Eliana will be starting work with UCCF as Relay Worker in August 2026.

Eliana is doing Relay in London, supporting the Christian Unions in Roehampton University and St Mary's University College, Twickenham.

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.

Eliana says...

The CU has been such a huge part of my university life, and it’s been incredibly encouraging to see both Roehampton and St Mary’s grow so much over the last three years. The opportunity to dedicate more time to sharing Jesus with students is really exciting, and I’m looking forward to working alongside students in that, while also seeing how God continues to teach me more about Himself through it all. Alongside Relay, I’ll also be spending one day a week completing a theology study programme and a teaching elective. I’m really excited for how this will help me grow in my understanding of the gospel and equip me to live for the Lord both personally and in my work, not just during Relay, but for the rest of my life too.

I would love for you to partner with me over this next year and, if you’d like to, there are two main ways you can do that. Firstly, financially: this year is voluntary, so I would really appreciate any financial support you’re able to give to help make this work possible. Secondly, through prayer: I know I’ll need God’s strength and guidance throughout the year, so I would really value your prayers. I hope that through this you’ll also be encouraged by the work God is doing in these universities as students hear the good news of Jesus. You can sign up to my prayer letter here and if you would like to know anything else feel free to contact me!

Pray for Eliana

Prayer is a vital part of supporting Eliana’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Eliana:

• That I would grow in my love and knowledge of the Lord in this year.
• For freshers coming to St Mary's and Roehampton, that they would feel welcomed at CU and want to join in the mission.
• That students would come to know Jesus at these universities.

Partner with Eliana

It costs on average £10,000–£14,000 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.
