SUMMARY: The authors of The woman at the well use the narrative from John 4 – Jesus and the Samaritan woman – as point of departure to say: God called us to live for others.

There are six session about the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. These sessions will challenge believers to walk beyond boundaries to others. It also gives background information on the Season of Listening, the Listerning Cycle and the Growing beyond boundaries programme, the values that we want to impart and the method the six studies follow.

Nico Simpson is part of Kruis – a community that tries to live within the boundaries of belief and non-belief, old and new, young and wise, modern and postmodern, whole and broken, classic and creative, integrating and reinterpreting the traditions of the faith. Together with poets, song writers, artists, foodies, wine makers, business people, word smiths, networkers and other friends he is looking for new ways to give our belief a voice. Nico has Elsa, who sees no boundaries and Aletta, who has wings on her feet as his companions on this exploration.
