ZEPHANIAH MIKAILU TADAWUS

A Voice for Revival, Evangelism, and Spiritual Renewal

Some stories begin in famous cities. Others begin in quiet villages where God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary assignments.

For Zephaniah Mikailu Tadawus, the journey began in Pella Village, Adamawa State, Nigeria.

Growing up as the son of a pastor, Zephaniah was surrounded by Christian teachings and church life. Yet on September 28, 2019, he experienced a personal encounter with Christ that changed everything. Inspired by the steadfast faith of Leah Sharibu, he surrendered his life completely to God and embraced the Gospel he had known since childhood.

Within a month of his conversion, he sensed a divine calling to evangelism. Rather than rushing into ministry, he dedicated himself to studying Scripture, developing spiritual discipline, and preparing for God's timing.

That preparation led to the launch of Rend and Rinse International Ministries in June 2026

The ministry's name reflects its mission: hearts must first be broken in repentance and then cleansed by God's grace. Its foundation rests on seven guiding words: Seek, Find, Call, Wash, Feed, Lead, and Defend.

Today, Zephaniah ministers through preaching, writing, and music. His books challenge readers to deeper commitment to Christ, while his songs offer encouragement and hope to believers.

Despite his accomplishments, he remains focused on one goal: taking the Gospel to the world.

"I do not know exactly how God will accomplish the vision," he says, "but I know the One who gave it."

With a heart for souls and a burden for revival, Zephaniah continues to pursue the calling he believes God placed upon his life—to proclaim Christ to the nations.
