Relay Worker in our South West region.
George is doing Relay in Exeter, supporting the Christian Union in the University of Exeter.
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.
George says...
I will be doing Relay at the University of Exeter, working with students studying a wide variety of subjects. I'm excited to be part of the Christian Union team in Exeter, working to tell people of the hope we have in Jesus Christ, and helping Christian students to continue growing in faith.
The Christian Union played a large role in my time at university, helping me to grow in my own faith and in sharing the gospel to my friends. It is my hope that in my time in Exeter I can help the students there in the same way. I am also enthusiastic about continuing to grow in my own faith over the year, spending more time in the Bible getting to know God and his grace in greater depth.
Moving cities is a daunting prospect, but I know I have God behind me to guide me. Over the year I will be reliant on prayer and financial supporters to help make serving in Exeter a possibility. If you, or anyone you know, feels as if you could become a supporter of my time on Relay this coming year that would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking an interest in my job for the next year. Please stay in touch - I want to hear about you too!
Pray for George
Prayer is a vital part of supporting George’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from George:
- Pray that God would work in my heart to be bold in showing the students of Exeter Jesus' love.
- Pray that as a CU we would see many people added to the Kingdom of God.
- Pray that God would gracefully give students open hearts and opportunities to receive the gospel
Partner with George
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.
