Hi! My name is Ceandra Nugent, and I’m from Barrie, Ontario! I love spending time with friends and family, listening to music, being outdoors, and growing in my faith.

I felt called to serve with NET because, as a teacher, I witnessed how many young people struggle with feeling lost, forgotten, or alone. Through my own journey, God has shown me that He never abandons us, even in our most difficult moments. My hope is to share this truth with young people and remind them that they are deeply loved and never alone.

This year, I have been blessed to serve on the White Rock, BC Discipleship Team! Our ministry includes serving at Good Shepherd Parish, Star of the Sea Elementary School, and John Paul II Academy. Through retreats, our newly established youth group called Unbound, and ministries of presence and accompaniment, we strive to meet young people where they are and walk alongside them in their faith journeys.

One of the greatest blessings so far has been encountering the youth and the wider community, hearing their stories, and witnessing the joy that comes from simply being present with them. This mission has reminded me that God works in both big and small moments, and that sometimes the simplest acts of love can make the greatest difference. I look forward to continuing to grow in faith and witnessing all that the Lord has in store!

I would be so grateful for your continued support through prayer and financial donations as I serve on this mission! If you donate $50 or more, or become a monthly donor, you will receive a NET newsletter and personal updates throughout the year!
