What if I told you that something as small as $10 could change the future of a family? It might seem impossible, but at IBAM (International Business as Mission), we’ve seen it happen over and over again.

That small amount—less than the cost of a lunch or a movie ticket—can provide training, resources, and mentorship to an entrepreneur in need. And with that, they can start a business that feeds their family, creates jobs, and spreads hope in their community.

Let’s explore how something so small can grow into a legacy of faith, opportunity, and transformation.

The Power of Small Beginnings

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." – Zechariah 4:10

Big things start small. A seed doesn’t turn into a tree overnight. It takes nurturing, patience, and faith.

At IBAM, we’ve seen how planting a “small seed” of $10 can lead to big results. Your $10 helps fund:

• A week of business training.

• A small loan to start a business.

• Mentorship to guide entrepreneurs on their journey.

Think of your $10 as water for a seed in dry soil. With time and care, that seed grows into a tree that provides fruit and shelter for generations.

From Loan to Legacy

What Starts as a Loan Becomes a Legacy

When you support Kingdom Entrepreneurship, you’re not just giving someone a loan—you’re helping them create a legacy.

Here’s how it works:

• Training: Entrepreneurs learn critical skills like budgeting, marketing, and leadership.

• Small Loans: They receive the funds they need to launch their business.

• Mentorship: They get ongoing guidance, spiritually and practically, as they grow.

  Patience, an IBAM entrepreneur, started a poultry farm in her village. Before, she struggled to feed her children. With training and a small loan, she built a thriving business. Today, she employs two others and sends her children to school.

Key Takeaway: A small loan doesn’t just help one person—it impacts their family, their employees, and their entire community.

Breaking Poverty Cycles

Poverty is More Than a Lack of Money—It’s a Lack of Opportunity

Poverty isn’t just about living without money. It’s about living without hope or the chance to change your circumstances.

When you give to IBAM, you create opportunities for families to:

• Provide for their basic needs.

• Send their children to school.

• Access healthcare and other essentials.

Claire started with a coffee cart in Central Asia. She used her earnings to expand her business and now runs five shops. She employs young missionaries and uses her platform to share the Gospel.

Supporting Kingdom Entrepreneurship is like planting trees in a barren desert. It doesn’t just bring life—it creates a place where others can thrive.

The Ripple Effect of Generosity

Your $10 Creates Ripples That Last for Generations

When you give $10 a month, you’re not just helping one person—you’re starting a ripple effect that impacts entire communities.

Here’s what happens:

• An entrepreneur starts a business.

• That business provides for their family.

• It creates jobs for others.

• It inspires others to dream and build as well.

Fegas runs a logistics company in Kenya. His business employs 15 people and funds weekly Bible studies at work. One of his employees, who had never opened a Bible before, gave his life to Christ because of John’s leadership.

Takeaway: Your generosity doesn’t stop with one entrepreneur—it spreads hope, opportunity, and faith to everyone around them.
