Shining Lights Trust The Shining Lights Trust is a strategic resourcing ministry, serving Christian churches. It’s purpose is to help resource, encourage and aid the Christian Church in the sharing of it’s message of God’s love to a world in need of hope. Dave Mann is Director at Shining Lights Trust and is married to Heather and they have four sons. They returned to New Zealand at the end of 2010, after eight and a half years in Singapore. Their goal was to try a few things out, to help the NZ Church with its outreach — this ministry being the vehicle. Dave is a gifted leader, communicator and author with a passion to see the Christian faith both well represented within and positively appreciated by our society. Following theological studies at the Bible College of New Zealand (now Laidlaw) Dave worked in community ministry in South Taranaki, and then as a pastor in Singapore before returning to New Zealand to begin his current work.
