Refleksi Pelayanan Yesus dalam Matius 14:13-21 Melalui Program-program di Pusat Pengembangan Anak

Abstract. This study aimed to describe the role of the Child Development Center (PPA) as a reflection of Jesus' ministry as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 14:13-21. This study was motivated by the decreasing participation of children in PPA programs, which ultimately has implications for the spiritual aspects of children. The method in this study is descriptive qualitative. The subjects were adolescent students at PPA IO 0933 "Tresno Putro" Surakarta. The results of the study showed that the lack of children's activity in participating in PPA programs was because the existing programs were considered no longer relevant to the needs of children. Programs that previously targeted the fulfillment of physical needs have been largely discontinued. Thus, it can be concluded that as in Jesus' ministry, the fulfillment of physical needs is important before being able to touch spiritual needs. Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan peran Pusat Pengembangan Anak (PPA) sebagai refleksi atas pelayanan Yesus yang tercatat dalam Injil Matius 14:13-21. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh makin rendahnya partisipasi anak-anak dalam program-program PPA, yang pada akhirnya berimplikasi pada aspek kerohanian anak-anak. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah diskriptif kualitatif. Subjek yang dituju adalah siswa-siswi remaja di PPA IO 0933 “Tresno Putro” Surakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekurangaktifan anak-anak dalam mengikuti program-program PPA adalah oleh karena program-program yang ada dianggap tidak lagi relevan dengan kebutuhan anak-anak. Program-program yang sebelumnya banyak menyasar pemenuhan kebutuhan jasmani telah banyak yang tidak lagi diselenggarakan. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagaimana dalam pelayanan Yesus, pemenuhan kebutuhan jasman menjadi hal yang penting sebelum dapat menyentuh kebutuhan rohani

Explanatory and Confirmatory Holistic Services Based on the Synoptic Gospels Among Children PPA Ages 14-19 Years Old Cluster Solo

A growing church is a church that prioritizes the ministry of children, because children are the next generation of the church. However, there are indications that there are still churches that do not view children's services as important and make them a priority for programs, funding, facilities and infrastructure. Service priority is more for adult services, compared to child services. This indicates that the church does not understand Holistic Ministry based on the Synoptic Gospels. Children's ministry is a very important service and requires adequate human resources support, both in terms of quantity and quality. In fact, there are indications that the Church still suffers from a lack of quality human resources, both in terms of calling and quality in carrying out child services, weak basic vocations, PPA human resources do not understand the development of the current situation so that the approach to fostering children is not appropriate. From the various problems that the researcher described above, the researcher believes that apart from these problems, the background factors of PPA children aged 14-19 years have a role in the implementation of Child Holistic Services based on the Synoptic Gospels. These backgrounds include: educational age background, economy, ethnicity, and length of time participating in PPA. For this reason, the researcher wrote a dissertation entitled: "Explanatory and Confirmatory Holistic Services based on the Synoptic Gospels among PPA Children aged 14-19 years in the Solo Cluster" to obtain empirical data from these problems and produce implications and suggestions for the development of PPA in the Solo Cluster.</jats:p
