Abstract

Advent is a period of preparation for the coming of the Lord. The Imanuel Surbung GMIT in Alor Regency celebrates Advent for four consecutive weeks. Usually, during this time of waiting, many Christians everywhere are busy preparing for the coming of the Lord in the moment of Christmas celebration by outwardly preparing their needs. Therefore, through the pulpit sermon service, the author teaches in the form of ‘preaching’ by giving lectures and asking the congregation questions, with the aim of enabling the congregation to understand, reflect on and interpret the meaning of the word delivery. Questions are also asked so that the teaching through sermons is not one-way, so that the congregation also thinks, reflects and reflects. The aim is to invite the congregation to truly interpret and understand the advent season and through teaching in the form of sermons to provide a correct understanding of the appropriate way to welcome and await the coming of Jesus Christ through the word of God in the reading of the text Luke 3: 7-20 and the theme of straightening the path of life. As a result, the sermon delivered consisted of several reflective questions and two Christian values that became implications for the congregation, namely living in repentance and living in humility and becoming a blessing as an effort to straighten out one's path in life while awaiting the coming of the Lord.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the condition of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Padang Panjang Village and to explore opportunities for developing MSMEs based on the village’s local potential. Data were obtained through interviews with village officials and community members as primary sources. The findings show that MSMEs in Padang Panjang Village are still relatively simple and limited to traditional weaving crafts, carpentry, and the trade of agricultural products. Nevertheless, the village possesses significant local potential, such as weaving skills, cultural traditions, strong social bonds within the community, and the tourism potential of the Padang Panjang Dam. These potentials provide promising opportunities for the development of creative economy–based MSMEs and local products. However, MSME development still faces several challenges, including limited capital, lack of market access, low managerial skills, and suboptimal training and business assistance. To address these issues, strategies for strengthening MSMEs are needed, such as human resource capacity building, forming MSME groups, product innovation training, utilizing digital technology for marketing, and enhancing collaboration between the community and village government. Active community participation in preserving and developing local crafts, along with village government support through coaching, financial facilitation, and institutional strengthening, are crucial factors in improving MSME competitiveness. Overall, this study emphasizes that developing MSMEs based on local potential has strong potential to become a key driver of the economy in Padang Panjang Village, provided it is supported by appropriate strategies and the involvement of all stakeholders.

Abstract

Waisika Village, located in the North East Alor District, is an area with significant natural resource potential, particularly in the agricultural and plantation sectors, which serve as the primary source of livelihood for the community. This study aims to describe the diversity of available agricultural and plantation commodities, analyze their utilization levels by the community, and examine their contribution to village economic development. Data were obtained through interviews with village officials and a review of village documents. The results indicate that the most widely cultivated agricultural commodities include rice, corn, beans, vegetables, walnuts, candlenuts, and coconuts. Fertile land conditions, water availability, and traditional farming practices that have been passed down through generations are factors supporting community productivity. Furthermore, plantation commodities such as coconuts, candlenuts, and walnuts have high sales value, potentially becoming superior village products if supported by an adequate marketing system. The agricultural and plantation sectors contribute significantly to food security, family income, and local economic growth. However, this potential has not been optimally utilized. Various obstacles, such as limited transportation access due to damaged roads, a lack of post-harvest innovation and technology, and limited market access, are major challenges to the development of this sector. This research confirms that targeted, modern, and sustainable management of agricultural and plantation potential is crucial for strengthening the economy of Waisika Village and opening up opportunities for developing new businesses based on local natural products.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the plantation potential in Petleng Village, Alor Tengah Utara District, Alor Regency, to analyze the challenges and constraints faced by farmers, and to formulate solutions and development strategies for the plantation sector in the village. A qualitative approach using in-depth interview methods with farmers in Petleng Village was employed to collect data. The results indicate that Petleng Village has significant potential in the plantation sector, particularly in agriculture, with nearly 65% of its total area consisting of paddy fields. This condition positions the village as a potential center for high-quality rice production as well as an educational agro-tourism village. However, farmers face several challenges, including inequitable distribution of agricultural subsidies, drought, and difficulties in irrigation, which have led to decreased yields and even crop failure. The proposed solutions include improving irrigation systems and water resource management, adopting modern agricultural technologies, diversifying plantation products, developing partnerships, and encouraging community participation in the management and development of educational agro-tourism. This study provides comprehensive insights into the potential, challenges, and solutions for developing the plantation sector in Petleng Village; however, further feasibility studies are required to assess the socio-economic and environmental impacts of implementing these solutions.Keywords: agriculture, potential, development, Petleng village

Abstract

This research aims to identify the potential of the agricultural sector and its impact on the economic conditions of the community in Mauta Village, Central Pantar District, Alor Regency. Mauta Village possesses abundant natural resources, particularly in commodities such as corn, rice, cashew nuts, and coconuts. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach involving field observations and direct interviews with village officials and local residents. The results indicate that the agricultural sector is the primary livelihood supporting the village economy, where each household manages an average of 2 hectares of land with a total production reaching 49 tons per year. In addition to agriculture, livestock potential in pigs and goats, as well as handicrafts, serve as supplementary income sources. However, village economic development is still hindered by low education levels, limited access to capital, damaged road infrastructure, and the natural disaster threat of Mount Sirung eruptions. This study concludes that optimizing agricultural potential based on local wisdom, supported by infrastructure improvements and MSME assistance, is essential to enhance the welfare of the Mauta Village community sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the agricultural potential that serves as the main pillar of the economy of the community in Alaang Village, Alor Barat Laut District. The research employed a qualitative method with interview techniques, using the Head of Alaang Village as the primary data source. The findings indicate that the agricultural sector is the most prominent potential in the village, with main commodities including rice, corn, and various types of vegetables. Rice is the staple crop that plays a very important role for the community, as it serves both as the main food source and an additional source of income. Corn functions as an alternative food source as well as an economic commodity, while vegetables such as mustard greens, spinach, water spinach, bitter melon, cabbage, tomatoes, chili, cucumbers, and eggplants are cultivated for daily consumption and sold when there is a surplus harvest. Agricultural activities are carried out from generation to generation and have become an essential part of the community’s livelihood.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential of the plantation sector as a leading sector in Mataru Utara Village, with a focus on candlenut, which serves as the community’s primary commodity. Using a qualitative method through interviews, observations, and documentation, the study describes the conditions of candlenut production, processing, and marketing in the village. The results indicate that candlenut is the main source of income and has considerable economic potential. This commodity can be developed not only as a raw product but also into various value-added processed products. However, its potential has not been fully optimized due to limited production facilities, low post-harvest skills, a lack of knowledge about appropriate technology, and restricted market access. To support the development of this sector, training on candlenut processing, strengthening farmer groups or farmer institutions, improving production infrastructure, and expanding market access are necessary. With these efforts, the candlenut plantation sector has the potential to become a leading sector that can improve the income and welfare of the community in Mataru Utara Village.
