The Community Service (PKM) activity with the theme "The Impact of Personal Evangelism Through Counseling Guidance for Commercial Sex Workers in Pamanukan" aims to reach marginalized communities through contextual spiritual services. The program was implemented over three days with a personal approach, evangelism, and counseling guidance. The results of the activity showed initial changes in the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of the participants. Some commercial sex workers began to realize God's love, express their inner wounds, and consider alternatives to life outside of prostitution. However, economic factors and social stigma remain major obstacles. This program emphasizes the need for collaboration between churches, universities, and social institutions to provide holistic and sustainable services. This model can be replicated in various other contexts as a tangible manifestation of Christ's mission in society.
