My name is Ellie Germain. I am from Fort McMurray, AB, but for the last two years, I’ve lived more in Edmonton, working on my Education and Kinesiology degrees at UofA. So, I hope to be a teacher someday!

NET Canada came to Fort McMurray when I was a young teenager, and their ministry started me on the path to becoming the person I am today. Since then, I have always had the dream of doing NET someday to share the gift of knowing God that NET gave me with other young people! I ultimately decided it was the time to do NET because I was involved in planning and running a weekend retreat with the Catholic Students Association at UofA. During the retreat, we were doing prayer ministry, and the thought just burst into my head how beautiful and truly life-changing putting on this one weekend retreat was and how amazing it would be to spend every day putting on retreats with NET! My team now does just that, travelling from community to community, and putting on retreats. My favourite part about putting on retreats is praying with the youth and witnessing the Holy Spirit move in them during Prayer Ministry. So far, my Team has met so many amazing people for Ottawa to PEI and we can’t wait to see what the rest of our mission year has in store for us.

Any support from donations will go a long way in helping me spread the love of the Lord! However, if you donate $50 or more or donate monthly, they will receive a NET newsletter and personal updates from the road throughout the year! And please keep me and NET in your prayers throughout the year!
