AFRICA
Vincent and Melissa Aniku – Uganda
Praise God:
-Our church continues to grow both in number but more importantly in relationship with Him. The church had a hard season but what is meant for evil, God uses for Good! The unity and depth of prayer that has grown in us as a church family, only God could do.
-We have begun construction on our chicken and egg project for the school! We have also finalized the purchase of the land. Once the rains start, our church will start the large-scale farming for the children, both for the health through proper diet and also for the school to become self-sustaining.
-We have resumed posting Sunday and Wednesday service on YouTube.
-West Nile TV (who often interviews Vincent, giving opportunity for open air sharing of the gospel) has come to take photos and videos of all our ministries. Lord willing, we will have our website up by March.
Prayer Requests:
1. Our boarding is over full! We should have 120 children in each boarding quarters but currently have over 140. Please pray with us as we seek God in building more dormitories.
2. The doctor found in my blood work that my body is fighting itself somehow. They have requested more blood work. As soon as we get the answers from the Lord, Vincent will come for 2 weeks then we will go back together. Through this trying time, I have learned, it is not for us to understand His mysteries but to trust in Him!
May God continue to bless those who have answered the call to bless these children this year! God’s timing is more than perfect! Photos of the chicken houses and farmland next month. For this month we just want to show you all these amazing children and what God is doing! To Him be all glory forever! We praise God for allowing us to be part of His mighty work!
Thank you for your prayers!!!!

Please continue to pray for the nation of South Sudan. Decades of Civil War have collapsed the economy, resulting in mass starvation and desperation. Hopelessness and violence run rampant throughout communities.

Pray that the pastors and medical staff will have the spiritual and physical tenacity to handle the countless challenges while living amongst Stone-Age tribes.
In Kenya:
Pray for the refugee students in our missionary training college in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. They are fasting and praying as they prepare to return to South Sudan to begin reaching cities across the border in North Sudan, with hopes to plant churches amongst Muslim peoples in 2020-21.
In USA:
Pray for the Missions Equip Training Programs. We are in the throes of launching two new schools this year.
The first – International School, will be used in Bible Colleges as a complete missions training course.
The second – Transformation, is a cross-cultural immersion training program, equipping missionaries to assimilate into their new culture while learning the language and world view. Pray that God would continue to empower, envision and sustain us as we seek to establish nationally led, culturally relevant, biblical-based churches among unreached peoples.
Thank you for your prayers!
