The results show that from the results of research that has been carried out it can be said that the Strategy for Increasing Discipline of Personnel Related to Fire Fighting Services to the Community at the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service has not been effective because there are several indicators that have not been met from the side of external training that are not. can be followed by all personnel due to limited funds, as well as the support of facilities and facilities that are still not supported. For training activities carried out by employees, namely internal training for Levels I, II and III, while external training is held at the DKI Jakarta Fire Department in Ciracas, and has now been implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs.  The supporting factor in this research is where the ASN development policy, as well as agency support for internal training and personal motivation are the main and important things, although in the future there will need to be other improvements. In addition, the existence of rewards and punishments is also a motivation to improve work discipline. Improving the quality of work is apart from the quality of personnel, also in terms of improving supporting facilities and infrastructure, currently the facilities owned are still not in accordance with the needs, so this is the inhibiting factor in this research. Then a lot of fire fighting equipment is still lacking, be it hoses, pumps, for reasons of budget constraints, of course this triggers the fire fire operation process

This study is focused on the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) growth in Indonesia. Various literature sources have been consulted to address the existing problems, and secondary data from relevant agencies such as BPS, BI, and the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs have been used. The challenges faced by SMEs in enhancing their business capabilities are multifaceted, encompassing several indicators. These include insufficient capital, both in terms of quantity and sources, inadequate managerial and operational skills in organizing, and limited marketing opportunities. Moreover, there is also unhealthy competition and economic pressures leading to a restricted and narrow business scope. It is crucial to address these concerns, especially in anticipation of Indonesia's participation in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the resulting open market. It is imperative for SMEs to enhance their competitiveness. However, these problems can be effectively tackled through various policies that facilitate easy access for SMEs to the banking industry. The fact that only 13.6% of credit growth is disbursed by the banking sector demonstrates that capital-related issues can be easily resolved, subsequently impacting management and enabling the production of more competitive products. By effectively addressing the challenges posed by the AEC, the government's concerns can be better addressed.

This strategy includes five stages: goals, environment, direction, action, and measurement. This research concludes that sustainable and integrated efforts are needed to significantly reduce the prevalence of stunting in Central Java.    

Mining is a crucial sector in the global economy, yet it faces high risks and serious potential hazards for workers. According to statistical data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the number of mining accidents in 2023 increased significantly compared to 2021 and previous years, totaling 217 incidents. Therefore, the effective implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) is necessary to protect worker safety and health. The purpose of this writing is to review the implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) in mining companies, covering policy establishment, K3 planning, K3 plan execution, K3 performance monitoring and evaluation, as well as review and enhancement of OHSMS performance. This review employs a Literature Study method, sourcing data and articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Based on the literature study, the analysis of Occupational Health and Safety Management System implementation reveals that, on average, mining companies have their own policies established. Regarding K3 planning, each company has its own K3 planning strategy. However, the execution of K3 plans shows varying levels of implementation across different companies. In terms of performance monitoring and evaluation, companies assess K3 performance using specific indicators and undertake necessary improvements. Finally, review and performance enhancement efforts are undertaken for continuous improvement.

This research will discuss the historical issue of the beginning of the Christian indigenization movement in Java up to its development. This was done in response to the Dutch colonial era zending (Western evangelists) who did not care about Javanese culture. Kyai Sadrach, an indigenous evangelist, made a major contribution to the indigenization movement in Java. His ministry was very successful in forming a Christian community in Java. He had started to establish a church whose congregation was native people and grew very rapidly in his time. By the end of his life, Kyai Sadrach's congregation had reached 20,000 members (1869-1823). Kyai Sadrach focuses on services to rural communities. The strategy used is a cultural contextual approach and local customary procedures, especially those related to Islamic customs, so that it gets good acceptance. Therefore, this research was created to provide an understanding of the Christian indigenization movement in Java and how big the influence of Kyai Sadrach was in this movement.

The aim of this research is to examine the Public Relations (PR) strategies within the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Health Polytechnic (Poltekkes) Palu in attracting prospective new students. The study employs Ronald D. Smith's Strategic Planning for Public Relations, which categorizes its steps into four phases: formative research, strategy, tactics, and evaluative research. The research methodology used is a qualitative approach with a case study. Data is collected through observation and interviews with key informants from the Public Relations Department of Poltekkes Palu and relevant stakeholders. The findings from the formative research phase indicate that Poltekkes Palu's PR has identified several conventional strategies that are not effective in attracting new students, such as brochures, banners, and traditional forms of socialization. In the strategy phase, Poltekkes Palu plans to create podcasts to build brand awareness and market through social media as part of a broader marketing tactic. Social media is deemed a highly relevant channel, especially for reaching high school students. During the evaluation of the previous academic year, the Public Relations Department of Poltekkes Palu recognized valuable insights into the shortcomings of their strategies for student recruitment. The evaluation results show that the use of social media and digital marketing was not fully implemented in the previous academic year. Therefore, evaluative research serves as the foundation for identifying areas of improvement and refinement.
