Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted almost all aspect of human life, not just in Indonesia, but the entire world. Expecially in Batam, the impact of the pandemic has greatly affected the people of Batam physically, mentally, and financially. It was during the lockdown that the effect was strongly felt. The Pandemic which took place in early 2020 until the end of 2021 (almost 2 years) had hit Batam severely to the point of the local government had to carry out the distribution of basic necessities to people who were in need. It was not just the basic needs, there were many other things that were carried out. The lecturers at the Tabgha Theological Seminary saw this as an opportunity to get involved and surely would not want to pass up this chance. By collaborating with the Indonesia Bethel Church of Tabgha Batam Center (GBI Tabgha Batam Centre), they gather the basic needs and distributed them to the local community who were in need. They collected data to determine who was entitled to receive the aid. They have requested the GBI Tabgha Batam Centre and the Local Community facilitator Leader (RT/RW) to provide with the church’s member and the local people data who were badly affected by the pandemic. It was very necessary to be able to help each other. The strong should help the weak, those who live in abundant should help to those who are in need. Such help were carried out by the the Tabgha Theological Seminary Lecturers.

Abstract

After Covid-19 Pandemic impacted almost every aspect of human life both globally and Indonesia, including Batam city. The economic impact of the pandemic has greatly affected Batam residents, as seen from the increasing unemployment rate in the city of Batam and the difficulty in finding work in the city. After the end of the Pandemic, the economy in the city of Batam did not recover immediately, but it needed a process, especially in the economic sector. During difficult times like this, the Cahaya Obor Berkat Foundation distributes food groceries to people in need. Not only basic food assistance, but also other types of assistance, such as the form of health counseling and educational assistance. Tabgha Theological Seminary Lecturers also worked closely with the Cahaya Obor Berkat Foundation to collect basic necessities for food groceries and distribute them to the people in Baloi Village who needed assistance. To obtain data on who is entitled to assistance, the lecturers requested data from the RT/RW in the Baloi Village Complex who needed assistance. As followers of Christ we should live peacefully with others who do not share our values ​​or accept teachings above them. It is based on 1 John 4:19-21 : “We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”
