THE ORDER OF JACOB'S WELL
Raising Awareness of the Kingdom of God
OJW ALONGSIDERS
Alongsider's Biblical Basis
Our leader, and Prior, sets out the theological and mission basis :
“It is within my heart at this time that our Order of Jacobs Well should be considering how to share in ever more positive ways what has been known and grown in our Wells for many years - the ‘Good News’ of the Kingdom of God …… In Christ’s parable, the farmer who sowed the seed did not choose only to sow on to the good and fertile ground. Instead he was broadcasting the seed everywhere and anywhere, and thus with varying results. Jesus shows us that such free sowing is the nature of God’s love for his children. In the same way it would be really good to find ways of bringing those other children together; those who would love to become more closely connected within the Order, so that we all might learn and share our kingdom lives together…….. From such communication would come stronger prayer lives, greater, and greatly needed. Kingdom growth; more Kingdom seekers and even more Wells.”

Reverend Nick Hawkins and Mrs Janie Hawkins currently lead our Alongsiders ministry. They are long serving members of the OJW team and have led our Alongsiders ministry since its inception. They are both heavily involved in the Order as Elders and are Trustee Directors of OJW Ltd.
Where are our Alongsiders?
We currently have 350 members, from all walks of life and locations, across multiple continents. We share the same purpose, of seeing the Kingdom of God grow and having a more meaningful and deeper relationship with God.
