Riacho da Porta
The community held a special church service to celebrate and promote families in attendance, and this service was attended by many in the community who aren’t “regulars”. Efforts like this are proving to expand relationships across the community.
Santo André
Aside from much work done in the farms, the community held a "Dinner of Gratitude" where each family brought food and recited verses and psalms of gratitude to God. It was a great time of praise and dining together.
Morada Nova
Our most-experienced farming consultant, Kaká, provided irrigation consulting and used those interactions to share the love of God to the men in the community.
Cafundó
This is the newest area for Jacob’s Well, and the families there feel forgotten by the government and struggle with illiteracy and severe water shortages. This initial outreach was filled with relationship-building activities to build trust and camaraderie.
