This may be the hardest part to hear—but stay with me.

Handouts, when overused, can unintentionally create:

• Dependency

• Passivity

• Lack of ownership

• Erosion of dignity

• Loss of local initiative

• Generations waiting for the next donation
  
  

This is not what donors want.
And it’s not what communities want either.

No one wants to rely on outside help forever.

People want the dignity of work, income, purpose, and leadership.

Dependency is not dignity.
And dignity is not optional—it’s essential.

What communities truly need isn’t another container of supplies.
They need the tools, training, and discipleship to build their own tomorrow.

This is where the way forward becomes clear.

For years, the Church has debated:
“Is it better to give a fish… or teach someone to fish?”

But at IBAM, we’ve learned something powerful:

The Kingdom approach is not one or the other.
It’s all three.

1️⃣ Give a Fish — Immediate Relief

Just as Jesus fed the 5,000, we meet practical needs with compassion.

2️⃣ Teach to Fish — Biblical Business Training

Wisdom and skills empower believers to steward resources faithfully and sustainably.

3️⃣ Equip the Fisher — Capital + Coaching + Discipleship

Because knowledge alone doesn’t multiply; mentorship does.

This model:

• Breaks dependency

• Honors dignity

• Creates jobs

• Strengthens churches

• Funds local ministry

• Multiplies disciples

• Builds sustainable communities
  
  

This is what most Christians wish their giving could accomplish…

And now it can.

This isn’t theory.
It’s happening in real communities, with real people, right now.

And the most powerful part?

These stories don’t come from foreign missionaries—
They come from local leaders you’re equipping through IBAM.

📌 Elijah Aveza — Awana Zambia & IBAM Trainee

“Our chicken business is impacting society and spreading the gospel. IBAM’s empowerment could transform Africa and the world.”

Elijah isn’t just earning income—
He’s funding local ministry, creating jobs, and discipling youth.

📌 Fegas Kaumba — IBAM Master Trainer

“I’ve seen my business flourish while contributing to a sustainable approach for disciple-making across Africa.”

He’s not just growing a business.
He’s growing the Kingdom.

📌 Patience Chiesu — Female Entrepreneur, Zambia

“IBAM helped my business grow. I’m more determined, I can budget, I know how to market my business.”

This is dignity.
This is empowerment.
This is sustainable, faith-driven transformation.

These aren’t just stories.
They are proof that the model works.

If something inside you is stirring right now…
That’s not guilt.
That’s not frustration.

That is holy discontent.

That is the Spirit awakening believers to something deeper.
Something more impactful.
Something that aligns generosity with true discipleship.

We are witnessing a shift from:

• Charity → to Sustainability

• Relief → to Empowerment

• Donations → to Discipleship

• Western-led → to Local-led

• Moments → to Movements
  
  

This is what so many believers have been praying for:
A way to give that multiplies.
A way to serve that empowers.
A way to steward resources that honors the Great Commission.

Let’s revisit Jesus’ teaching:

“To whom much is given, much is required.”

Most believers interpret this as a call to give generously.
But it’s actually a call to steward strategically.

Jesus didn’t just give.
He multiplied.

He didn’t create dependency.
He created disciples.

He didn’t focus on temporary relief.
He focused on generational transformation.

This isn’t just about giving money.
This is about building a model of missions that mirrors the heart of God:

Empower.
Equip.
Disciple.
Multiply.

That is what IBAM exists to do.
