On an annual basis, approximately 90 young men and women participate in an extensive training program before beginning their time of service with NET Ministries. The team members are brought to a deeper understanding of their faith and are taught to effectively communicate that faith to others. They receive instruction in prayer and Scripture, Catholic teaching, Christian character, content of the Gospel message, and ministry skills.
The young adult volunteers are then grouped into teams and sent out in vans to travel across the United States to share their faith and invite everyone they meet to give their lives to Jesus. These eight teams will reach out to over 60,000 youth from September to May. Four additional team serve solely in Canada and six more serve in Australia and New Zealand.
After serving with NET, 90% of the team members continue in some form of service to the church, with 15% of these pursuing priesthood or religious life.
