Help Us Build a Sleeping Pavilion for Pastors in the Amazon
Every year, hundreds of pastors travel to attend our Jungle Pastors’ Conferences at the John Paculabo Center. These men and women pour out their lives in ministry, often serving in remote villages with few resources. When they come, they come weary. This is their time to be renewed, encouraged, and equipped.
Right now, after long days of teaching, worship, and fellowship, these pastors sleep aboard our hammock boat, The Splendor, docked at the riverbank. Each day, they must climb over 100 steep steps to reach the conference center—a difficult and exhausting journey, especially for elderly pastors.
We can change that.
We are building a simple, open-air sleeping pavilion adjacent to our cafeteria, giving pastors a comfortable place to rest so they can fully receive the refreshment they need. This new facility will accommodate 100 pastors in hammocks and will also include:
- Six new bathrooms and showers
- Upgraded sewer and electrical systems to support future growth
- A peaceful, accessible resting space—just steps away from the conference
The Goal: $150,000
Thanks to generous donors, we have already raised $60,000—but we still need $90,000 to fully fund this project.
With construction planned to begin in August 2025, our goal is to have the pavilion ready in time for the first Jungle Pastors’ Conference of 2026.
This project is about caring for those who have given their lives to serve others. By providing them with a place to rest, we are ensuring their time at the conference is focused on renewal.
