Renee joined NETS in September, 2001. "My husband and I had supported NETS since it was just a vision. Since being hired I have had the privilege of seeing this ministry grow from a vision to a reality." Renee was in charge of a number of NETS firsts, including the first newsletter and the first fund raising banquet. In fact, her first assignment was to raise money for the down payment on the first NETS properties - four condos, purchased in October, 2001. Renee has enjoyed wearing many hats over the years, including development, recruiting, property management and donor contact. Renee now oversees all aspects of student recruiting, enrollment, and housing.

Wendy joined NETS in 2001. Since then, her duties have included the creation of all printed material, including our newsletters, brochures, stationery, and logos as well as posters and other materials for recruiting prospective students. She also designs programs, signage, and other items for special events like the annual banquet and NETS Pastors Conference. No, her last name is not a typo or a coincidence. Together Rob and Wendy make an outstanding team, enabling NETS to effectively communicate the Gospel in ways few small organizations can: "For me, it has been exciting to see how God has called a group of people with varying personalities and talents and used them to advance His Kingdom in New England. I am so thankful to be part of this ministry."
