World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions of Canada

Ernie and Darlene Bauserman have faithfully managed WWNTBM of Canada for 24 years. In 2019 the Bausermans retired from over 30 years of missionary service, but have continued to voluntarily manage the Canadian office. We are grateful for their sacrificial ministry that has allowed many of our missionaries to receive funds from Canadian donors.

Over two years ago, Brother Bauserman began asking us to find his replacement as he pursued retirement. The Lord has led us to partner with Calvin and Amanda Bakker. Bro. Bakker is the associate pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Simcoe, and together they operate a private bookkeeping service. The Bakkers have been working with our staff for several months to facilitate the transition of duties.

Please note the updated contact information for our Canadian Office, effective July 1:

WWNTBM of Canada
PO Box 142
Simcoe, ON, N3Y 4K8
CANADA
226-400-1551

Note this new phone number is for the Bakker’s business, and will be answered as Bakker Books. Email correspondence can still be sent to [email protected]. Canadian financial reports should still be sent to [email protected].

If you would like to contact the Bausermans to thank them for their years of service, you may click here to email them.

If you will be visiting churches in Canada, please be aware there are special requirements for accountability of the funds, to ensure you do not have to pay taxes in both countries. Contact our office if you have any questions. Bekah Tolley will remain our staff contact for all matters related to finances and reports for our WWNTBM of Canada office.
