Zipporah is doing Relay in London, supporting the Christian Union in King's College London - Strand 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.
Zipporah says...
Hey everyone, my name is Zippy and this year I will be doing Relay with King's College London - Strand Campus Christian Union. I studied Fashion Business Management at the Fashion Retail Academy on an accelerated degree and I’m excited to be spending the next academic year serving the Lord and being in His Word while supporting Strand CU!
As a Relay Worker I’m looking forward to being able to support and encourage more young people in their walk with Christ, to delve deeper in their faith and find the love and comfort following Christ brings to their lives. Joining Guildhall's CU during my first year really showed me the beauty of fellowship and the love of God. Flowing from this, a particularly special moment for our CU was seeing God reach people we never thought He would reach during our pizza and Jesus nights!
I really look forward not only to supporting Strand CU in their outreach to make Christ known on their campus, but also to helping the London UCCF Team in their projects, events and logistics as part of my role as a Relay+ Worker. In this, I hope God grows my creativity and project management and uses these gifts for His Kingdom and His will.
‘And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:7).
I'm so grateful for this opportunity but I also need support in prayer and finances. Please do consider signing up for my prayer letter, and also Relay is a voluntary role and I’ll be relying on provision from the Lord including financial support from those who give. I’m aiming to raise roughly £10,000 for living and ministry costs. If you’re able to give it would deeply appreciated.
Thank you so much and God bless!
Pray for Zipporah
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Zipporah’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Zipporah:
- Please pray for Strand CU, and that I’m able to settle in well with them and that their hearts will be on fire for Christ.
- Please pray that I’m able to stay rooted in God's Word and continue to fully lean on Him.
- Please pray that the Lord continues to help the London UCCF Team and that I’m able to really help them with their projects, events and logistics.
