Intercultural competence is an essential skill for students in today’s globalized educational landscape, particularly in English language learning contexts. This study investigates students’ intercultural competence, focusing on their ability to adapt and communicate effectively across diverse cultural boundaries. Employing a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 53 university students engaged in English language programs. Findings reveal varying levels of competence: while 35.8% of participants reported ease in adapting to cultural differences, nearly half (49.1%) expressed neutrality, indicating limited confidence or experience. Challenges such as language barriers (62.3%) and unfamiliarity with social customs (20.8%) were identified as significant obstacles. Despite these challenges, students participating in cultural exchange programs or engaging with diverse peers demonstrated enhanced competence, gaining enriched perspectives, improved communication skills, and stronger social bonds. Positive experiences included language acquisition, cultural understanding, and mutual respect. To address gaps, the study recommends integrating intercultural communication training, cultural awareness workshops, and experiential learning programs into curricula. Additionally, fostering supportive environments through mentorship and safe spaces for dialogue is essential. These interventions aim to empower students, equipping them for effective communication and collaboration in multicultural academic and professional settings.

Logos is a term known to many Christians. The word logos is expressed by humans, translated from Greek meaning: word, saying, message or word. The word Word also refers to what dwells in the human mind such as; mind, reason or logic. The problem is that many people discuss and write about logos theologically but no one has written about logos who have become human beings and are present in the midst of Jewish society to educate and teach. This research aims to explore the meaning of logos that have become human in Jesus Christ based on the Gospel of John 1:1-18 and raise its implications for Christian Religious Education. The research method used to answer this problem is a qualitative research method with literature study work that supports a historical criticism approach to the text. From this discussion, the author offers the result as a new perspective that the church needs to implement the meaning of the logos, through Christian education for the congregation.

This study examines work as a dimension of worship and an integral part of Christ's mission in the lives of Christian youth. The phenomenon that has emerged in the field shows a reduction in understanding among youth who often see work only as an economic means, separate from faith and worship. In fact, biblically and theologically, work has an ontological value since creation, is liturgical in response to gratitude, and acquires full meaning in the light of Christ as participation in the work of redemption. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies to explore the experiences and theological reflections of youth related to work. The results of the study show that there is a gap between theological understanding and everyday practice, while affirming the importance of the church in shaping the missionary work ethic through faith education, mentoring, and contextual empowerment. This study concludes that youth are not only called to work to meet economic needs, but also to interpret work as worship and a form of participation in God's mission. Thus, the church and youth together are required to build a new paradigm that affirms work as an arena of witness to faith, service of love, and social transformation.

Bekerja adalah perintah Allah sejak manusia pertama, diciptakan. Menurut Alkitab Allah yang menciptakan manusia segambar dengan diriNya adalah Allah yang bekerja. Bekerja memang hal yang mulia, akan tetapi masih banyak di kalangan orang yang percaya salah dalam menetapkan hari untuk bekerja, karena pekerjaan lebih penting bagi kehidupan dari pada ibadah. Oleh karena itu orang Kristen masih ada yang salah menggunakan dimana hari untuk bekerja dan dimana hari untuk istirahat dalam arti istirahat mencari Tuhan dan memuliakan Tuhan dengan cara pergi beribadah. Dalam skripsi ini akan diuraikan tentang kajian Misiologi terhadap peran gereja dalam memberikan pemahaman tentang pekerjaa bagi jemaat di GMIM Maranatha Likupang 1 wilayah Likupang.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keselarasan antara misi gereja masa kini dan falsafah Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou sebagai warisan budaya Minahasa yang mengandung nilai-nilai kemanusiaan.

Falsafah Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou, yang berarti "manusia hidup untuk memanusiakan manusia", memberikan landasan kontekstual dan teologis bagi gereja dalam membangun pelayanan yang inklusif, relasional, dan transformatif. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi nilai budaya lokal dan pemahaman teologi misi dapat memperkuat identitas gereja sebagai komunitas yang hidup bersama masyarakat, termasuk melalui ruang digital, untuk menyatakan kasih Allah dalam tindakan nyata.

Love plays a role in realizing brotherhood in the life of boarding students in the Faculty of Theology, Tomohon Christian University of Indonesia, especially in the Women's Dormitory. Service involves Social Interaction so that it is hoped that through that interaction love can be emitted and become the identity of students of the Faculty of Theology UKIT. In reality. Many students forget God's love for each person so that they also do not succeed in practicing that love in their daily lives. The reality in boarding life is that many people no longer respect each other, there are often hypocritical attitudes that ultimately make misunderstandings between boarding communities and worse, it can end up being provocative. So that teaching about Fraternal Love in Social Interaction is very important to build the character of students to become better servants and have integrity in the future.

This paper focuses on the praxis of simplicity among Minahasan affiliates of the Christian Evangelical Church in Minahasa (GMIM) as a spirituality that opposes consumeristic religion. A qualitative case study design was employed to gather data in the form of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of documents using purposely chosen congregants who always engage in simple living in family, ministry, and everyday life. Data were interpreted using thematic analysis, which was informed by the theological-hermeneutical framework. The results indicate that simplicity is not considered an absence but a planned, religious lifestyle of sufficiency, gratitude, humility, and reliance on God’s providence. In practical terms, the concept of simplicity is reflected in judicious handling of finances, low-profile consumption, non-competitive involvement in worship, and judicious use of social media. Congregants define this way of life as a protest against consumerist ideas such as extravagance, flaunting, and spiritual arrogance, which are becoming more pronounced in church activities and general society. This opposition is anchored in the merging of Minahasan cultural norms, particularly mapalus (mutual help) and the GMIM ethos of love, service, and modesty. This study concludes that the praxis of simplicity among GMIM congregants is a situational spirituality of resistance that protects and revitalizes the church’s theological identity. It provides pastoral implications for faith formation, leadership, and ecclesial practices that are useful in enabling congregants to resist religious consumerism while being involved in modern social life in the plural context of Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the perceptions, attitudes, and responses of the congregation of GMIM Golgota Bukit Ranomuut Permai toward mental health issues, as well as to identify the theological, social, and cultural factors shaping those responses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling techniques, the research involved 26 participants drawn from church ministers (Pelsus), youths, and general congregants, selected through an open online questionnaire. The data were analyzed thematically and validated through source triangulation. The findings indicate that 96.2% of respondents had previously heard about mental health issues, reflecting a high level of awareness. However, 65.4% reported having experienced stress, anxiety, or depression in recent months, even though access to professional services remains hindered by limited knowledge (12 mentions) and fear of social stigma (8 mentions). Although 65.4% of respondents were aware of the existence of mental health services, one-third still lacked understanding of how to access them. Suggested interventions from the congregation include routine educational programs in the church, the provision of free consultations, the establishment of support groups, the cultivation of a listening culture, and structured spiritual accompaniment. The study reveals a gap between awareness and action, influenced by religious stigma and limited information. It recommends integrating mental health literacy into pastoral ministry, establishing a pastoral referral system, and fostering collaboration between the church and professional practitioners. The church is positioned as an agent of social transformation capable of providing a safe space for holistic healing—physical, psychological, and spiritual—within the framework of a theology of shalom. This research offers practical contributions to the development of contextual pastoral care and enriches academic discourse on the intersection of religion, culture, and mental health in Indonesia.
