Tiana will be starting work with UCCF as Relay Worker in August 2025.
Tiana 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.
Tiana says...
Hello, I'm Tiana and I've just completed an English and Spanish degree at the University of Bristol. From September, I'm excited to be serving alongside the students in Exeter CU!
I have been so blessed by my time in Bristol CU, which encouraged me over my four years at uni to step out in faith and share the gospel with those that don't yet know Jesus. It has been a joy to see non-Christian students engaging with questions of faith and some open to the gospel. In this next season, I am looking forward to seeing the work that God is doing in Exeter, and getting the chance to be part of that work by encouraging and supporting the students in the CU.
I know that I can do nothing in my own strength, but I must rely wholly on God's strength and provision. I would really value your prayers that I would trust in God completely over this next year. As Relay is voluntary and self-funded, I would also really appreciate it if you were able to prayerfully consider supporting me financially. Any support, whether praying or giving, is so valued. Thank you!
Pray for Tiana
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Tiana’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Tiana:
- Pray that I would completely trust and depend on God this year and grow in my love for Him.
- Pray that I would settle in well to Exeter and for building relationships with people there.
- Pray for the students in Exeter CU to feel empowered to step out in faith and share the gospel with the people they come across on campus.
Partner with Tiana
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.
