The Active Role of Churches in Evangelism-related Missionaries in Indonesia

Abstract

Evangelism in Indonesia is inseparable from the active role of missionaries, especially those sent by the church to various regions. However, the results achieved after a prolonged period were insignificant. Therefore, another approach is needed to streamline the role of the church in carrying out evangelism to various regions of the country. For this reason, the church needs to try a comprehensive approach involving the social, educational, and medical areas of peoples' lives. The principle is a total ministry of the gospel to reach all human aspects of the body, soul, and spirit. This comprehensive approach directs evangelistic activities in the regions to be more contextual according to the needs of the people served, hence it is expected to be more effective. Research Contribution: The research contributes to the mission strategy for Indonesian churches to send their missionaries to various regions by contributing new ideas for the effective outreach of souls through a comprehensive approach.
