Missionary is a characteristic of God that must be present in His people, as a form of imitation of God who saved all ethnic groups through the work of Jesus Christ. However, many ethnic groups, including the DONS tribe in North Sumatra, have not been reached by the gospel of salvation even though they are geographically easy to reach. Currently, pioneers who reach the DONS tribe face various obstacles, both from within the DONS community and from the pioneers themselves. By recognizing these obstacles, it is hoped that they can find creative solutions and utilize digital technology as an effective means of spreading the gospel. Exploring the elements of DONS culture is also important to create an approach that is easy for them to understand. Although pioneers have tried to utilize the culture, improvements are still needed in creative ways to produce new strategies that are more effective in outreach. All of these efforts are made on the basis of God's love, so that DONS people can know Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and receive the salvation that God has given through Christ.

Christian religious education plays a crucial role in shaping the character and morals of the younger generation, where Christian Religious Education Teachers (PAK) bear a significant responsibility in instilling Christian values. This study aims to investigate the role of professional ethics in the implementation of the PAK teacher's code of ethics and how it can enhance the quality of Christian religious education, particularly in building positive teacher-student relationships. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative analysis with a hermeneutical approach, examining the text of the code of ethics and professional ethics based on Christian values. The findings of the study indicate that professional ethics is not merely an additional moral guideline, but a deeper foundation for understanding and applying the code of ethics in various situations. Professional ethics assists PAK teachers in maintaining integrity, professional honesty, and creating a conducive learning environment. Furthermore, this study discovered that the integration of professional ethics and the code of ethics can enhance the accountability of PAK teachers and overall improve the quality of education. The conclusion of this study affirms that the application of professional ethics grounded in Christian values is paramount for PAK teachers in fulfilling their duties, enabling them to shape a younger generation with noble character and a Pancasila spirit. This study contributes to the development of Christian religious education in Indonesia by emphasizing the importance of ethics in the teaching profession, creating a positive learning environment that supports students' spiritual growth.

The application of the theory of truth in philosophy can make an important contribution to the strategy for eradicating hoaxes in the digital era. Hoaxes, as misinformation and often deliberately spread for certain purposes, have a broad negative impact, especially in the formation of public opinion and social stability. In this context, theories of truth such as correspondence, coherence, and pragmatism can be used to evaluate and identify the truth of information spread in cyberspace. Correspondence theory, for example, can be used to confirm whether information corresponds to objective facts. Coherence theory, on the other hand, prioritizes the consistency of information with a wider system of knowledge, while pragmatism theory assesses truth based on the practical impact of receiving information. The application of these theories in a hoax eradication strategy involves media education, increasing digital literacy, and developing information verification algorithms that prioritize the principles of philosophical truth. With this approach, it is hoped that the public will be smarter in filtering information, so that the spread of hoaxes can be minimized and public trust in digital media can be restored.
