Relay Worker in our Scotland region.
Erin is doing Relay in Edinburgh, supporting the Christian Union in Queen Margaret 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.
Erin says...
Hello, my name is Erin and I’ve just finished studying Sociology and Criminology at Stirling University. During my time at university, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Christian Union, growing in evangelism, and coming alongside younger students as they grow in faith, and share Jesus with their friends. Over the past four years, I have grown in understanding and appreciation of the magnitude of the Gospel, sparking a passion for sharing the love of God, and the truth and grace of his good news with those that don’t yet know him.
I am looking forward to serving God in this way next year and will be supporting Queen Margaret University CU in Edinburgh in their mission. As a Relay Worker I will be supporting them in various ways, including leading Bible studies, one-to-one meet ups with students, and helping with their events. I am excited to get to know the students at QMU and witness the ways in which the Lord works in and through both believers and non-believers at the university.
As Relay is a voluntary year, it is only made possible through prayer and financial support. I know that I will be reliant on prayer and would love it if you would partner with me in this way. I will be sending out regular prayer letters so please sign up to receiving these. If you are in a position to consider financial support, I would really value this and will be praying that God uses it all for his glory.
Pray for Erin
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Erin’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Erin:
- I would grow in Christ-likeness, serve the CU well, and learn to trust God in all things throughout this coming year.
- That students at QMU would come to experience the love of Jesus and accept the truth and grace of his good news.
- Pray that the CU members at QMU would be encouraged and strengthened, allowing them to to boldly proclaim the gospel over the next year. QMU is a small CU so pray that they would see the opportunities this brings rather than discouragements.
Partner with Erin
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.
