circumstances, as well as time, one of which is as a missionary who has
medical expertise. Just like David Livingstone, today's evangelists will also be
faced with various forms of field needs in mission, one of which is the needs
of the times. Where the progress of the times continues to develop until the
era of society 5.0. In the era of Society 5.0 which is characterized by progress
in various aspects that are so fast and dynamic, including advances in digital
technology. The era of Society 5.0 is also included in the category of the PostModern period, which is characterized by the development of information
and communication technology. The problem is that not all theological
schools and mission agencies pay attention to future needs in mission,
including digital needs in the era of Society 5.0. The method in this research
is a qualitative method with a biographical approach. David Livingtone's
biographical approach to mission with three things that are field needs is
