About NET Ministries

NET Ministries (NET) is a ministry directed towards high school youth, college students and youth working adults. The ministry is expressed through retreats, workshops and leadership training seminars.

During the past eighteen years, NET has served many dioceses throughout Australia and New Zealand, positively impacting the lives of some 400,000 young people. That is many lives that have been challenged, changed and hopefully protected from some of the more tragic experiences of which young people are too often the victims.

One of the distinguishing features of a NET team is that it is made up of young people (17-30 years old). Following five weeks of training, the teams embark on ten months of ministry to the youth of Australia.

The NET ministry is characterized by a clear presentation of the Gospel message that challenges young people to place God first in their lives and develops concrete ways they can grow in their faith.

Often the students we work with are severely hardened due to a lack of love, broken families, and drug or alcohol misuse. By working near the ‘front line’ as we do, we continue to see God’s action as he touches lives with his love.

The funds raised are used to provide a personal stipend, training in youth evangelization, formation in Christian character, countless opportunities to share my faith, food, accommodation, medial coverage, pastoral supervision, ministry supplies and over 5 weeks training intensives. Each teammate will also be raising the same amount.

NET does not receive any government funding. NET is able to charge modest fees for its services in schools, dioceses and particular churches.

The annual cost of NET Ministry is less than $550,000, which funds 40+ ministry workers and has an impact on 30,000 lives each year, including over 10 administrative staff.

Please prayerfully consider supporting me and the ministry with prayer and financial support. Your donations are tax deductible. You can offer a one-time gift or a monthly pledge online.

In addition to raising the funds for my year at NET, I am responsible for my transportation to and from Australia. You can donate directly to this transportation fund by clicking the "donate" button on the right.
