These three things will improve intellectual abilities, skills and shape the character of students.

Abstract

The call to become a pastor's wife is a noble call for those who are ready to serve God. God created the wife as a worthy helper for the husband, and helped the husband in the ministry. Thus a shepherd's wife must truly believe in God and love God. The faithfulness and perseverance of a pastor's wife in a life based on the Christian faith will be a blessing and a good asset for her husband's pastoral ministry. However, the problem faced in pastoral care, especially in the Mranggen area, is the existence of obstacles for the wives of pastors related to their duties and responsibilities outside the pastoral service itself. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the wives of the pastors of the Indonesian Baptist Church BPD JATEGBAGUT Rayon Mranggen to help their husbands in pastoral care. Through a qualitative approach using interviews with 6 wives of the pastor of the Indonesian Baptist Church BPD JATEGBAGUT Rayon Mranggen as participants, this study concludes that pastoral care is a service carried out by the pastor to help, guide, teach or direct the congregation being served. The pastor's wife must understand the pastoral ministry that her husband does as a pastor, which is to know every condition of the congregation being served and to help the congregation to grow in faith in God. The pastor's wife must be able to carry out her role in the congregation, in the family, and in society well and be responsible for helping her husband's pastoral ministry.

Abstract

: In the rapidly growing digital era, social media plays an important role in communication and information delivery, including in evangelism according to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Digital technology enables churches to reach individuals who do not yet know Christ through various online platforms such as websites, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. This research aims to explore the utilization of social media in evangelism, as well as how digital technology enriches creativity and innovation in the delivery of the gospel message. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, by collecting data through interviews and observations of churches that use social media in evangelistic ministry. The results show that social media is a very effective tool in delivering the message of salvation and shaping a more just and harmonious society. However, there are challenges such as cultural differences and limited resources in utilizing technology to its full potential. In conclusion, digital evangelism through social media not only expands the reach of the church, but also has a positive impact on the spiritual and social lives of the global community.

Abstract

Family is the smallest social unit that has an important role in shaping children's character. Parents, as the main figures in the family, have a great responsibility in educating and guiding children, especially in terms of Christian religious education. This study aims to describe the responsibility of parents in providing Christian Religious Education guidance according to Proverbs 22:6 on the behavior of children aged 3-5 years. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing the text of Proverbs 22:6 and various related scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that the right parenting pattern from parents has a major influence on children's spiritual growth. Parents play an important role in instilling spiritual values from an early age, providing good examples, and creating a conducive environment for children's development. Proper education from a young age will shape children's characters that do not deviate from God's path until adulthood. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the meaning of Proverbs 22:6 and its relevance in early childhood education, with a focus on the role of parents as the main guides in shaping children's character according to Christian teachings. This study also highlights the importance of the role of parents as authoritative figures who have a divine mandate in educating children, which distinguishes it from other studies that may only focus on the psychological or social aspects of child rearing.
