Abstract

Children's faith development at the El-Shaddai Abigail Piayu Orphanage aims to provide a solid foundation in the formation of children's character and personality through the theme "Sharing Love, Spreading Happiness". This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the experiences and perceptions of children and caregivers in the context of faith development. The results of this development indicate that faith development programs that include spiritual and social activities not only increase children's self-confidence and happiness, but also strengthen their social relationships with peers and the community. Active involvement in love-sharing activities contributes to the development of empathy, tolerance, and sacrifice, which are essential in the growth of their faith. By focusing on structured faith development, this study highlights the need for collaboration between orphanages, churches, and communities to create an environment that supports children's spiritual development, as well as improving the quality of support for them in the future.

Abstract

This article explores the reality of human trafficking in the Batam and Riau Islands region, one of Indonesia’s primary trafficking hotspots due to its strategic location as a gateway to neighboring countries. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research investigates the awareness and role of local churches in responding to this phenomenon. The findings reveal that many churches remain unaware of the theological connection between faith and social responsibility toward trafficking victims. However, some churches have begun transforming into liberating communities through ministries of restoration and advocacy. This study recommends a transformative diakonia approach and liberation theology as frameworks for the church to act as an agent of social justice in a world marked by oppression.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the optimization of synergy between the government and the church in budget planning for Christian religious activities in Batam City. Religious activities play a vital role in character building and maintaining harmony among citizens. While the church serves as a center for moral and social development and the government has a constitutional responsibility to support religious freedom, challenges in creating optimal synergy still exist. The lack of clarity in roles between the government and the church, as well as inadequate coordination mechanisms, hinder collaboration. This research utilizes a qualitative method with a case study approach to gather data through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that effective synergy can be achieved through participatory budget planning involving both parties from the outset, as well as the application of innovations in budgeting schemes and transparency principles. The recommendations produced from this research include establishing a Permanent Consultation Forum between the Government and the Church, creating special budget categories for social-religious activities, and developing technical guidelines for partnership. Through these measures, it is expected that the synergy between the government and the church will provide positive impacts for the multicultural community of Batam City, creating a more harmonious environment and optimizing the quality of life for its residents.
