Board of Directors & Team

From 2016 to 2025, he served as Regional Minister Catalyst with MCEC, mobilizing the Anabaptist community across the province of Quebec and the Ottawa region. In this role, he supported churches, encouraged leaders, and helped build bridges between French-speaking and English-speaking Christian communities, with a vision centred on unity, accompaniment, and mission.

Today, through RADAR, Michel pursues this same vision: to gather, embrace, and support believers of Anabaptist heritage while developing spaces for dialogue, growth, and reconciliation. Passionate about authentic leadership and human development, he believes that a true leader is recognized by his capacity to serve, to listen, and to lift others up.

Lead pastor of l'Église de Dieu Réparateur des Brèches, he has built a vibrant, multicultural, and intergenerational community where diverse cultures meet in one shared faith. Alongside his pastoral ministry, he has worked extensively with MCEC (Mennonite Church Eastern Canada) to support the planting and accompaniment of French-speaking churches — a partnership that directly paves the way for RADAR's current affiliation process with Mennonite Church Canada.

A founding member of RADAR and Treasurer of its interim Board of Directors, Ronald carries with conviction the vision of a French-speaking Anabaptist gathering rooted in acceptance, the formation of leaders, and reconciliation. His journey reflects a deep passion for the unity of the Church and service to people and communities.

After serving as worship leader and youth president, then as evangelist, he was recognized as a pastor in 2019 and installed as the lead pastor of Centre Bethesda Church in 2021. Married and the father of several children, he serves as Vice-President and Secretary on the RADAR Board of Directors.

A nurse by profession, she holds a college diploma as well as a bachelor's degree in nursing sciences. Eager to deepen her theological understanding and ministerial commitment, she is currently completing a master's degree at the École théologique du Québec, affiliated with Université Laval. This institution was founded in partnership with the Association of Mennonite Brethren Churches of Quebec and the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Quebec.

For more than thirty years, she has faithfully carried out various ministries within the Church. Her path of service notably includes the roles of cantor, children's ministry leader, choir director, youth ministry president, Bible teacher, women's ministry coordinator, and preacher of the Gospel. She was recognized in pastoral ministry in 2023 at the Église de Dieu Sainteté de Montréal.

Wife and mother of four children, Pastor Ruth Estimé continues her ministry with dedication and humility. She also sits on RADAR's Board of Directors, where she helps promote a vision of the Church grounded in acceptance, the formation of committed leaders, and reconciliation. Her desire is to see the francophone Christian witness take root in faithfulness to the Gospel, service to others, and the unity of the body of Christ.

Consecrated to evangelical ministry, she continues with dedication the teaching and preaching of God's Word, seeking to encourage and build up the Christian communities around her.

Settled in Quebec since 2019, Rachel completed accounting training and currently practises in this field with professionalism, rigor, and integrity. She brings this expertise to RADAR's Board of Directors.

He furthered his training with certifications in peacebuilding and conflict transformation (Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation, Zambia) and in theology (Veritas College, United States), as well as several certifications in territorial development in Central Africa.

Over a professional career of more than two decades, he served as a secondary-school teacher in several institutions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. Convinced of the transformative power of education, he founded two secondary schools — Institut Tanganika in Kabumbe and Institut Piluca in Mukwezi — in eastern Congo. Alongside this, he worked as a rural development facilitator, engaged in community mobilization and the implementation of integrated development projects.

His expertise in peacemaking also led him to serve in Zambia as a trainer in the "Messengers of Peace" program. Building on this experience, he co-founded the Peace Club in School initiative, a peace-education movement in schools that gradually spread across several countries in southern Africa. He also co-founded several development NGOs and integrated village committees that supported development projects in various communities of eastern DRC.

Answering the pastoral call, Onésiphore Kiota first served as an elder in his church, then was ordained to pastoral ministry. He is today a pastor at Centre Bethesda Church in Quebec City, where he continues his commitment to the community. He is married and the father of several children.
