Jonathan will be starting work with UCCF as Relay Worker in August 2025.
Jonathan is doing Relay in Leeds, supporting the Christian Union in Leeds Conservatoire.
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.
Jonathan says...
I have studied at Leeds Conservatoire for the past three years and have been incredibly encouraged to see the CU there grow from one person to nearly 20 in my time as a student. God has been working in amazing ways and fantastic conversations have been had in the most unexpected ways. I'm excited to see how God continues to move in the Conservatoire over this coming year, and I'm looking forward to continue to support the CU whilst also deepen my faith. Therefore I'm asking for support, both spiritually, prayer alongside my work, and financially, to help fund my living costs in the city as I partner with the CU. I am very appreciative of all help and support and thank you in advance for all of it!
Pray for Jonathan
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Jonathan’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Jonathan:
- That there would be a continued growth, not just in size but depth, in Leeds Conservatoire
- That I would grow deeper in my faith and have a deeper trust in God throughout this year
- That I would be equipped to best serve the CU how God wants me to
Partner with Jonathan
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.
