Vincent, Melissa, Zachary, and Ian Aniku serve in Midigo, Northern Uganda.
Vincent grew up as a refugee and a soldier’s son moving around Uganda. He got saved at a young age and the persecution started immediately. God brought him back to his home in Midigo and called him to the ministry. He since has finished Bible College and married Melissa. Melissa Aniku grew up in Southern California and felt a calling for missions. She went to Uganda in 2009 and is now a permanent resident for life.
Vincent is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Midigo discipling hundreds of believers in a Muslim area of Northern Uganda. The Aringa people are known to be one of the most unreached people groups in Uganda of the 10-40 window. They are a people group numbering about 700,000 with the majority (95%) being Muslim in the area of Midigo where they serve.
Calvary Chapel Midigo has a Nursery and Primary School with 920 students, a congregation over 500, a teens ministry of 700 and children’s ministry of 600. The church supports the government run hospital with 16 Christian nurses who share God’s love, the gospel and care for the sick or dying. The church also supplies needed medication.
Melissa’s ministries are first and most homeschools her two sons, helping raise the many Ugandan children they care for, and lead women’s ministry for the church. She also tends to the daily guests that come for prayers, cares for missionary teams and interns. Vincent and Melissa also run the Bible College, affiliate of Calvary Chapel Golden Springs and manages the Calvary football (soccer) team that is in the Uganda Premier League, sharing the gospel internationally.
Remember to pray regularly for the Aniku family! Specifically for health and protection against persecution, for God’s provisions and direction, and for more laborers. The harvest and the ministries are plentiful, but the laborers are few.
