Relay Worker in our Central region.
Christopher is doing Relay in Oxford, supporting the Christian Unions in Oxford Brookes University and the University of Oxford.
Relay is a ten-month discipleship, training and mission programme run by UCCF, a charity which aims to give every student in Great Britain an opportunity to hear and respond to the good news about Jesus Christ.
Relay Workers equip, resource and encourage student Christian Unions whilst being discipled and trained by a member of UCCF staff.
Christopher says...
Hey everyone! My name is Chris and I'm super excited to be spending the next year as a UCCF Relay Worker based in Oxford. Over the past three years I've been super blessed to be involved with the Christian Unions in Oxford. Being a part of Oxford CU has impressed upon me the joy and importance of living a life that displays Jesus and shares the Gospel. And so having been a student in Oxford myself, I am excited to get the opportunity to help serve the CU here! I look forward to serving alongside the CUs in Oxford, both sharing Jesus with students who don't yet know him, and encourage and equip the evangelism of those who do.
As part of Relay I am looking to raise support, both in prayer and financially. Relay is a volunteer year and so I am needing to raise around £10,000 for both my living and ministry costs. Most importantly, any work we do for the Lord begins with prayer and I am readily aware that in order to make the most of all the opportunities for sharing the Gospel with students, as well as for my own spiritual growth, I will need to rely on God’s grace and power. Therefore, if you would like to sign-up to receive my prayer letter, or give a financial donation, please do use the links at the bottom of the page or get in touch with me directly!
Pray for Christopher
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Christopher’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Christopher:
- Pray that many students in the city of Oxford would be open to the Gospel and exploring who Jesus is.
- Pray that the the CUs in Oxford would be filled with a spirit of power and love as they seek to share Jesus.
- Pray that God's spirit would be at work in me, guiding me in my daily walk with Jesus and growing my faith through this year.
Partner with Christopher
It costs on average £8,000–12,000 to cover the living and ministry expenses of a Relay Worker.
Having a team of people who partner financially and in prayer with Relay Workers means that they can:
- Encourage CU students in their faith in the Lord Jesus.
- Give biblically-grounded answers to students exploring Christianity.
- Support CUs as they seek to give every student the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.
