“…Misi tersebut memuat panggilan untuk bukan saja memberitakan Injil, melainkan juga panggilan untuk berdampak kepada umat secara holistik. Pelayanan yang holistik mencakup roh, jiwa, pikiran, dan fisik manusia, serta aspek-aspek lainnya seperti aspek sosial, politik, dan ekonomi (Manyaka-Boshielo, 2018). Oleh karena itu, keadaan ekonomi masyarakat tidak boleh luput dari perhatian gereja.…”

Data menunjukkan dampak besar pandemi kepada pekerja secara global, termasuk Indonesia. Hak pekerja secara langsung menjadi isu yang hangat seiring data perusahaan dan juga pengusaha yang kian merugi. Gereja yang memiliki tanggung jawab sosial semestinya memberi perhatian lebih terhadap hal ini. Namun, pada fakta di lapangan hal ini menjadi isu yang jarang sekali dibahas. Banyak bantuan sosial yang diberikan kepada masyarakat hanya sebatas seremonial dalam rangka merayakan perayaan-perayaan gerejawi tertentu. Lebih lagi, gereja jarang menyuarakan hak-hak masyarakat yang tertindas secara ekonomi dengan tegas. Oleh sebab itu, tulisan ini hendak memberikan kontribusi pemikiran teologis serta advokasi terhadap isu hak pekerja di masa pandemi. Pemikiran teologis ini dibangun berdasarkan analisis narasi Ulangan 24:14-15. Analisis ini diharapkan bermanfaat untuk mengingatkan kembali bahwa kepedulian terhadap hak pekerja telah hadir sejak zaman dahulu. Karenanya, analisis ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran serta ajakan terhadap seluruh pihak terutama gereja untuk memberikan perhatian atas isu ini. Pada akhirnya, refleksi dari tulisan ini akan memberikan advokasi terkait hak-hak pekerja di masa pandemi yang dapat dikembangkan oleh pembaca. Sehingga harapan peneliti akan kepedulian terhadap hak pekerja di masa pandemi dapat tumbuh dan mekar.

With burgeoning economic challenges that have been hard-pressing Zimbabwe for more than a decade, most Zimbabwean classical Pentecostal churches who do not strategically multiply their revenue in reciprocal correspondence with God-given resources have been disabled and forced to narrow their missionary focus towards proclamation of the gospel and neglected other dimensions of mission, such as diakonia. The partial focus on the gospel in word without corresponding deeds portrayed an exclusively Salvationist and less integral image, and defaced ecclesiastic identification when Zimbabwe is anxiously in dire need of a wholesome Church that values and attends to all areas of their lives. While extensive attention has been paid to the conceptualisation of ecclesial identity in general, and manipulative economics of some charismatic churches in Zimbabwe and Africa, research about the identity and economic sustainability of the Zimbabwean classical Pentecostal Church is sparse. Thus, this study filled the gap, taking Assemblies of God, Back to God (hereinafter referred to as AOG BTG) as a case study. Applying theonomic reciprocity theory, complemented by the concept of sustainability and engaging purposively sampled in-depth interviews, this article interfaced missionary identity with economic sustainability and recommended the adoption of contextually feasible strategies to capacitate the Church to meet the rising operating and missionary costs in the volatile Zimbabwean context.Contribution: This study reviewed the ecclesial identity, interconnected Zimbabwean classical Pentecostal ecclesiology with current economics and observed circumstantially applicable strategies to restore a blurred identity.

The most important issues for the missional church should be to establish the relation between mission and the church. The methodology used is to listen to voices concerning relevant issues in the missional church. Many important aspects of the missional church are discussed to give an overview of contemporary challenges. Metaphors for the church, such as people of God, body of Christ, temple of God, bride of Christ and witness of God give many essential guidelines for how the church should engage the world. By evaluating these metaphors, new suggestions can be made. It is concluded that the church should always be the church of the living Christ, living new lives in this world with the eye on the world to come.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The relation of the Church and mission is of great importance. In the discipline of Missiology current ideas about the missional church call for new interpretations. Only by thoroughly interacting with the metaphors of the church can the missional church be understood in a new way.
