Samuel will be starting work with UCCF as Relay Worker in August 2022.
Samuel is doing Relay in Keele, supporting the Christian Union in Keele University.
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.
Samuel says...
Hi, my name is Sam and this year I am a Relay Worker at Keele University. I studied music technology at Coventry University and was very involved with the Christian Union. Being a part of the CU was a real blessing to me and helped me to grow so much in my faith.
Through the CU, I was able to see first-hand how effective student evangelism is when you're living and working alongside those who don't know Christ. Seeing how God is always at work and loves to use those who feel weak and unable is a joy, as well as a big encouragement to me personally. It's why I'm excited for this year ahead. It will be a privilege to work alongside and support these students as God works through them. In a time where so many are exploring and asking questions, I hope to be able to help and encourage our students to share the hope we have in Christ.
But to be able to do this, I will need support. Both financially and, most importantly, through prayer. I’m so excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to see how God will be at work!
Pray for Samuel
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Samuel’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Samuel:
- That students in Keele will grow in their confidence to share the Gospel with their friends
- To remember that it is God who saves, but to take encouragement knowing that He delights to use us for His mission
- That I will learn to be fully dependant on Him, knowing that He is a God that always provides for us
Partner with Samuel
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.
