Gideon and Joy Banda are the founders and directors of Renewal Project Africa Trust, 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.

The Bandas have a deep passion to shepherd church planters' families and work for their flourishing. They have three boys: Jotham, Joshua and Jason. The Bandas live in Mombasa Kenya, a beautiful coastal city in East Africa. They call their home the ‘Kingdom House’ to reflect their passion to surrender all they are to Jesus. Joy and Gideon see the Bay Area Community Church family as their American home.

MISSION:
 
Gideon and Joy Banda serve unreached people groups in and around Mombasa, Kenya through Gideon's role with East-West Ministries. They are discipling leaders, sharing the gospel and helping plant churches all around Mombasa.
