Relay Worker in our Midlands region.
Kane is doing Relay in Nottingham, supporting the Christian Union in Nottingham Trent University - Clifton Campus.
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.
Kane says...
Hi, I’m Kane!
Having been involved in the Christian Union for all three years of my university study. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to serve alongside them for another year as a Relay worker with UCCF.
CU’s are communities made up of Christian students with a mission – to give every student on their university campuses the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus. Why? Because we believe that everyone needs Jesus. 1 Peter 2 v 9 says that we have been brought out of darkness into the Kingdom of light, and we have been set apart SO THAT we should declare the praises of the one who saved us. There are so many stories of how the Lord has used CU’s to bring people to Himself, what a joy it is that He invites us to be a part of that work!
As a Relay worker, my role in this ministry will be two-fold; 1) to be discipled through theological study and support by a Staff worker, and 2) to support and encourage students in the CU to reach students on campus with the Gospel.
What could your role in this ministry be?
William Carey, a missionary to India in the late 18th Century, famously said “I’ll go down, but remember you must hold the rope”. Relay is a volunteering program and so I will need to raise money to cover living costs for the year to enable me to invest in this mission, which I estimate will be about £13,000.
Will you consider being a Gospel partner in this mission? Your role in this ministry could consist of 1 or both of the following:
1) Pray (Sign up to my monthly prayer letters and join me in praying for CU mission)
2) Give Financially (Follow the link to give through stewardship)
Thank you for your support!
Pray for Kane
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Kane’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Kane:
- Pray that I grow in dependence on God and grow in knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus as I study His word.
- Rejoice in all that the Lord has done through CU's to bring people to Himself. Pray that He would continue to work in Nottingham through the CU and that Christian student would be passionate and bold in reaching the lost with the Gospel.
- Pray that the students at NTU Clifton CU grow in confidence as they share the Gospel with unbelievers, and that the Lord would use them as He saves the lost.
Partner with Kane
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.
