Pinnix, John and Janet
The Lord has clearly prepared the Pinnix Family for the difficult work
of carrying the gospel to remote Alaska.
John Pinnix first moved to a homestead in rural Alaska with his parents
in 1973. John later returned to Alaska as a navigator in the US Air
Force on the E-3 AWACS, this time with a family of his own. While in the
Air Force, John received vital training in navigation and arctic
survival skills over his 20 year career.
John and his family have been active members of the Independent Baptist
Church of Anchorage since 2004. In 2007 John took a leading role in
starting Remote Alaska Missions (a ministry of Independent Baptist
Church) while assigned to Elmendorf AFB. The task at hand was to
coordinate resources, logistics, and people and lead trips into the
Alaskan bush by boat, airplane, and snowmachine. Since Remote Alaska
Missions began, John has spent much of his personal time and income to
take the gospel to the people of remote Alaska.
When John retired from the Air Force in 2010, he became a full-time
missionary to remote Alaska, serving under the Independent Baptist
Church of Anchorage.
