introducing our missionaries...
Walter & Cindy served as NCEM missionaries from 1988 to 1998, then launched an urban based missions organization that included church planting in Regina, Saskatchewan.
In 2017 NCEM’s Governing Board appointed Walter as NCEM’s General Director, and he served in that role until 2024. The Selkes are now serving full-time in Public Relations, representing NCEM to individuals, in homes, small groups, churches and colleges.
Walter was born and raised in Clyde, Alberta, and made a commitment to Christ at age 20 while a construction worker in Calgary. His involvement in Bible camp led him to pursue ministry training, and he attended Nipawin Bible College from 1985-88.
That is where he met Cindy. Cindy was born in Regina, and had made a profession of faith at age 15. During their Bible college years both of them gained firsthand experience in ministry with First Nations – Cindy as a summer trainee with our NMTC program, and Walter with Continental Mission in northern Manitoba.
With a common calling into full-time ministry, and a heart to reach First Nations people, they were married in 1989 and together began serving in Regina.
