OUR STORY
Needs in South Asia
Educational resources and good teaching are high in demand, not only in South Asia, but globally. There is a short supply of teachers, and many of our best educational Lutheran books remain unavailable online or in South Asia, due to copyright restrictions. We hope to help, by targeting the most urgent needs and requests for teaching and publications, to the extent God gives us the strength, opportunity, and ability.
The Ongoing Mission
Since the foundation of SALM in January 2022, the SALM team, led by our Director, Pastor Edward Naumann, has been working continuously and tirelessly to provide publications and in-person teaching, where it is needed most. With prayerful assistance from supporters of SALM, the board of directors continues to approve new projects and guide to completion the current projects approved for the benefit of our partners globally and in North America.
Working with Partners
None of the work of SALM is done in isolation, but we cooperate and interact with partners in South Asia, as well as globally. SALM is listening directly to the voices of our overseas partners, and striving to help in ways that are most beneficial, not imposing or insisting on anything, but responding to needs and requests, and teaching where it is welcomed and needed, where God opens the door and provides the opportunity for us to serve.

Providing Open-Access Resources
The resources produced in English and other languages of South Asia are being published in print and e-book format; and we provide print-ready files and texts online, so that resources are accessible globally, made as affordable as humanly possible.
Where possible, SALM also helps overseas partners to cover the costs of printing books for distribution, which are then printed locally.
