For those living in the remote jungles of the Amazon, where villages are connected by rivers rather than by roads and where reaching the outside world can require days of travel, life’s opportunities are very limited.
JungleMaster Ministries, based in Nauta, Peru, at the junction of the Marañón River and the Amazon River, seeks to share God’s love with the forgotten people of the Peruvian Amazon region by:
- Providing encouragement, training, and resources for indigenous pastors, giving them the means to better serve their congregations and to reach out to neighboring villages with the good news of the gospel.
- Assisting other Christian missionaries and organizations in their efforts to minister to the people of the area by providing them with safe and reliable transportation to and from remote villages along the debris-strewn rivers.
- Providing opportunities for youth to hear the good news about Jesus, both through our own programs such as archery, and through our partnerships with area churches.
- Assisting with occasional emergency medical needs.
- Offering technical training in welding, small engine repair and carpentry, which will enable students to start their own businesses, using the same Christian business practices that they have learned during their training.
In all we do, we seek to model lives of faith and integrity.
“Thanks to years of on-going support from the Wiebe Foundation, many people and villages in the remote regions of the Peruvian Amazon have had the opportunity to receive Christian training and encouragement, and to be discipled in the faith. We are humbled and blessed to be among the organizations they support.”

“In 2016, my wife and I were privileged to witness the amazing presence of JungleMaster ministries based in Nauta. Their relationship with the co-fraternity of local pastors is quite exceptional. JungleMaster provides support, guidance and assistance to these local communities of believers as they spread the good news about Jesus to incredibly remote jungle villages.”
