Colleen Estes is part of Living Hope Ministries, out of Thunder Bay.
Colleen’s missionary heart brought her to a remote northwestern Ontario community to live and serve alongside the Ojibwe First Nation peoples in Pikangikum. While Colleen teaches Christian Education classes in the community school to grades 1 to 8, she is also involved in many other ministries. This includes encouraging Pikangikum believers, assisting families in times of loss, informal counseling, coordinating Sunday School and youth events, hosting Bible studies, leading a GriefShare support group, and reaching out to young adults without moms. Colleen brings the perspective of daily life and concerns experienced by the community of Pikangikum First Nations.
