Abstract

Before Covid-19 came and affected pastoral life, the world was busy with the millennials, which would turn off many activities that did not adapt to the world of 4G technology; even the world was heading for 5G. The church must think about its mission. The church must rethink its mission and begin to reshape its mission into postmodern adaptations. But unexpectedly, Covid has killed nearly everyone including existing services. In this study, the author collects data and facts from the field and missions data globally and in Indonesia and how the Indonesian churches respond to them. The church’s mission and the draft of the Great Commission will never fail. A total change in the world of missions must be considered in outreach in Indonesia filled with Millennials and Generation Z. This research contributes to churches rethinking the concept of mission and thinking about outreach to millennials and Generation Z controlled by 4G technology. Still, the church also does not forget to reach out to neglected tribes spread across Indonesia.
