Transforming Communities for Christ — One Village at a Time

When you join the mission of IBAM, you’re not only helping people start a business…

You’re helping communities gain sustainable income, spiritual discipleship, and generational change through a proven “Give, Teach, Equip” model.

Your support fuels the same pathway you’re learning inside our Third Fish Academy—so the impact multiplies beyond one person, one gift, or one moment.

This is the bridge from learning → living the mission.

WHAT YOU'RE FUNDING WHEN YOU GIVE

When you give through IBAM, you’re helping fund a sustainable model that empowers entrepreneurs in developing countries:

Empower Christian entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses.
Equip discipleship multiplication, so entrepreneurs disciple and mentor others IBAM.
Transform entire communities—economically and spiritually—one village at a time.
Operate with transparency and trust, sharing stories, progress, and measurable outcomes.

This isn’t “just a donation.” This is Kingdom partnership.

Because when entrepreneurship and discipleship come together, it doesn’t just change one person…
it changes families, jobs, generosity, leadership—and entire communities.

That’s why we say:
Transforming communities worldwide — one community at a time.

IBAM Impact Stories

Here are a few of our life-changing stories where people were called to entrepreneurship and were equipped through the IBAM process to thrive as empowered indigenious entrepreneurs.

Real people. Real fruit. Real transformation.

Aziza - Kazakhstan

"IBAM changed everything for me. I started with a small flower-and-coffee idea at home, and today, by God’s grace, I’ve grown to five branches across Central Asia—all supporting young missionaries. IBAM helped me see that my business is God’s business."

Suryan - Indonesia

“My business helps students who come from far away and are struggling financially. We give them work, pray together, and share Bible stories. It helps them grow both financially and spiritually. Thanks to IBAM.”

Mapesho Shillai

"Since joining IBAM, I've become more disciplined and accountable in my business, learned to share my faith effectively, and been inspired to encourage the youth to engage in business for collective well-being rather than just profit."

Joseph Mbangue

"We are privileged to partner with IBAM because we know that in this partnership, we'll be able to reach out to children and the youth who are the agents of change, and you bring transformation to Africa."

Elijah Avesa

"As the chairman of Awana Zambia's board and an IBAM trainee, I've seen how our chicken business can impact society and spread the gospel. IBAM's empowerment through knowledge and resources could transform Africa and the world, enabling entrepreneurs like us to support and sustain vital programs like Awana that change lives of children and families."

Josephat

"As the administrator for the IBAM-Awana Partnership, I've witnessed how our initiative empowers people through business while spreading the gospel, truly putting Jesus' teachings into practice. We're grateful to see this transformational work expanding beyond Zambia to other African countries."

Fegas Kaumba

"As an IBAM master trainer and entrepreneur, I've seen my business, Fake Logistics, flourish while contributing to a sustainable approach for ministry and disciple-making across Africa, thanks to IBAM and Awana's empowering partnership.."
