The Woman at the well: John 4:4-42


The Story of the woman at the well:


Woman of Sychar Ministry comes from the story of the Woman at Jacob’s well in John 4:4-42. The Samaritan Woman of Sychar comes to the well, and Jesus, a Jew, asks her for a drink of water. In those times, it was not proper for a man to speak openly to an unknown woman, nor was it deemed appropriate for a Jew to talk to a Samaritan. Given the social norms of the time, the woman should have turned her back and walked away. Instead, she asked why he would ask a Samaritan woman for a drink? Jesus replied, “Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whosoever drinks from the water that I will give him shall never thirst again. And this water shall become in him a well of refreshment springing up even to eternal life.”

Woman of Sychar Ministry is to transform the lives of women, and their children who have experienced family disruptions, trauma, and other challenges that may have substantially impacted their lives. These challenges put women, single mothers, and children at risk of discomfort. Our ministry is to provide education, shelter, life-skills training, Bible study, and to inspire them to improve their lives through a more structured environment. Giving them opportunities for education, to rebuild while growing spiritually, we believe that we will fulfill our calling to introduce them to the Living Water of Jesus Christ.



In Christ,

The Feast of Tabernacles in Biblical Context

  Title: Understanding the Feast of Tabernacles Introduction: The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot, is an important Jewish festival celebrated in the fall. It's one of three major festivals, along with the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover) in the spring and the Feast of Weeks in the summer (Pentecost). These festivals have historical and agricultural significance. In this explanation, we'll explore the history of the Feast of Tabernacles and how it became part of Jewish tradition. Historical Background: Long ago, when the early Israelites arrived in Canaan, they found the local people celebrating a special harvest festival. This festival, though initially not Israelite origin, held great cultural and agricultural importance. Over time, the Israelites adapted this festival for themselves and changed it to honor their God, Yahweh. We can see hints of this in the Book of Judges. It tells us about the people of Shechem who stopped worshiping Yahweh and started worship

The Office of A High Priest

  The Office of a High Priest in the Old Testament (Hebrews 5:1-4): A high priest is chosen among men and appointed before God to represent the people.  He must be qualified to serve in God's ministry and  understand how to approach God on behalf of humankind.  His ordination by God means he is called to serve the people of God in matters related to the Almighty. The primary role of the high priest is to present sacrifices and gifts for the sins of people leading them to offer their lives and possessions to God. "Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray since he himself is subject to weakness. This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for the sins of the people." In the Old Testament, the law required animal sacrifices for the sins of men. However, these sacrifices were per
