The pastor, as the leader of the people, has an important role in the church. One of his important roles is to participate in breaking the chain of the spread of Covid-19, ending the pandemic period until it becomes a Covid-19 endemic. This is undertaken as a reflection of the value of love: to love God and human beings. The purpose of this study is to describe the reality of the pastor's participation in breaking the chain of the spread of Covid-19, as a call to love God and others as oneself. This action explains the motivation and mutual understanding in the form of love. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive-interpretation approach to the text of Matthew 22:37-40. The results of this study, namely the actions taken by the pastor toward the GKE Kapakat Tumbang Samba congregation, it appears that the pastor's motivation is to support the government's health program with the aim of protecting his congregation by supporting the provision of vaccines to his people as an action to stop the spread of Covid-19 and stay healthy. This motivational goal can be realized if there is a mutual agreement between the pastor and the congregation. Through this motivation and agreement, the pastor's participation has a vital role in breaking the chain of the spread of Covid-19 based on Matthew 22:37-40 as a real and active activity that begins with loving oneself in loving God and others to achieve the goal of using vaccines.

Circular of the Governor of Central Kalimantan Number 443.2/20/BU, namely promoting social distancing by staying away from mass gatherings. Through these provisions, the government seeks to achieve a common goal: to prevent and minimize the spread of the covid-19 virus. This investigation that has been carried out seeks to understand the reality felt by residents of Palangka Raya. Researchers used qualitative research methods with a descriptive narrative approach. Data sources come from observations, interviews, and studies of references related to community responses, Governor's circular, and social actions. The results of the study explain that it has been proven that the essential thing in rejecting and reducing the spread of the Covid-19 virus is that there is a link between the level of education, knowledge, realization, and realistic actions, as well as the love that exists for these citizens in understanding and implementing government regulations, as well as regarding the benefits of implementing social distancing. This explains the sociological and theological phenomena through some of these linkages in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, a form of instrumental action.
J. Andrew Kirk’s writing deals with three parts. Parts I lays the groundwork for how the church should carry out its mission. This is closely related to apologetics. Classically, tradition refers to the accumulated wisdom of the Christian community throughout the ages, which is inherited and passed on from one generation to another. Part II contemporary issues in mission contains the use of the words “evangelism” or “Evangelism” prominently in Church thought in the last one hundred and fifty years. The main emphasis in declaring the good news is conveying an extremely important piece of information that states it is true and relevant. Humans are immersed in culture. Part III this mission in action has the assumption that going and being in the world is a form of mission, the Church must see herself as a people on the move. It is a community that “looks to” and “purposes.” To separate mission from life in the community is to abstain from the resources that make mission possible in the way of Christ. Political reality is very complicated. Thoughts will change and mission tools will change to suit the new situation. There might be alternative combinations to unify the various aspects of the mission.
