Christ-Centered Leadership.
Rooted in Culture.
Transforming Every Village.

We train Christian servant-leaders who embody biblical truth, live out holistic mission, and faithfully serve every tribe in Mindoro.

THE CHALLENGE WE SEE

Across Mindoro, many tribes long for the hope of the Gospel but access to trained leaders who truly understand their culture is limited. Too often:

  • Church planting is done in ways that don’t resonate with the local way of life.
     

  • Ministry models overlook livelihood, sustainability, and real community needs.
     

  • Discipleship is shallow when learners can’t connect with the way God’s Word is taught.
     

The result? Communities that remain unreached or disconnected from Christ’s transforming power.

OUR ANSWER

Context-Rooted and Integrative Model for Transformational Leadership Training

At Saleng Leadership Institute (SLI)

We believe ministry should reflect both God’s truth and the culture of the people it serves. 

That’s why we created a curriculum rooted in context, integrating orality strategies, transformational theological education, and an integrated church planting model.

Why Does It Matter?

When leaders are shaped the Saleng way, transformation follows:
 

✅ Churches are planted and sustained by empowered local servant-leaders.
 

✅ Families discover new livelihood opportunities while growing deeper in faith.
 

✅ Communities are renewed holistically—spiritually, economically, and socially.
 

✅ The Gospel comes alive in every tribe’s unique language, culture, and God-given identity.

This is how the Great Commission is fulfilled through leaders who embody Christ’s love in every aspect of life.

YOUR PART IN THE STORY

Transformation doesn’t happen alone. Whether you are:

  • A church seeking to partner in intercultural mission,

  • An organization looking to support community development,

  • Or an individual with a heart for God’s mission in Mindoro—
