Matthew will be starting work with UCCF as CU Staff Worker in August 2021.

I loved my time at university. I loved the diversity of people you’d meet from all around the world. I loved having plenty of free time. I loved talking about life’s big questions with my friends. However, my highlight of university was the opportunities through the CU to tell my fellow students the good news of the gospel.

The more I reflect on my time as a student I am increasingly convinced that university is the ‘last best opportunity’ for people to hear and respond to the gospel. Students have more time than most at uni. It’s a time where they are trying to establish what they believe and what their foundation will be before they go into the adult world. It’s a real crossroads moment. That’s why it’s so important that in that season of searching that the CU reach them with the life-changing news of the gospel.

Starting in August I’ll be working with UCCF in Glasgow alongside two of the CUs there. For the next few years, God willing, I’ll be working with these CUs supporting, encouraging and equipping their members in how to go out and reach their campus with the gospel. I am simultaneously really excited to start but also aware of the weighty responsibility this role comes with so I’d love for you to partner with me in this work. So if you’re willing please do consider partnering with me in this exciting mission by supporting me through prayer and/or financial support so that we can see more students in Glasgow hear the gospel and, we pray, have their lives changed forever.
