NEP partner stories:

Jennifer Fouse Vanderbilt Presbyterian Student Fellowship: -It has been a tremendous joy and constant adventure to welcome YAVs to work with us in campus ministry. I've been amazed by the creativity, energy and faith maturity of the YAVs. Furthermore, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching God at work in them, observing them blossom in leadership and witnessing them discover new gifts within themselves.

Chan Sheppard, Preston Taylor Ministries- NEP has been a huge answer to prayer for Preston Taylor Ministries. The YAVs we have had in the past have allowed us to expand our services in a cost-efficient way. The four YAVs we have had serving with PTM have integrated well into our staff and have each come with a unique set of gifts that we have used to grow PTM's impact. They have been bright, reliable, and extremely dedicated to the children and yout we serve.
