IBAM’s Three Fish Model isn’t a clever slogan.
It’s theologically rooted, economically proven, and spiritually powerful.

Here’s how it works:

1. Give a Fish — Provide the Startup Seed

In Scripture, Jesus fed the 5,000.
He met immediate needs.
He showed compassion and He created a moment of faith.

Likewise, IBAM begins by providing small startup loans—usually $500–$1,000—to believers who want to launch or grow a business.

This isn’t charity.
It’s capital.
It’s dignity.
It’s the seed that gets someone started.

When an entrepreneur has access to startup resources, everything changes:

• They create income.

• They provide for their family.

• They stabilize their household.

• They build confidence.

• They gain influence in their community.
  
  

But this first step is just the beginning.

Because money without wisdom evaporates.

This leads to step two.

2. Teach to Fish — Biblical Entrepreneurship Training

“Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

IBAM provides one of the most robust, biblically grounded entrepreneurship training systems available.
Entrepreneurs learn:

• How to budget

• How to price products

• How to market wisely

• How to lead with integrity

• How to disciple their employees

• How to integrate faith into daily operations
  
  

This training becomes a turning point for most participants.

Patience, an IBAM entrepreneur in Zambia, said:

“IBAM has helped my business grow. I’m more determined, I can budget, and I learned ways to market my business.”
—Patience Chiesu

Mapheso added:

“I’ve become more disciplined and accountable… and I now share my faith effectively.”
—Mapheso Shillai

This training doesn’t just create business owners.
It creates leaders.

But still—the most important part is yet to come.

3. Equip to Disciple — The Secret Multiplier

This is where the magic happens.

The greatest impact IBAM creates is not economic.
It’s spiritual.

IBAM trains entrepreneurs not only to run businesses, but to:

• disciple their employees

• pray with customers

• mentor youth

• strengthen their churches

• create jobs rooted in Christian values

• use business as a platform for evangelism
  
  

This is the multiplication engine.

This is how business becomes mission.
This is how communities transform from the inside out.
This is how disciples make disciples.

Elijah, an IBAM entrepreneur, put it this way:

“Our chicken business can impact society and spread the Gospel.”
—Elijah Aveza

This is more than economic growth.
This is Kingdom growth.

Aziza — Central Asia

Aziza started with a small idea—flower arrangements in decorative boxes.
With IBAM’s training and support, she expanded to:

• 5 branches across Central Asia

• employing young missionaries

• supporting 8 church plants

• creating a sustainable income flow

• discipling her employees daily
  
  

She said:

“IBAM helped me turn my mind toward the Bible, not just business.”
—Aziza interview

Suryan — Indonesia

Suryan expected a loan.
He received a calling.

He now uses his business to:

• employ struggling students

• pray with his team

• share Scripture with customers

• create a discipleship culture in his shop
  
  

His business has become a ministry hub.

The Chicken Business — Zambia

A simple poultry business is now:

• funding children’s ministry

• creating jobs

• strengthening churches

• multiplying disciples
  
  

As Elijah said:

“IBAM’s empowerment could transform Africa.”
—Elijah Aveza

These stories are not exceptions.
They are the pattern.

Because when people are trained, empowered, and discipled…
they become multipliers.

When one believer becomes an IBAM entrepreneur, the ripple effects are dramatic:

📍 Level 1 — The Family

Food security improves.
Kids go to school.
Housing stabilizes.

📍 Level 2 — Employees

Jobs are created.
Extended families benefit.
Workplaces become discipleship arenas.

📍 Level 3 — The Church

Tithes increase.
Ministries grow.
Local missions expand.

📍 Level 4 — The Village

Crime decreases.
Hope rises.
Economic stability increases.

📍 Level 5 — The Next Generation

Young people see a future.
Discipleship becomes cultural.
Faith becomes visible.

And all of it begins with something as small as:

$10/month.

Faith-driven donors want transparency and results — not vague emotional stories.

IBAM provides:

📊 Transparent reporting

Monthly updates to show how your $10 is working.

🧮 Real impact metrics
