Hi! I’m Laura, the Staff Worker for Coventry University Christian Union. You may or may not be aware that there are hundreds of Christian Unions (CUs) around Great Britain that all seek to share the Good News of Jesus with their universities. These CUs are all supported by a charity called UCCF (University and College Christian Fellowship) who aim to help CUs be as effective as they can and one way that they do this is through Staff Workers. I have the privilege of working with three great CUs (Coventry, Warwick and Northampton) and my job is to equip and motivate them to encourage students at their university to consider Jesus. It’s such an exciting job and I’m really looking forward to seeing what God will do through CUCU this year!

Hey! I'm Josh and I'm going to be the Relay Worker at Coventry.

I studied biomedical science at Keele University and became involved in serving with the Christian Union throughout my time there, which has really helped me to grow in my faith. After coming out of COVID to meeting people face to face again, I've constantly been encouraged and motivated to see the impact of evangelism through students, both through those who are confident and those who feel weak, especially during events and through personal conversations. Moreover, to have the fellowship with like-minded Christians and to mutually encourage and build each other up has been a blessing to be a part of.

As I go into this next year in Coventry, I'm excited to work with and support other students, to help them to grow in their love for God and the CU mission, and to see how God uses them to reach the students there.
