Key takeaways

The Jesus Lane Trust's stated focus is Christian gospel ministry among students, with a priority on Cambridge and a remit that also covers the United Kingdom, so work of that kind is the clearest fit.
Neither its annual giving nor its grant range is stated, so the published material cannot tell you what a realistic request would be.
No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so check directly with the trust how it accepts approaches before you write anything.
Its grants are described as supporting student worker and ministry intern roles and church employment costs for Christian workers, so frame any request around that purpose.
