Matthew reflects on Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well - taking us through the historical and cultural context.

As this marginalised woman became a witness to many, Matthew also challenged us to consider the difference between 'attractional ministry' and Jesus' model of going out and sharing faith. Who might we consider Samaritans in our own lives and how can we cross those boundaries with humility, truth and compassion?
