<![CDATA[Since its formation, the GMIT Galed Kelapa Lima Congregation has still faced problems of social morality in Kelapa Lima Village, Kupang City. The problem of morality has not diminished, but has become more prevalent nowadays due to the existence of traditional massage service places and bars at the Sasando Hotel and Citra Hotel around Galed residents, thus providing onsite and online access for covert prostitution services. This article aims to explore past tensions that have an impact on the present, by exploring the role of GMIT Galed Kelapa Lima in historical and contemporary contexts. This article uses a qualitative method with a Church History approach. Data collection techniques used, namely field research and literature review.

Second, develop the Galed ministry which focuses on Transformative Diakonia. Third, service management approach through SWOT analysis. Fourth, the Galed Church is partnering with the Kupang City Government to develop a shared vision for preventing covert prostitution.]]>
