Abstract

The church has the responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission through evangelistic ministry that is responsive to the needs of society. However, the implementation of evangelistic mission faces various challenges that require churches to develop contextual ministry strategies while actively involving the entire congregation. This study aims to describe the role of GEKI MRC Medan Marelan Church in carrying out its evangelistic mission and to identify the forms of ministry that support the implementation of this mission. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The research participants consisted of church members, cell group leaders, and church ministry leaders. The findings reveal that GEKI MRC Medan Marelan Church plays an active role in conducting various evangelistic activities, including seminars, Bible study, social outreach, pastoral home visits, and community-based programs involving local residents. These activities encourage congregational participation in ministry while expanding the reach of the Gospel through relational and contextual approaches. The findings also indicate that the active involvement of church members strengthens the relationship between the church and the community and enhances the effectiveness of evangelistic ministry. The study implies that churches should continue to develop innovative, participatory, and adaptive evangelistic strategies in response to social changes so that evangelistic ministry remains relevant and generates a positive impact on both the congregation and the wider community.

Abstract

This study discusses the implications of prayer discipline in shaping the congregation's heart attitude to experience faith growth at the Indonesian Apostles' Olive Church (GZRI) Lubuk Pakam. Christ has given parables about prayer and various teachings about it. Not only that, Christ also gives us an understanding of the guarantee of prayer and how important prayer is in increasing faith in God and growing into a transformed congregation so that it has a heart attitude, and in this case, is willing to be involved in existing services. Prayer is a form of communication with God conveyed in requests and requests to God, which can be in the form of hope, praise, and gratitude. This activity is a form of spirituality between humans and God where there is a relationship to build faith in God. This research is motivated by direct observation and involvement in activities called Community Service (PKM) at GZRI Lubuk Pakam, where it was found that there were attitudes of the heart that were still less aware of the importance of prayer. This attitude is influenced by the busy work activities of the congregation, resulting in a lack of response to every activity in the church, which in turn will hinder the growth of the congregation, not only in the quality of faith but also in the quantity of the congregation in the church. This study uses the methodfield research (field research) Data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed a lack of response from the congregation. The responses analyzed reflected awareness, perseverance, and humility. The implications of these findings offer practical recommendations for service delivery at GZRI Lubuk Pakam.
