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 100ft x 50ft facility will accommodate 150 pastors in hammocks and will also include:
- 12 new bathrooms and showers
- Upgraded sewer and electrical systems to support future growth
- Large fans to ventilate the space
- Sustainable and durable materials suitable for the Amazon climate
-
A peaceful, accessible resting space—steps away from the conference
We estimate the project to cost $187,000. Thanks to generous donors, we have already raised two-thirds of the funds needed.
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.
By investing in this project, donors will directly impact the lives of pastors and missionaries who are spreading the Gospel and serving communities deep in the jungle. This new facility will eliminate a major accessibility challenge, improve the overall conference experience, and strengthen the reach and effectiveness of JMI’s ministry in the region.
We invite you to join us in building a place of rest and renewal for those dedicated to sharing God’s love in the Amazon.
