The Lightwave Community is currently able to use funding from the Growing In God in the Countryside Project to support Rural Outreach Pioneers who are supported by a Lightwave group.  The funding is specifically designed to help pioneers grow rural outreach and evangelism initiatives which they have begun as volunteers.

  • The Pioneering Outreach is specificly Rural
  • You can show how it is making an impact in the community
  • You have the support of a Lightwave Group both in prayer and to provide encouragement, practical help and accountability for your work.
  • Normally one day per week is funded

If you are interested in applying, then it’s best to first have an informal chat with Sally Gaze, the Archdeacon for Rural Mission. You can contact her at archdeacon.sally@cofesuffolk.org.
