Felix Payne

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

Felix 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.

Felix says...

This year I will be serving as a Relay Worker at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University.

Being a part of the Christian Union at the University of Edinburgh taught me so much about God's heart for mission. It was such a joy to be a part of a community united by the commitment to sharing the good news.

I am so excited for the students in Oxford to discover this joy. I'm really looking forward to encouraging students in their walk with Jesus and their witnessing to Him. I'm also looking forward to offering my experience to support students as they think strategically about sharing Jesus.

Getting an opportunity for theological study is something I can't wait to get stuck into. I can't wait to meet God in His Word, and grow in my enjoyment of Him. My hope is that this helps me to invite others to behold what is true, good and beautiful as we look at the Scriptures together.

This year is made possible through your partnership. I would love for you to pray for me – please sign up to my prayer letter to hear how you can do so. Please also consider supporting my ministry and personal expenses through a one-off donation or regular giving. I am so grateful for your support!

Pray for Felix

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

  • Pray for the members of the Christian Unions in Oxford, that they would grow in their faith and share the gospel in love.
  • Pray for students who do not know Jesus – that they would encounter Him through the work of the CUs.
  • Pray that I would grow in wisdom and love this year.

Partner with Felix

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.
