Relay Worker in our Midlands region.
Isabel is doing Relay in Coventry, supporting the Christian Union in the University of Warwick.
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.
Isabel says...
Hello everyone - I’m Izzy! Thank you for taking the time to explore my support page.
For the last three years I studied English at Loughborough University. I loved every minute serving with Loughborough University Christian Union (CU), reaching students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. I particularly loved evangelism with international students and Globe Café, then in my last year, as CU Vice Chair. Now it’s time for new adventures, so I’m packing my bags for Coventry, and Warwick University CU! I’m so thrilled at the opportunity through UCCF to bring my passion for student evangelism to Warwick, meeting their freshers and coming alongside their committee as they aspire to reach even more students with Christ’s love.
Relay is a year of supporting, advising and cheering on students, but also a year of following God’s voice. I’m excited to see where God is guiding me through Relay and beyond, as I study various theological areas and progress along the way He leads. I am especially excited to meet the international students, fostering their growth in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
I pray that you will consider partnering with me, whether through prayer and/or financially, as we endeavour to reach lost sheep at the University of Warwick. I’ll need £9,000 to support myself through my year with Warwick, so I’d really appreciate your consideration in supporting me financially. In the meantime, please pray for me and the students I will meet in the Autumn.
Pray for Isabel
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Isabel’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Isabel:
- For a smooth transition from Loughborough to Warwick as I settle in. To trust in God’s purposes, as I get to know the large number of students at Warwick Christian Union and adjust to the differences.
- For the beauty of the Gospel to shine truer to me every day, as I reflect on His faithfulness.
- For God’s guidance in my different conversations with students from all kinds of backgrounds. Ultimately, for God’s Holy Spirit to speak through me, in giving loving, encouraging, biblical answers and advice to the students.
Partner with Isabel
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.
