Abstract:
Although Qua Iboe Church is mainly understood from the angle
of Spiritual formation of individual human beings, the contributions it
has made and is still making to national development are
immensurable. For instance, the Qua Iboe missionaries came along
not only with th-e Good news but also came with western education
which is the foundation of civilization, and healthcare services. Now,
observation has shown that if the church had folded her arms and kept
aloof to issues of national interest, there would hardly any
development, because development can only take place where
individual persons are well informed morally and spiritually. This work
through secondary sources of information, observation, questionnaire
has discovered a lot of contributions that Qua Iboe church has made
and is still making to national development. However, Qua Iboe
Church has internal problems which, (besides these external ones),
have hampered its effective contribution to national development.
This work addresses this issue so that Qua Iboe Church will effectively
contribute to national development. With this, the contribution of
Qua-Iboe church to national development will be appreciated.
