Bob Aiken was raised in upstate New York and later spent more than 25 years as a union ironworker in Chicago. After the life-changing loss of his leg, Bob encountered Jesus Christ in a profound way, and that experience transformed the course of his life.

Today, Bob serves the Lord alongside his wife and energetic toddler son in Zambia. His missionary journey has taken him to Central America, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Poland, Ukraine, Malawi, Israel, and beyond, partnering with a variety of ministries wherever God has called.

Bob often says, “Wherever my feet stand, I am a missionary.” Whether serving with established organizations or stepping out in faith independently, his desire remains the same: to faithfully follow Christ wherever He leads. He currently serves with his family in Zambia until the Lord directs them to their next assignment.
