Transforming Communities Through the Gospel & Holistic Development
Jacob’s Well Missions exists to bring holistic transformation — spiritual, economic, and social — to undeserved families and communities, integrating discipleship, community health, and sustainable development.
SOCIAL
Because health is a critical foundation for families and communities to thrive, we pay special attention to health and sanitation "basics" ... clean water, wastewater management, personal hygiene, and illness detection and prevention. Preventing disease and setting a community on the path to health also helps break the cycle of dependence.
SPIRITUAL
Church Planting, Discipleship and Community Transformation. This is the heart of Jacob's Well Missions. Through careful mentoring of local leadership, thriving church communities are built where families are restored and children witness the power of God firsthand. Together, we are committed to empowering these communities to bring lasting change and hope to all who live there.
ECONOMIC
Building on the agriculture heritage and strengths of each community, Jacob's Well Missions is committed to supporting sustainable economic growth. Through strategic partnership with local agencies and university leadership, we have seen exciting new farming techniques like hydroponics, drip irrigation, and crop species optimization used to maximize precious water resources.
OUR STORY & APPROACH
Jacob’s Well Missions began when founders Renato and Michele Cassula began building intentional relationships with the drought-impacted community of Riacho da Porta in northeast Brazil, meeting with families, listening, sharing meals, and earning trust through consistent presence and love. Their ministry emphasizes relationship-based transformation, engaging community members in planning, implementation, and long-term growth so that their own strengths and culture lead the way toward lasting spiritual, social, and economic change. Through this collaborative approach — rooted in the Gospel — wells have been drilled, trust restored, churches planted, and lives now continue to experience hope and transformation.
