Artikel ini berangkat dari gagasan tentang fakta di berbagai belahan dunia, khususnya segmen penggembalaan dalam teologi Kristen. Sebagai sebuah nubuatan, tentunya nabi Yehezkiel memiliki banyak pesan penting bagi kehidupan para Gembala saat itu. Yehezkiel 34 sebagai salah satu bagian nubuat yang krusial bagi para pembaca saat ini, khususnya bidang teologi praktis patut untuk dikaji guna memperoleh tuntunan yang bermakna bagi para Gembala Jemaat dalam menggembalakan sekelompok orang yang menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam hidup. Berbagai tantangan tersebut semakin pelik ketika pandemi corona dideklarasikan pada awal tahun 2020. Dengan menggunakan metode studi pustaka, peneliti menggali berbagai karya sastra untuk menjawab kebutuhan di lapangan, khususnya teologi pastoral sebagai bagian dari teologi praktis. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa semangat penggembalaan tidak boleh diredupkan oleh tantangan hidup yang semakin kompleks. Isi nubuatan dalam Yehezkiel 34 ini membahas dua bidang yang berbeda, yaitu penghakiman pengharapan di dalam Kristus. Sebagai nubuatan, Yehezkiel 34 memberi domba-domba itu harapan penuh sukacita untuk menunggu campur tangan Tuhan selama praktik penggembalaan yang menyesatkan. Di sisi lain, sebagian Gembala justru memiliki kesempatan untuk menunjukkan kekuatan dan kepemimpinan Tuhan Gembala Agung yang telah mengizinkan mereka untuk melayani. Tuhan telah memberikan alat dan kebijaksanaan bijak kepada para Pendeta untuk memimpin jemaat pada kenyamanan dan kenyamanan hidup baik secara fisik maupun spiritual.
Conservation of nature, maintaining the balance of the ecosystem is an inseparable part of the divine mandate of God. Preserving nature and the balance of ecosystems means that we have done part of the faith. Community service by providing education on nature conservation is carried out to give residents a better understanding. The activity was carried out by selecting a group of residents in Pintubesi, especially Hindus. This implementation is based on the location of Pintubesi hamlet, Laurakit village in Deliserdang district, around (surrounded) nature with green forests. The life of the majority of residents is not farming, and a small number of broiler breeders. Therefore, to support nature conservation and maintain ecosystems, it is necessary to provide understanding to the residents there. The implementation of the activity uses the extension method by preparing materials and some practical materials during the extension. Meanwhile, residents were selected from a Hindu community to provide concentration and focus on counseling and monitoring after the counseling. From several counseling sessions, pleasant results were obtained regarding the understanding and awareness of participants in preserving nature and the role of humans in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Participants enthusiastically participated in each counseling session and arrived on time. Awareness and responsibility for conserving the surrounding nature are united by maintaining one's own farmland. Preserving and maintaining nature has been asked to become a lifestyle.
