Thank you for landing on my page! My name is Jacob Douglas. I have been with NET Canada since graduating from St. John Brebeuf High School in the beautiful Fraser Valley of BC in 2014. I currently do HR and missionary recruitment. 

I came from a practicing Catholic family of eight kids. I occasionally attended daily Mass and even encountered Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration as a young boy. I instinctively knew it was God. The Catholic faith made sense to me and intellectual ascented to much it proposed. But my faith was lacking. What the world offered, I also “needed” to have. I tried to have both sin and God. The result was I became restless, irritable, and discontent. 

God reached out to encounter and draw me back to himself many, many times. Through many experiences and people, I grew in knowledge of my need for God and desire to follow Him.

During a retreat in the Spring of my grade 11 year, I was thanking God for all He had done to release me from the bondage of my sin. At that moment, I was infused with a desire to share this “good news” with others. Everyone needed to know the joy and peace that comes from a life progressively surrendered totally over to God’s care and direction! 

This began a journey that led me to serve with NET Canada to this day. I have not managed to yet outdo God in generosity (Mark 10:17-31). It is a privilege to help equip our young adult missionaries to go across Canada, challenging young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of His Church.

 If you have read this far, I’m sure you care about this mission, too. Join us in making sure every youth in Canada has the opportunity to hear about, respond to, and live for Christ!

 One way to support is through financial support:

• Donate online on this page
• Call the NET Canada office T-Free: 1.877.521.4426
• Contact me directly at 613.600.2838
• If you can support me, monthly donations are preferred to one-time donations. *For a non-profit whose mere existence depends on donations, having an expected monthly donation – regardless of the amount – provides invaluable security when it comes to budgeting and planning.*

God bless you in knowing and living boldly your missionary call!
