A Nazarene Missions Team from Global Missions and the Asia-Pacific Region IT office visited the Indonesia Nazarene Theological College (INTC), as part of an IT project, from 14-28 May 2025, to enhance the internet system and install a smart classroom.

This collaborative project involving Indonesia Nazarene Theological College, the Sealands Field, Asia-Pacific Region IT, and the Nazarene Missions Team was initiated to address the needs of the campus in today’s era of global education. Institutions must be creative, innovative, and collaborative to deliver increasingly high-quality theological education to both the Nazarene community and external stakeholders. This effort also ensures greater effectiveness in reaching souls, aiming to prepare students from diverse backgrounds—reflecting the broader vision that drives the importance of this project.

The internet connection at INTC has significantly improved, leading students to appreciate the effectiveness and efficiency of their work with a strong internet connection. Lecturers and administrative staff value the advantages of a reliable internet connection. 

During the project, the campus seized this opportunity to strengthen its engagement with the Church of the Nazarene’s vision. Several youth involved in media services, along with tech-savvy students, participated in both the installation and design of SmartClass. The time with the youth became an opportunity to mentor and share plans, aimed at broadening their perspective on the project’s future direction.

Through informal sessions such as meals, tours, visits to local churches, and daily conversations, the team was invited to gain a deeper understanding of the Indonesian culture. The project concluded with a cultural night, when students showcased their regional culture through dance, songs, and traditional costumes. This cultural night also featured the inauguration of the Smart Class, organized by three study programs: Theology, Christian Religious Education, and Master of Theology.

“To be honest, the campus doesn’t have a lot of resources to do this project," said Seri Damarwanti, INTC President. "But personally, as a leader on campus, I don’t want to be stuck on the same old problems, and with the strength that God has given me, I invite my colleagues on campus to take steps of faith. With careful planning and calculation, we finally agreed to move forward and complete what God has placed in our hearts. Hopefully, with improved IT capabilities, the vision of INTC and the Global Church of the Nazarene can be effectively realized. The Lord Jesus is increasingly glorified on our beloved campus."
