Managing Complexity

There is a lack of contributions in sex trafficking the academic literature from Christian evangelical leaders despite their prominence in global counter-trafficking activism. Given that the academic literature influences professional and pedagogical discourse, the lack of evangelical Christian representation could diminish the complexity of trafficking discourses, limit balanced views of the flaws and strengths of evangelical counter-trafficking, and limit the opportunities for academia to understand and address problematic areas in evangelical counter-trafficking through an emic understanding of evangelical paradigms. Using a phenomenological lens to engage evangelical Christian pastors (n = 17) in the midwestern United States, this study examined the meaning faith leaders attach to counter-trafficking initiatives. Four themes emerged: (1) God cares about survivors of sex trafficking, giving Christians a moral obligation to intervene; (2) God, the Christian, and the survivor all have essential roles in tackling sex trafficking as part of helping humanity; (3) congregations’ faith-inspired but imperfect efforts to help an imperfect and complex world create many complexities; and (4) managing complexity involves applying the truths that underpin the Christian worldview, namely that God is good and people are valuable. These findings underscore the need to create an inclusive knowledge-producing forum that allows for a pragmatic exchange of ideas to expand the discourse between multiple counter trafficking actors.

This paper is entitled "Implications of the Relationship between Arastamar Bengkulu College of Theology for the Development of Missionary Services for the Evangelical Christian Church in Indonesia, the City of Bengkulu Congregation." The facts show that not necessarily a graduate of the Theological College can be accepted into a church. This condition is shown by the lack of support from the Church to an Theological College and Theological College does not give graduates to a church. Despite these facts, the author sees different facts between the Arastamar Bengkulu Theological Seminary (STTAB) and the Evangelical Christian Church in Indonesia (GEKISIA) Bengkulu City. The author obtained data that there are many developments specifically in mission services since the arrival of STTAB and collaborating with GEKISIA, Bengkulu City. This development is very important for the writer to research and describe in scientific work. From the observation, it shows that the development of mission services in GEKISIA, Bengkulu City occurs because of the large use of mission personnel from STTAB graduates. Pioneering Evangelical Service Posts (PI) increased to 6 PI Posts. This development needs to be studied theoretically so that through writing it can contribute to the development of missionary services in the Church and other Christian institutions, and revitalize the relationship between Theological College and the Church.

Abstract The GMIM Synod Youth Services Commission is part of the ministry of the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa in the Province of North Sulawesi. In its service under the auspices of the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa (GMIM) the Youth Services Commission specializes in providing services to teenagers aged 12-16 years according to the administration of the GMIM church. With the current technology, the GMIM Synod Youth Services Commission has developed a sistem to assist the implementation of each activity or program implemented in the form of an Integrated Activity Information Sistem (SIKAT). The development of this Information Sistem has not been widely known by adolescents and youth coaches so that in practice there are still congregations or coaches who have not used this sistem. Therefore, the development of this information sistem needs to be followed by training on how to use an integrated activity information sistem (SIKAT), so that in the implementation of the GMIM Synod Youth activities all can be recorded properly through the sistem that has been built. Activity Output: Integrated Information Sistem Application for GMIM Synod Teens.

Considerable Pressure

The evangelical Christian church and Christian international organizations today face considerable pressure to promote family planning in the course of their activities overseas. This pressure can be subtle, or overt; the need to provide family planning is often couched in terms of biblical compassion, justice, improvement in women’s health, poverty alleviation, or development. It is evident from even a superficial glance at the Internet that the concept of “family planning” is heavily laden with negative associations due to the bitter legacy of eugenics and population control. Does family planning include just contraception? Or is there a mentality or implicit agenda behind the use of contraceptive technology? What are the possible results of promoting family planning as part of the Church’s international activities? Is there a mandate, Scriptural or otherwise, for Christians and international Christian organizations, to promote pregnancy prevention? More important to the practicing Christian, what are the assumptions behind the “need” for family planning in the context of Christian global health? We discuss ethical and theological frameworks as well as scientific and epidemiologic data from an Evangelical Christian perspective that might help inform discourse and decision-making on this controversial subject .
