Our Mission
Pastors R&R is a ministry of The Pastors Staff, a 501(c)(3) private foundation. The main objective of Pastors R&R is to provide the use of vacation properties, free of charge (a minimal cleaning fee may apply), to full-time pastors / ministry leaders and their immediate family members, who cannot otherwise afford to get away. Pastors and ministry leaders often work long hours…day and night, week-after-week and year-after-year…with little time for rest or recreation with their spouses and/or children. Many of these ministers simply do not have the financial means to take their families on a much-needed vacation, away from their place of work, for a time of true relaxation and reconnection. That’s where we come in…
How Our Program Works
Through the Pastors R&R (PRR) program, a pastor or ministry leader and his immediate family (upon approval of their application) may enjoy a rejuvenating getaway at one of several beautiful vacation properties for up to two consecutive weeks every 12 months.
Pastors R&R accepts donations of time at vacation properties (that are in excellent condition) from individuals, churches, corporations, foundations, and organizations. Pastors R&R vacation properties generally include condominiums, vacation homes, motels/hotels, cottages and cabins. Regardless of the type of vacation property donated, the donor can determine the availability, ranging anywhere from two weeks per year to year-round. Rules and guidelines set by Pastors R&R and the donors help to ensure a rewarding experience for all. Since the need for vacation properties is so great, but the number is so limited, we are continually striving to increase our inventory through the generous donations of caring people.
We, at Pastors R&R, also seek to offer encouragement, support and helpful resources to all who cross our path. Our desire is that no minister will feel defeated, burned-out or alone as he or she seeks to fulfill the calling God has placed on his or her life.
The Impact
As pastors and ministry leaders are renewed physically, spiritually, and relationally, their families, their ministry efforts, and those they minister to are also greatly blessed and strengthened!
