Hi! I’m Garth Pereira and the proud father of 6 fantastic children and the husband of a vibrant, beautiful wife named Rebecca Pereira who is also a NET alumnus and soon to be interior designer. Growing up in a family of musicians I was pursuing a career in music when a friend challenged me with the question, “Do you really want to be fiddling while Rome is burning?” I recognized the call to use the gifts God had given me to bring youth to Christ. I joined NET staff in 1998 and I now oversee the success of all of NET’s outreach ministries through retreats, parish youth ministry, and music.
