Tamarind’s Top Priority

Providing Refuge and a Launchpad

God is moving through Renewal Project Africa, reaching people in Kenya from backgrounds where following Jesus often leads to persecution.

The establishment of the Renewal Equipping Center addresses two critical theological and practical needs:

Missional Multiplication: The center will serve as a theological and practical training ground for emerging leaders. These individuals are equipped not merely for local service, but to be sent out as missionaries and church planters to expand the reach of the Kingdom into Gospel-scarce areas.

Recognizing the reality of the persecuted church, the center provides a sanctuary for those who have suffered for their faith. It offers a space for restoration, safety, and intensive discipleship, ensuring that external pressures do not halt the growth of the believer or the movement.

The Banda's

Gideon and Joy Banda are the founders and directors of Renewal Project Africa, a charitable foundation that exists to establish and mobilize disciples and churches for holistic Gospel impact in their communities. Founded in August 2020, Renewal Project Africa plants churches in unreached and unengaged People Groups, mobilizes existing churches for mission, and impacts communities where they work in the areas of health, education, water, and business as mission.

Renewal Project Africa (RPA) exists to establish and mobilize disciples and churches for holistic gospel impact in their communities.

Current RPA needs:

  • Bibles for New Believers

    As new believers are baptized through the work of RPA, the ministry seeks to provide each one with a personal Bible.

    Cost: $15 per Bible

  • Shoes for Children

    In many of the communities RPA serves, most children do not own shoes. Your gift of $50 will help provide a pair of quality shoes to ten children and demonstrate the love of Christ.

  • Water Transportation Partnership with 13:34 Foundation.

    • A lack of clean water is one of the leading causes of sickness. RPA partners with the 13:34 foundation to transport water to needy areas where they are church planting. For $180, you can provide one month’s supply of fresh water for a thirsty village. 13:34 hopes to drill 10 permanent wells beginning with Badesa ($10,000) and Shariani ($5,000), Kenya. You can change a village and pave the way for the gospel through giving to this need.

  • Motorcycles for Church Planters

    • Church planters and pastors often lack reliable transportation to reach the communities they serve. Your gift of $1500 will buy a motorcycle will expand the ministry reach of a pastor in rural Kenya!
