You are the reason God has been able to work through NET Ministries to touch over 1.5 million youth across this country! A polling of NET Alumni shows that the great majority stay actively involved in church work. Some work full time in ministry, and some volunteer amidst their careers or their college education. May God continue to draw you closer to Him each day.
Thank you
