At IBAM, we believe in the metaphor of the three fish:

GIVE A FISH = a $1,000 loan to launch a service business.

TEACH TO FISH= essential biblical entrepreneur education to sustain a business.

EQUIP FOR DISCIPLESHIP = teach IBAM students skills in the multiplication of new disciples of Jesus Christ. Encourage discipleship to multiply impact.

When you invest in the IBAM mission, you are equipping IBAM with resources and students around the world with what they need to live out this “Three Fish” metaphor in their own lives.

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.

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.."

A Word From Our Founder, Steve Adams

Hey there! I'm Steve

The motivation for International Business as Mission began when I went to Bangkok in 2004 on a mission trip with my church. Over the next ten years, we planted 30 churches and saw 1500 new believers come to Christ. It was a disciple-making movement. But something was missing.

I was a businessman. Having left a comfortable career in banking at God's urging, I started my own business and was having great success. But I couldn't see myself working as a traditional missionary in a way that would use my very particular strengths and passions. Most missionaries bring skills from medicine, education, social work, those sorts of things.

My pastor suggested I go on a business-driven mission trip. So in 2007 I got trained and went to Russia, where I launched new business startups led by entrepreneurs I had trained, who were also believers. Our aim was to build God's Kingdom by making disciples through business. When I saw the incredible impact, I realized that this is what God wanted me to do.

I started developing a program and a business training curriculum, and tested my vision in Serbia in 2009, and again in the Middle East in 2011. From there, it grew to where it is today, touching nations all over the world and accelerating new church plants alongside newly launched Christian-owned local businesses.
