Abstract

This community service program examines the process of Bible translation into the Seaman language, hereafter referred to as Seaman, using a church-centric Bible translation approach that places the local church and community as active participants in the translation process. The Seaman community is a coastal group facing serious challenges, including the endangerment of their mother tongue, low literacy levels, and the marginalization of cultural and religious identities. This program was implemented through collaboration between a theological institution, a Bible translation foundation, a local church, and Seaman families who still possess competence in the indigenous language. The method employed a participatory and contextual approach, involving intergenerational speakers as well as ongoing spiritual and community accompaniment. The results indicate that Bible translation functions not only as a means of Christian faith proclamation but also as a medium for language preservation, strengthening community identity, and empowering the local church in contextual mission. Furthermore, the process created spaces for interfaith dialogue within families and the wider community. This program demonstrates that Church-centric Bible translation can serve as a holistic, transformative, and relevant model of community service for indigenous and minority language communities. Keywords: bible translation, church-centric bible translation, community empowerment, community service, seaman community Abstrak Program pengabdian masyarakat ini mengkaji proses penerjemahan Alkitab ke dalam bahasa Seaman, selanjutnya disebut "Seaman," dengan menggunakan pendekatan penerjemahan Alkitab yang berpusat pada gereja, yang menempatkan gereja lokal dan komunitas sebagai peserta aktif dalam proses penerjemahan. Komunitas Seaman adalah kelompok pesisir yang menghadapi tantangan serius, meliputi terancamnya bahasa ibu mereka, rendahnya tingkat literasi, serta terpinggirkannya identitas budaya dan keagamaan. Program ini dilaksanakan melalui kolaborasi antara lembaga teologi, yayasan penerjemahan Alkitab, gereja lokal, dan keluarga-keluarga Seaman yang masih memiliki kompetensi dalam bahasa asli tersebut. Metode yang digunakan menerapkan pendekatan partisipatif dan kontekstual, dengan melibatkan penutur antargenerasi serta pendampingan spiritual dan komunitas yang berkelanjutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerjemahan Alkitab tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana proklamasi iman Kristen, tetapi juga sebagai media pelestarian bahasa, penguatan identitas komunitas, dan pemberdayaan gereja lokal dalam misi kontekstual. Lebih lanjut, proses ini menciptakan ruang dialog antaragama dalam keluarga dan komunitas yang lebih luas. Program ini membuktikan bahwa penerjemahan Alkitab yang berpusat pada gereja dapat menjadi model pengabdian masyarakat yang holistik, transformatif, dan relevan bagi komunitas bahasa asli dan bahasa minoritas.

Abstract

The marginalization of People with Mental Health Disorders (Orang Dengan Gangguan Jiwa, ODGJ) in Indonesia unfolds within a paradoxical space, in which faith communities theologically called to be sites of restoration frequently reproduce stigma through spiritual and moral attributions of psychic suffering. The realities of pasung (shackling), structural poverty, and the limited provision of mental health services deepen such exclusion, while theological education in Indonesia has not yet fully addressed the disjunction between academic space and vulnerable bodies. This article offers a reflection on a community service program conducted by the Undergraduate Theology Program of STT Real Batam at Rumah Singgah Talitakum Cahaya Batam, with residents undergoing rehabilitation for mental health disorders as its target participants. The program was carried out through a participatory approach integrating pastoral accompaniment, spiritual education grounded in John 14:27, communal prayer, distribution of basic food supplies, and relational interaction. The impact analysis is constructed upon the integration of four theoretical frameworks, namely spiritual well-being, pastoral care, diakonia as reciprocal service, and missio Dei as participation in the work of God. The findings indicate that pastoral presence contributes to the existential well-being of participants, strengthens the social capital of the shelter, and forms ethical sensitivity and ministerial competence among theology students. Furthermore, the program demonstrates that ministry to ODGJ can be read as a locus theologicus that contests the charitable paradigm and shifts ministry toward diaconal resonance. The contribution of this article lies in proposing a model of contextual theological engagement that integrates psychosocial rehabilitation, student formation, and the church's mission for marginal communities.
