Lightwave group leaders are able to help their groups/initiatives to become more fruitful when their incumbent or someone with similar authority makes time for them and encourages them to take risks and to think big. These "permission givers" or "advocates" instill confidence and help the leaders to access other kinds of support within the diocese. Lightwave offers help to leaders to help them connect with people who can support them and also supports incumbents in their key role of being permission givers and advocates for others engaged in local mission For ordained and lay ministers, we offer a chance to walk your area with an experienced leader in rural mission, to pray and chat over possibilities or ongoing one-to-one support or mentoring. In the first instance contact Sally Gaze on 07446933129 or email Lightwave Incumbent Support (CofE) or Lightwave Lay Leader Support or Lightwave Ecumenical Support.
