this is from the caedmon's call cd that daniel lent me:

in many towns in india, dalits are not allowed to draw water from a well. they must go to the well to beg for a higher caste person to share, and often no one does. hinduism tells them they are worthless, with no hope for change and the caste system reinforces these lies. so, when they hear the truth about God- that He loves them, He made them in His image, and that Jesus came to die so they could be with Him, they are overcome. in john4, Jesus breaks social taboos and drinks after the samaritan woman at the well, and then He offers her the living water. "a well of water springing up into everlasting life." at first this may seem like a call for social justice and as followers of Christ we are commanded to look after the poor and weak. but in the end, its a call to evangelism.

and it ended with a really, really impactful thought:

we are bearers of the well that will never run dry, will we share the well?
