Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Indonesia is a developing country with a large population and still faces the complex problem of poverty. In Southeast Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province, the poverty rate ranks eighth highest, and this issue is influenced not only by economic factors but also by cultural patterns, lifestyle, and spirituality. This research aims to explore the causes of poverty within the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa (GMIM) Moria Towuntu using a qualitative exploratory approach. Data were collected through a snowball sampling technique involving ten families who received social assistance. The results reveal three main causes of poverty: early-age marriage, inherited poverty culture from parents, and laziness. Moreover, from the perspective of Christian faith, poverty is understood as a consequence of structural sin and the family's weak spirituality in practicing Christian values. The inheritance of spiritual values is seen as a key to social transformation, where changes in culture, lifestyle, and spiritual orientation can lead to freedom from poverty. The Church is expected to actively serve as an agent of transformation, guiding its members from poverty toward an abundant life in Christ.

Abstract

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.

The research carried out by the author used qualitative research methods in which there were observations, interviews, and also library study techniques used for data collection needs.

Abstract

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.
