The Widow’s Mite Still Works: How $10 Can Disciple Nations

Ever Wondered If Your Giving Actually Changes Anything?

You’re not alone.

Countless believers ask the same questions:

“Where does my donation actually go?”
“Can $10 even make a dent in global poverty?”
“What if I want to give... but I’ve been burned before?”

Here’s the truth: You're not doubting generosity.
You're doubting multiplication.

But what if we told you that $10 is not just a gift—it’s a seed?

And when planted in the right soil, it can grow into businesses that feed families, disciple communities, and glorify God.

The Mustard Seed Principle in Action

Jesus told us that the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed: tiny, but powerful when planted.

That’s exactly how IBAM operates. We believe small, consistent generosity—combined with discipleship and training—can produce exponential, eternal impact.

So what does IBAM actually do?

We use your $10/month to:

Fund micro-loans that launch real businesses
Equip entrepreneurs with biblical business training
Mentor leaders who multiply disciples in their communities

This is not charity.
It’s Kingdom investment with spiritual ROI.

From Loaves and Fish to Coffee and Flowers

Let’s get specific.

💐 Claire (Central Asia)

Claire started by selling coffee and flowers from her home. Through IBAM training and investment, she now runs 5 branches across Central Asia—each one staffed by local missionaries who are supported financially through the business.

“IBAM taught me that business is ministry,” Claire says. “Now I use my store to support our church, disciple women, and expand into new nations.”

🐔 Elijah (Zambia)

Elijah runs a chicken business that sustains children’s programs through Awana. With IBAM’s help, he’s scaling while keeping Christ at the center.

“This isn’t just business—it’s revival in the marketplace.”

☕ Suryan (Indonesia)

Suryan didn’t think he had much. After joining IBAM, his small café became a place of prayer, employment, and spiritual mentoring for students in need.

“We pray with staff, read the Bible with customers, and teach skills that last for life.”

Why People Stop Giving—and Why You Won’t

Many generous people stop giving because:

Obstacle : “I’ve been burned by charities.”

IBAM’s Response: IBAM is fully transparent with stories, numbers, and photos.

Obstacle: “I want to support ministry, not overhead.”

IBAM’s Response: Your dollars go straight to launching real businesses.

Obstacle: “I don’t feel connected to where I give.”

IBAM’s Response: IBAM sends personal updates and connects you to real entrepreneurs.

Obstacle: “I want to give but don’t think it will help.”

IBAM’s Response: We show exactly how your seed multiplies.

The 3-Fish Model That Makes It All Work

IBAM’s structure isn’t a mystery. It’s deeply biblical and incredibly effective:

1. 🐟 Give a Fish

Provide a micro-loan to help a believer launch a real, local business.

2. 🎣 Teach to Fish

We walk them through proven startup steps—with God at the center.

3. ✝️ Equip for Discipleship

Business is the platform, but making disciples is the purpose.

This is how we turn giving into transformation.

What Makes IBAM Different?

✅ Not just charity—real investment

✅ Faith-integrated business training

✅ Transparent reports and global updates

✅ Focused on sustainability, not dependency

✅ Every business launched = disciples made

Most charities stop at “relief.”
IBAM builds long-term resilience.

We don’t hand out aid. We raise up leaders.

Final Takeaway: Your Faith + $10 = A Multiplied Legacy

Most people never take action because they believe they’re too small.

But God never needed big to do big things.

He just needed people willing to plant what’s in their hands.

“You’re not too small. You’re just too silent.”
