The Ripple Effect of One Yes: How $1,000 Can Fund a Business, Feed a Family, and Multiply Faith
When the Kingdom Impact Summit ended, something unexpected happened.
For three days, over 40 speakers poured out wisdom on faith-driven business and discipleship through entrepreneurship. The room was filled with energy, vision, and worship.
But when the final session ended, no one wanted to leave.
Because the question hanging in the air wasn’t, “What did we learn?” — it was,
👉 “What do we do with what we’ve learned?”
That question has now become a movement.
Today, over 100 Kingdom entrepreneurs across 25 nations are using their businesses to share the Gospel, disciple their employees, and break cycles of poverty.
And it all started with one yes.
From Charity to Discipleship Through Business
For decades, well-meaning Christians have given to causes that relieve pain but rarely restore purpose.
Traditional charity can meet a need for a day — but Business as Mission builds dignity for a lifetime.
At IBAM (International Business as Mission), we call this the Three Fish Model:
1️⃣ Give a Fish — provide startup capital to launch a business.
2️⃣ Teach to Fish — train entrepreneurs in biblical business practices.
3️⃣ Equip to Disciple — coach them to make disciples through daily work.
This is the heart of Kingdom economics — where faith and enterprise meet to empower transformation.
It’s not just about giving money.
It’s about multiplying impact through sustainable, Spirit-led entrepreneurship.
🙌 From Summit Insights to Global Impact
After the Summit, attendees began emailing us:
“I don’t want this to end. How can I help others experience what I’ve just learned?”
Within days, the answer became clear: Fund One Entrepreneur.
For $1,000, a single donor could equip an entire business to start — including:
Startup tools & micro-loan capital
12 months of mentorship & training
Discipleship materials
Accountability with local leaders
Soon, donors were funding entrepreneurs from Africa to Asia.
And one by one, businesses started — each one shining light into its local community.
🌸 Patience’s Story: From Market Stall to Ministry
Patience is a mother and entrepreneur in Africa.
A few years ago, she joined an IBAM training class to learn how to budget, price, and plan her business biblically.
She started small — just a local market stall selling everyday goods.
Then a donor, someone she’d never met, gave $1,000 to fund her startup capital.
Today, Patience employs six women.
Every morning, before the first customer arrives, they pray together and read Scripture.
She says with a smile,
“We don’t just sell goods; we share God.”
That’s the power of multiplication — one gift creating six jobs, six families impacted, and an entire community touched by the Gospel.
💼 Aziza’s Story: The Flower Shop That Funds Missionaries
Thousands of miles away, in Kazakhstan, a young woman named Aziza turned a small flower-and-coffee shop into a multi-branch enterprise.
She started selling bouquets and cappuccinos out of her living room. But after joining IBAM’s Business as Mission training, everything changed.
Aziza began to see her business as ministry.
She opened five branches across Central Asia — each one employing young missionaries.
“IBAM helped me see that my business is God’s business,” she says.
Her flower shops now fund local churches, support young evangelists, and model what it means to blend profit with purpose.
That’s what happens when a business becomes a vessel for the Gospel.
🌱 Suryan’s Story: Discipling Through Daily Work
In Indonesia, a young entrepreneur named Suryan joined IBAM expecting to receive a loan.
What he got was something greater — a vision.
Through IBAM’s Three Fish Model, Suryan learned that his business could be a platform for ministry.
“This isn’t just about a loan,” he said. “It’s about being ready to open a business and make a difference.”
Today, he runs a small business that employs university students who once struggled to make ends meet.
Each day begins with prayer, conversation, and encouragement.
Suryan’s business doesn’t just produce income — it produces disciples.
🔥 The Movement: 100 Entrepreneurs and Counting
From Zambia to Kazakhstan, from Indonesia to rural villages across Africa, the IBAM movement is multiplying.
Here’s what makes it different:
✅ Sustainability: 87% of IBAM-trained businesses remain operational after 2 years.
✅ Job Creation: Each new entrepreneur employs 6–10 people.
✅ Discipleship Integration: 100% of IBAM entrepreneurs share their faith through business.
This is not charity — this is Kingdom capital at work.
It’s believers using their God-given gifts to restore their communities and spread the Gospel through enterprise.
💬 “Business Isn’t Secular — It’s Sacred.”
One of the biggest mindset shifts IBAM helps leaders make is this:
Work is worship. Business is ministry.
For too long, Christians have separated Sunday from Monday — faith from finance.
But God never divided the sacred and the secular.
He calls us to integrate them.
The Bible says:
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” – Colossians 3:23
That means your work, your leadership, your company — all of it can be a pulpit.
When entrepreneurs see their calling through that lens, business becomes discipleship.

🧭 How You Can Be Part of the Movement
You don’t have to quit your job or move overseas to make Kingdom impact.

📖 The Biblical Blueprint Behind IBAM
At IBAM, everything we do flows from Scripture.
Luke 16:10 — “He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much.”
Mark 12:41–44 — The widow’s mite proves that small gifts can yield eternal returns.
Matthew 14:29 — Peter walked when he stepped out.
Colossians 3:23 — Work as worship.
These verses remind us that the marketplace is God’s mission field, and every act of generosity is a seed for discipleship.
🌾 Why This Movement Matters Now
We live in a time when charity fatigue is real.
Donors want more than emotion—they want evidence.
And rightly so.
People are tired of giving to institutions with little transparency. They want to know:
“Does my gift actually make a difference?”
That’s why IBAM was built differently.
Every dollar is tracked from seed to fruit.
Every story is real and reported.
Every entrepreneur is trained, mentored, and discipled.
You’ll receive monthly updates, photos, and testimonies—proof that your generosity is bearing Kingdom fruit.
⚡ The Eternal ROI: Return on Impact
What we build here on earth—companies, portfolios, even ministries—will one day fade.
But the businesses you fund through IBAM?
They outlive you.
When you empower one entrepreneur, your obedience becomes a legacy.
Your yes today will echo in eternity through jobs created, families restored, and souls reached.
That’s what we call spiritual ROI—a return on impact that never expires.
💬 Steve’s Challenge: Turn Inspiration Into Action
“We’ve poured into you. Now you can pour into someone else.
We’ve taught discipleship through business; now you can fund it.” — Steve Adams
The Kingdom Impact Summit gave you revelation.
Now it’s time for multiplication.
Let’s move from learning to launching, from inspiration to implementation, from Summit to Movement.
Because God’s economy is built not on transactions, but on transformation.

✝️ Final Thought: Building What Lasts Forever
Friend, someday all of this—our titles, our companies, our achievements—will fade.
But what we build for God will last forever.
That’s what makes this moment sacred.
Every dollar you give.
Every business you fund.
Every entrepreneur you empower.
It’s all part of a Kingdom economy that can’t be shaken.
