Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is to make us aware as ideal disciples of Jesus amidst the onslaught of consumerism practices that permeate all aspects of human life. Becoming a disciple of Jesus is a calling that must be carried out totally and with full surrender. In today's era, to become a faithful disciple and be able to survive every challenge is very difficult. One of the trends that we are currently experiencing is the practice of consumerism that has seeped into the lower classes. Simultaneously, this culture of consumerism is contrary to the spirit of life as a disciple of Jesus that was passed down by Jesus directly to His disciples. Becoming a herald in this era is also very difficult because we are required to continue to live the lifestyle that was passed down directly by Jesus. In this article I want to present again the message of Jesus contained in the text Mark 6: 7-10, so that we become ideal heralds in the present and in the future.

Abstract

The history of Christian evangelization in Flores, particularly in Lembata and Solor, reveals that local languages play a crucial role as tools of communication and faith inculturation. Early missionaries recognized that using indigenous languages was essential for making the Gospel understandable and acceptable to communities with existing belief systems and religious traditions. Through local languages, the message of faith was not only conveyed informatively but also connected deeply with the cultural context and lived experiences of the people. This study aims to examine the role of local languages in early missionary work and their relevance in contemporary Church life. It employs a qualitative method with a literature review and historical analysis approach. The findings show that local languages function as cultural identity markers, means of social interaction, and media for religious experience. Language serves not merely as a communication tool but also as a bridge linking humans to their faith experiences and relationship with God. Therefore, preserving local languages in Church practices such as prayer, catechesis, and liturgy is essential to strengthen the faith identity of believers amid the challenges of modernization.
