Victoria will be starting work with UCCF as Relay Worker in August 2025.
Victoria is doing Relay in Southampton, supporting the Christian Union in the University of Southampton.
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.
Victoria says...
Hi, I'm Victoria. I've just finished studying Physics at Southampton University and am excited to serve as a Relay Worker in Southampton this year!
The Christian Union was a great source of encouragement, prayerful support, and friendship when I first came to university, and continued to be throughout my whole university journey. The Lord has shown me the power He has to transform hearts through evangelism, as well as the joy that comes from evangelising to students with the CU. I greatly look forward to supporting students in the CU this coming year, as well as learning from the Science Elective study programme.
This new role is definitely not one I can do on my own or in my own strength. It would be great if you could prayerfully support me: by signing up for my prayer letter, you'll receive updates about how you can be praying for me and Southampton CU each term. Relay is a voluntary role, so financial support would also be greatly appreciated to cover my living and ministry costs for the year. Please do get in touch if you'd like to find out more!
Pray for Victoria
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Victoria’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Victoria:
- Pray that I'd be able to trust and fully rely on God for provision this year
- Pray that God would equip Southampton students to boldly share the love of Christ with those around them
- Pray that new students coming to Southampton would feel welcomed and loved at CU events and know God's peace
Partner with Victoria
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.
