Back in the Philippines, Gabriel served in a local church who is being Pastored by his parents. He is one of the youth leaders and is directed involved with Bible studies while also being part of the worship team.

He is a career focused young man pursuing his personal dreams until the time the Lord encountered him in a mission conference. The Lord said, “You’ve spent enough time putting yourself first. It’s time to start putting Me first in your life.” 

He said “Yes” to the call of God which required him to surrender his life and personal aspirations. As Jesus said in Luke 9:23: 

“Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.” 

Now, he is currently enrolled in the Apprenticeship Missionary Program of Asian Institute For Missions under the ministry of AMO Global.

VISION:

To see unguided, broken, and lost young people be transformed by the love of Christ, growing in their faith, and being empowered to impact the next generation. 

MISSIONS:

To reach young people through sports, create a Christ-centered community where they can belong to, and guide them towards spiritual growth, healing, and lifelong discipleship. 

He wants to faithfully take hold of the vision the Lord has put into his life like how Apostle Paul declared in Acts 20:24: 

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me, the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”

From leading in the boardroom to serving on the frontlines. 

Jelen L. Villareal is a passionate leader, visionary creative, and compassionate servant whose life’s work bridges the worlds of media, leadership, and community transformation.

Jelen began her career with the internationally recognized Mayad Studios in 2008. In 2014, she was entrusted to lead one of the group’s pioneering ventures—Mayad Post Production House Inc. (MPost)—as its General Manager. Under her leadership, MPost became the post-production powerhouse of the Mayad Group, partnering with global clients to provide high-quality multimedia solutions.

In 2019, Jelen stepped into the role of CEO of Mayad Post Production House Inc. overseeing its transformation from an internal post-production unit into a full-fledged outsourcing company with a global reach.

Jelen’s heart for the next generation continues to shape her work. Even during her executive years, she actively mentored and disciple young leaders, balanced her responsibilities with advocacy, and championed causes close to her heart.

Throughout her leadership, Jelen was recognized for her excellence and impact. She was named one of Southeast Asia’s 25 Leading Lights in 2020, and was honored with the Women of the Future UK Award.

Her heart has always remained rooted in community service and servant leadership. She serves at Ikthus Church Iloilo in the Philippines, where she ministers to children, youth, and young professionals. Alongside her corporate career, she also dedicated over a decade as a member of the church’s Board of Trustees.

In 2023, she courageously stepped down from her role as CEO to wholeheartedly follow God’s call into mission work and community transformation. After completing her AIM training on April 29, 2025, she now serves as a full-time missionary for the nations under the Asian Mission Outreach Base in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Throughout the years, God has placed in her heart a deep burden to reach out to different sectors of society—marketplace leaders, families, youth, and marginalized communities—bringing the hope of Christ and the message of His Kingdom to every sphere of influence.
