Abstract

Christians understand Christian Education as a conscious, systematic, and continuous effort based on the Bible as the main source centered on Christ and fully dependent on the power of the Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit is a guarantee of victory for the people. Victory or success is an inseparable part of the life of the Dayak tribe where the motto Isen Mulang is interpreted as moving forward undaunted, never give up before returning home to bring victory or success. The term "mamut-menteng, smart-harati, mameh-ureh, andal dia batimpal" means valiant-brave, intelligent-virtuous, sloppy-persistent, peerless great. The motto "Isen Mulang" contains Christian values, namely heroism, struggle, sacrifice, and never giving up. This study aims to raise the values of Christian Education from the Dayak Isen Mulang motto for the lives of God's people in living and facing life's challenges with the principle of moving forward undaunted. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach. Keywords christian education value; dayak tribe; isen mulang motto
