<h2>Who we are<\/h2>\n      <p style=\"margin-top:18px;font-size:1.05rem;text-align:left\">The name Waterjars comes from the wedding at Cana, recorded in John 2:1&ndash;11, where Jesus performed his very first miracle by turning water into wine. When Jesus filled the water jars and the water became wine, everything about their purpose changed. What once held water for cleansing now overflowed with the finest wine, poured out for the joy of many. The jars were never the same again. In the end, everything points to Jesus. That hope is the very heart of who we are.<\/p>\n      <p style=\"font-size:1.05rem;text-align:left\">This is why Waterjars exists simply, as a channel. We come alongside organisations we know and trust, people doing faithful and genuine work among those in need, and we invite you to join your hands with theirs. We don't see ourselves as the source of anything; we are the vessel, the humble means through which generosity can flow toward His kingdom here on earth. We hope to help people see the deeper meaning in giving that to care for others is to take part in something eternal and good. Just as those stone jars were filled and poured out for the gladness of everyone at the feast, we long to be filled and poured out in the same way.

What We Believe Three things that shape our work Faith Rooted in Christian conviction, our work flows from a belief that we are loved by Jesus and called to love our neighbours. &#9998; Stories The way we honour communities is by telling their stories truthfully. Carrying their voices so generosity has a face and a name. &#10084; Generosity Giving freely of time, talent, and treasure because we have been freely given to.
