The ReSource staff team
ReSource has a small but dedicated staff team, working in different ways alongside our body of Trustees and our team of Associates and Missioners. This is what we look like…
Before becoming Director of ReSource, Martin Cavender was the Director of Springboard, the Archbishops' initiative for evangelism. A former ecclesiastical lawyer, Martin is a founder member of the Archbishops’ College of Evangelists, and holds the Archishop's Cross of St Augustine, presented for services to the Anglican Communion. Martin is gifted in mission and with long experience of working across the traditions of the church. He is a deeply spiritual man with a great gift of encouragement, passionate about the gospel and committed to working alongside others of all ages and backgrounds. Martin is a great networker, and ministers in partnership with an expanding team of ReSource Associates and Missioners. He is ably supported in this by his wife Cesca who brings her own sense of vocation to this work. Cesca is a member of the prayer ministry team at Harnhill Christian Healing and Retreat centre near Cirencester. She belongs to the Lydia prayer fellowship and has wide experience in prayer ministry, teaching and training. Martin and Cesca have three grown up children and a growing number of grandchildren.
