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.

What is a tamarind?

Tamarind is a large, drought resistant tree the provides refreshment and community for people in Africa, Asia, and South America.  In the midst of war-torn South Sudan, hundreds of people can be found gathering under for shelter from the heat.  In rural India or tropical Belize, the tamarind draws people together.  It’s not uncommon for people to gather for prayer and worship under the majesty of her leaves.  

Why the name tamarind?

The tamarind is a metaphor for people in needy areas of the world gathering to be refreshed and equipped by the Lord in order to face the challenges of advancing the kingdom.
