This community service program aims to enhance the English communication skills of strawberry farmers in Pancasari Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, as an effort to strengthen tourism competitiveness through agrotourism. The activity was carried out through practical English training using a participatory and context-based approach that reflects the farmers’ real communication needs. The training consisted of two main stages: a classroom session employing the role-play method and a field practice session held directly at the strawberry farm with the involvement of local tourists and student assistants. The training materials covered daily expressions commonly used in interactions with visitors, including greetings, product explanation, offering activities, and basic transaction language. The primary learning media were a bilingual communication booklet and situational training modules, both developed from the results of a prior needs analysis. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement in the participants’ English communication abilities. Based on the pre-test and post-test results, the average improvement reached 43%, particularly in speaking confidence, vocabulary mastery, and fluency. Participants also demonstrated increased enthusiasm and professionalism when interacting with tourists in English. This program proves that practical and role-play–based training is effective in developing both linguistic competence and communicative confidence among local farmers. It also strengthens their role as tourism actors who contribute to the sustainable development of the Pancasari agrotourism area.

In life as a congregation and as servants of God, we cannot escape conflict within the church. Sometimes, conflict is inevitable within a church. This is because sometimes things start out fine, but when conflict arises, each individual makes their own decisions. Some choose to remain on the other side, while others choose to leave the fellowship. This article aims to explain the factors that cause divisions in the church, specifically the GKSI Makarios church, and what actions God's servants should take when faced with such a situation. Of course, this article uses two sources to resolve this issue, namely interviews and data such as books or other reading sources that discuss similar events related to the topic. It is hoped that this article will be a valuable lesson for ministers and congregations in dealing with every situation in the church. It is important to discuss this topic in order to educate readers that disputes are inevitable in church organizations. Therefore, when joining a community, it is important to consider the best solutions for dealing with disputes so that one does not act rashly when trying to resolve problems properly.

Teachers also reported increased student awareness and consistency in performing daily prayers after the mentoring sessions. Overall, this program had a positive impact on fostering the habit of worship in the school environment and demonstrated that hands-on practice combined with exemplary guidance is an effective approach to instill religious values and build independent character in young learners

Digital developments have encouraged batik MSME players to adjust their marketing strategies to remain relevant in today's digital era. However, most batik MSMEs in Kenep Village still rely on conventional methods so that they face obstacles in reaching consumers. This study aims to examine and compare the conditions of consumer behavior before, during, and after the implementation of marketing digitalization assistance.

This community service (PkM) was conducted to address problems related to the convergence law, sensitive periods, and developmental tempo among students (santri) at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Zainul Hasan 1 Genggong. The main issues included an imbalance in development (cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual) due to fragmented learning approaches, missed stimulation during the sensitive periods, and a uniform approach that disregarded individual developmental tempo.

The methodology employed a qualitative approach with strategies such as participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), involving the Area D Administrators and students of Pondok MTs Zainul Hasan 1 Genggong. The results of the mentoring for Area D students demonstrated that their development became more balanced and integrated (convergence law), stimulation was provided during the appropriate sensitive periods, and mentoring was adjusted to the individual developmental tempo. These changes resulted in holistic progress, stronger skill formation among the students, and an increase in their learning motivation.

Private Islamic Religious Colleges (PTKIS) play a strategic role in developing superior human resources with Islamic character. However, in practice, many PTKIS face challenges in meeting higher education quality standards and achieving optimal accreditation. Accreditation assistance based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and quality digitization are innovative solutions to improve the effectiveness of education quality management. OBE emphasizes the importance of learning outcomes integrated into the curriculum, learning process, and assessments that are measurable and relevant to the needs of the workplace. Meanwhile, quality digitization supports the efficient, transparent, and real-time management of academic data, forms, and accreditation reporting. Through the integration of these two approaches, PTKIS can improve accountability, accelerate the accreditation process, and ensure the achievement of sustainable quality standards. This article discusses the strategy of OBE-based accreditation assistance and quality digitization at the Tanggamus Islamic Education College, Lampung Province, highlighting the implementation process, obstacles encountered, and solution steps that can be applied to strengthen the PTKIS's internal quality assurance system.
