Jason and Melody Fitch—Washington State
Jason & Melody Fitch, with their four children—Ashleigh, Megan, David, and Emma—are serving the Lord in the city of Vancouver, Washington with Open Door Missions. They moved to the Northwest from Atlanta, Georgia in August 2001 with the goal of planting and pastoring a new fundamental, independent Baptist church in the Northwest. After a short intern at Heritage Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Oregon, they moved to Vancouver to begin the work to which God had called them. Cornerstone Baptist Church began in July 2003. God is greatly blessing their work. They have seen steady spiritual and numerical growth in their church. It is their long term goal to see Cornerstone Baptist Church begin other fundamental, independent works in their surrounding region. See Cornerstone's website here.

Russell and Michelle Posey-Alaska & Siberia
The Poseys' ministry is primarily church planting in the remote regions of Siberia and Alaska. They accomplish this using various methods which include but are not limited to: literature distribution, evangelism, humanitarian assistance, and discipleship of local nationals to carry on the work. They have lived in Alaska or Siberia since 1984 and continue to work out of the local church in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Poseys currently live in Kenny Lake, Alaska. This area is considered the "bush" since it is a remote location away from the big cities. Anchorage, Alaska is about 5 hours away by road and Fairbanks, Alaska is about 6 hours away by road (depending upon road conditions).
