Abstract

The earthquake that struck Palu on 28 September 2018 was one of the biggest natural disasters in Indonesia, causing devastating impacts, both in terms of casualties and material losses. But behind the tragedy, many saw God's providence, which is God's intervention that is not seen directly but is full of meaning and wisdom. This research aims to examine and reflect on how God's providence was seen in the Palu earthquake, both in terms of finding the meaning behind the event. The method used is a qualitative approach with phenomenological analysis of the experiences and reflections of affected communities. The results showed that although disasters brought suffering, many people felt the presence of God who provided protection, strength and recovery through the events that occurred after the earthquake. The research also highlighted the importance of awareness of God's greatness and sovereignty in the face of natural disasters and how it strengthens the relationship between humans and God, as well as between each other.

Abstract

This article examines the contextualisation of the Gospel within the Aluk Todolo tradition by conducting a historical and theological analysis of the Dutch Zending mission in Tana Toraja. The proclamation of the Gospel in the early 20th century did not occur in isolation, but rather encountered a system of beliefs and local culture that was already deeply ingrained in the lives of the Toraja people. Through a descriptive qualitative approach and a literature review, this study examines the characteristics of Aluk Todolo, the process of the Gospel’s introduction, and the missionary strategies adopted by the Gereformeerde Zendingsbond (GZB), particularly through the figure of Antonie Aris van de Loosdrecht. The research findings indicate that the proclamation of the Gospel was carried out in a contextual manner through the use of the local language, the translation of theological concepts such as ‘Puang Matua’, and educational and social methods that respected local cultural values. The interaction between the Gospel and Aluk Todolo created a dynamic that was not merely adversarial, but also dialogical and transformative. This adaptation allowed the Gospel to be accepted without entirely erasing the Toraja cultural identity. This study emphasises that a mission approach that is contextually appropriate and sensitive to local culture is vital in conveying the Gospel in a relevant and meaningful way within the community.
