Ruth will be starting work with UCCF as CU Staff Worker in August 2022.

On my second day at Cardiff University I was feeling homesick and overwhelmed and contacted the Christian Union. Within hours I was welcomed into the home of some students in the CU. From then on my involvement with CU grew and grew, and I realised that instead of being a Christian social club, it was a mission team with a unique goal - to tell students the gospel.

My time as a student and as a Relay Worker with UCCF were transformative for my faith and evangelism. The training I received in the CU and through Relay deepened my understanding of the gospel and the beauty of what Christ has done for me. I was able to see how God delights to use his people to grow his family and the joy it is to share the hope we have. The CU equipped me to have conversations with my coursemates about the gospel in a way I had never experienced before.

I am so excited to start working with UCCF this August as a Staff Worker in Cardiff. I can’t wait to keep sharing gospel with students and equipping Christian students for lives following and proclaiming Christ. I’d love it if you would consider partnering with me in this amazing mission, supporting me in prayer and giving as I support the CUs in proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
