Book a speaker

We are happy to come and speak to your group about the work of Jacob’s Well and our overseas projects.  Any groups, from small to very large groups are possible for us.  If possible we would ask that you would cover our petrol and staff time in giving the talk.

Groups could include Rotary, Inner Wheel, W.I., Coffee Mornings, Church groups, Business lunches or breakfasts, after dinner speaker etc.

Our two main talks are

“Jacob’s Well – Changing the world one life at a time”

This talk introduces the work of Jacob’s Well and explains what we do and where we work. It looks at the need for medical, educational and agricultural aid in the world’s poorest countries and shows how we can all make a difference.

“The life, faith and adventures of an aid worker”

Rev. John Beynon shares stories from his travels in some of the world’s poorest countries.  Inspired by faith in a God who still works miracles today, John talks of his motivation, his frustrations, his joys and his heart-aches.  He describes some of the wonderful people that he’s met and recounts a few of the amazing things that have happened to him along the way, from being rescued from riots by an ambulance to being given hundreds of thousands of pounds by complete strangers. John’s unshakeable conviction is that God is with us, and that He wants to use each one of us to touch the lives of people in need wherever we find them.  John Beynon is the CEO of Jacob’ Well Appeal and Senior Minister of King’s Church Beverley.

School lessons or assemblies

We often take primary school assemblies, helping to raise the awareness of children to what life is like for children in the world’s poorest countries and helping them to see what they can do to help.  In secondary schools we can take lessons that are a combination of multi-media teaching and discussion with Question and Answer.  The sessions are designed to give pupils a greater understanding of poverty in the developing world and different strategies to alleviate it.
