Programs described in its return (5)
- $77,017 spent. Skills Training Center - A project currently under construction to create a training center for adults living in the upper Amazon River regions of Peru that will provide practical skills that can be used to begin small businesses. Subject areas will include small engine repair, welding, and carpentry. The training will include classroom theory, hands-on skills training, and how to operate a small business using Biblically based practices. Threaded throughout all the coursework will be intentional discipleship in how to live lives that are honoring to God.
- $31,247 spent. Mission Outreach Center in Nauta: JungleMaster Ministries operates a base in Nauta, Peru. It is used as a no-cost way station for pastors and other leaders as they travel along the Amazon River between their own home villages to/from the city of Iquitos, Peru to conduct business. This base is also used as a facility to host technical mechanical skills training for local Peruvian nationals. This base is also where JungleMaster Ministries' full time missionary lives.
- $24,478 spent. Partner Ministries - JungleMaster Ministries has numerous resources that other ministries may lack. We believe that, rather than duplicate resources, it is better to share resources with other ministries that may be better than JungleMaster Ministries at performing various tasks. Some examples of the resources we share include a reliable river boat with experienced boat operators who are also mechanics. This helps to assure that we can not only get other missionaries up into the remote regions of the Amazon, but we can also get them back home.
- $5,203 spent. Leadership Training - JungleMaster Ministries has partnered with the Global Leadership Network - Peru to host Global Leadership Summit (GLS) events in Iquitos, Peru. The GLS inspires leaders to grow their leadership abilities in order to further influence the world for God. Church pastors and other community leaders are invited to attend the leadership training.
- $2,203 spent. Amazon Small Village Assistance Programs: Provides financial assistance, such as scholarships and travel assistance, to Christian pastors and leaders from jungle river villages to minister to other river communities. Also provides financial and resource assistance to villages for church construction and other small projects. Also provides financial assistance for emergency medical care and assists in organizing youth oriented sports programs to promote character development and leadership skills.
