ReFA' Story
Where it all started
In December 2015, Pastor Barthelemy Ndongo, his wife Carine, and their 3 daughters moved from Cameroon to Canada, establishing a house church in their Quebec City apartment. They were soon joined by Pastor Georges Nkomgang and his family, and within eight months, the congregation grew to 19 members.
In December 2016, the Ndongo family relocated to Ottawa, Ontario, where they launched another house church in their basement, while Pastor Georges continued to lead the flourishing Quebec City congregation, which evolved into a center in 2023. As the Ottawa congregation expanded, a new center was created, prompting the formalization of the church after two weeks of prayer and fasting. This led to the establishment of Restoration For All (ReFA), which now has a presence in five cities: Ottawa, Gatineau, Quebec City, Longueuil, and Victoriaville.
