MEET THE SUMMIT TEAM
STEVE ADAMS | HOST
FOUNDER AND CEO
Steve Adams is the Founder of International Business as Mission (IBAM), a global movement equipping Christian entrepreneurs to launch redemptive businesses that fuel church planting and disciple-making. After leaving a successful banking career, Steve built a thriving business but longed to use his unique skills for God’s Kingdom.
In 2007, he led his first business-as-mission trip to Russia, training local believers to start sustainable businesses as platforms for discipleship. Since then, IBAM has expanded worldwide—accelerating new churches and Kingdom businesses in some of the most challenging contexts. Steve’s passion: to see business used as a powerful tool to disciple nations.

YOUR FREE TICKET GETS YOU IN...
BUT YOUR UPGRADE SENDS THE GOSPEL OUT!
For 3 days, you’ll be equipped with strategies and inspiration from global Kingdom leaders.
But here’s the greater truth: while you’re being poured into, there are thousands of young believers around the world praying for the opportunity to launch businesses that can sustain their ministry, support their families, and disciple their nations.
That’s why upgrading matters.
When you upgrade to Lifetime Access, you’re not just securing unlimited replays of every session—you’re directly funding IBAM’s mission to train and launch entrepreneurs in some of the world’s most impoverished countries.
🚀 Every upgrade helps plant new Kingdom businesses.
🌍 Every business becomes a disciple-making tool.
🙏 Every disciple-making tool advances the Gospel where it’s needed most.
Imagine this: your upgrade could be the seed that funds a small flower shop in Central Asia, a farming business in Africa, or a coffeehouse in the Middle East—all led by Christian entrepreneurs trained to disciple through business.
This is more than access. This is impact.
Upgrade today and join us in creating Kingdom entrepreneurs worldwide.
"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."
