Relay Worker in our Wales region.
Ellen is doing Relay in Cardiff, supporting the Christian Union in Cardiff University.
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.
Ellen says...
Hi,
I'm Ellen and after three years of studying in Cardiff I'm really excited to be staying around for Relay. Throughout my time at uni, I have loved being a part of Cardiff Uni CU and so I'm looking forward to being able to continue to work with the CU and see God's goodness and faithfulness as we do mission on campus.
As part of Relay, I will be working alongside students, discipling and encouraging them as they seek to share Jesus with their friends as well as receiving lots of training that will help me grow in my own walk with God.
As Relay is a voluntary programme, I will need a team of supporters who will pray for and support me financially. I will be sending out regular prayer letters and will need to raise enough money to cover the costs of my living and training. I'd be really grateful if you would consider supporting me either in prayer or financially and would love to let you know about what's happening in Cardiff.
Pray for Ellen
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Ellen’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Ellen:
- For the students of Cardiff Uni CU, that they would be bold in sharing the gospel
- That students would adapt well to changing circumstances and be creative in the events that they plan
- That I would adjust well to the new role and trust in God's provision
Partner with Ellen
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.
