Abstract

The Mangalap Tondi ritual is a traditional practice in Batak Toba culture that aims to recall a person’s soul (tondi) believed to be lost or weakened. This study seeks to analyze the ritual from a Christian faith perspective, employing a qualitative approach through theological, anthropological, and cultural literature review. As the majority of Batak people are now Christians, a tension has emerged between ancestral beliefs and Christian teachings. The findings reveal a complex dynamic between the Mangalap Tondi tradition and Christian faith, particularly concerning the concepts of spirit, the power of God, and salvation. This study highlights the importance of a contextual approach in engaging with local cultural practices without compromising the integrity of Christian faith. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of contextual theology within modern Batak society.

Abstract

The Ebenhaezer team is a team formed by students of STT Ebenhaezer (STTE) Tanjung Enim semester IV for the academic year 2021/2022, This is a community service assigned by STT Ebenhaezer to students who practice 5 weeks or between semesters. The team's burden to carry out this program was because they saw the needs of Sunday school children and youth/adolescents as the backbone of the church. So with that, there is a need for coaching for Sunday school children and also for youth/adolescents at GKPA specifically in the Sipirok area so that they can grow in God. Various programs are designed to review children and young people/adolescents in developing their faith in the Lord Jesus, therefore, of course the Team is required to be creative in every program that has been made in order to achieve successful spiritual growth of children and youth.
