Welcome to Jacob's Well! 

Jacob’s Well, an interdenominational ministry in South Africa, was initiated in 2003 (after the famous SACLA* conference) to support people who find themselves “between jobs" or unemployed.

* SACLA was the South African Christian Leadership Assembly, a very large gathering of Christian leaders from various spheres of influence that took place in Pretoria. They spoke and strategized about the larger challenges or "giants" that the Church and Ministries had to face in our country.

We often hear of people who cannot find a job, or have been retrenched, or have lost their jobs. So little is done for those people. We as congregations and churches can no longer look the other way. Obviously this is a very intricate problem to try and resolve, as jobs do not grow on trees. Yet, there is hope when sympathetic hands start to get organized. A group of people got inspired and came up with a plan to establish such a network: Jacob’s Well!

This is where we help you!
