In their founding years, James and Vickianne Camille joined with Pastors Doug and Karen Stanton (Vickianne’s Sister) as they planted and established the Northside Fireplace church in Brisbane, Australia. That few years of working together saw the impartation of vision and, as Doug and Karen left for the United States to continue their work in ministry, James and Vickianne answered a call to the South Pacific and left for Fiji, carrying with them the mantle and vision of the Fireplace. Jim & Vickianne established the Suva Fireplace Church in Fiji in the spring of 2006.  They have worked faithfully to build a very vital and outreach oriented congregation. Together, they serve the Lord with hearts that burn for evangelism and revival.  God planted something in the Spirit that has ignited the Fireplace Vision in the heart’s and mind’s of native Fijians. Revival lives on as the fires burn and continue to spread under God’s mantle.
