Hello,

My name is Thomas du Quesnay, and I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. I enjoy playing guitar, sports, and going on side quests with my friends, whether that be night hiking, go-karting, or pickup basketball.

NET has been on my radar for the majority of my life, but I did not expect to become a missionary myself, let alone this year! After graduation, I had imagined I would continue schooling in the trades this year, but our Lord had other plans. About 2 months ago, I started feeling a small pull towards NET, but I would brush it off every time He put becoming a missionary on my heart. The pull just became more and more undeniable as time went on and I knew that NET was where Jesus wanted me to be. Despite being so last minute, I was still able to follow this call and hope to honor God and further His Kingdom in the hearts of our youth.

I am now serving on the team stationed at Star of the Sea Parish in Surrey, BC, where I get the opportunity to minister to youth at a high school and elementary school. Because we are stationed in one place, it is much easier to build intentional relationships with the youth and others in the Parish. One of my favourite ways to connect with the youth is through sports at Lunch in the gym.

I would like to say thank you so much to all of my supporters. My heart is full, and I am filled with gratitude at the beauty of your generosity. To anyone who is still looking to support NET through me, I would be overjoyed if you feel our Lord putting it on your heart to help spread the Gospel message to the youth of our country. Also, if you donate $50 or more, or donate monthly, you will receive a NET newsletter and updates from me throughout the year!
