Why Your $10 Matters More Than You Think: The Real Life Behind IBAM’s Impact
Most people see statistics.
God sees stories.
And behind every IBAM number—
every entrepreneur trained, every loan given, every business launched—is a life in motion, a family redeemed, and a testimony unfolding.
This is not a story about charity.
This is a story about multiplication.
About discipleship.
About legacy-level Kingdom impact.
And today, you’re going to meet one of the many faces behind those numbers.
Her name is Aziza.
And her story represents hundreds more God is raising around the world.
The Quiet Beginning of a Global Story
Let’s start where most testimonies begin—
not with success…
not with resources…
but with hunger.
Before she became a multi-nation entrepreneur, before she discipled young missionaries, before businesses blossomed across Central Asia…
Aziza was just a girl in Kazakhstan with a heart that belonged to Jesus.
Coming out of a Muslim background, she met Christ at nine years old, after He revealed His love to her in a supernatural way.
As she grew, she wasn’t discipled into comfort.
Her pastors taught her something countercultural:
“If you want to serve God fully, you must learn financial sustainability.”
This wasn’t prosperity teaching. It was stewardship teaching.
They taught her that full-time ministry isn’t funded by wishful thinking.
It’s funded by wisdom.
By work.
By skills.
By entrepreneurial obedience.
So she tried.
And failed.
And tried again.
She sold fruit crisps.
She taught English.
She launched a dance studio.
She experimented, hustled, prayed, worked, and waited.
Then one day, almost by accident, she found something that stuck.
Coffee. Flowers. Bouquets from her little apartment.
Small beginnings—but God has never despised those.
The Spark That Became a Flame
Her first Women’s Day sale? 100 bouquets.
The next year? 500 bouquets in a single day.
Her pastor encouraged her to expand.
So she opened a new branch.
Then another.
Then one in Kyrgyzstan.
But success brings responsibility.
And Aziza suddenly found herself:
Young
Overwhelmed
Leading multiple branches
Carrying discipleship responsibility
Without a clear business framework
She needed wisdom… not just passion.
She needed strategy… not just hustle.
She needed discipleship… not just success.
She needed what every faith-driven entrepreneur needs:
Someone to walk with her.
The IBAM Connection That Changed Everything
On the last day of a Christian conference in Turkey, Aziza met someone connected to IBAM.
That connection turned into something she never expected—
training, discipleship, investment, and belief.
She said she couldn’t believe that a legitimate business ministry
would take an interest in what she called her “small startup.”
But God sees differently.
IBAM flew to her nation.
They trained her team.
They opened Scripture.
They showed her the biblical foundation for business.
They discipled her leaders.
They brought practical tools, spiritual clarity, and business wisdom.
She said:
“I learned that God is in charge of my business. It’s His business. Not mine.”
And then—
IBAM invested financially into her business.
Suddenly, she had the capital she needed to expand further.
With that investment, she launched:
✔️ A branch in Tajikistan
✔️ Another in Uzbekistan
She now runs five branches in Central Asia.
But that’s not the miracle.
This is:
Her entire team consists of young missionaries.
17 to 29 years old.
All passionate for Jesus.
All needing sustainable income.
Her business became their discipleship engine.
The Moment Her Story Became a Movement
What IBAM did for Aziza wasn’t limited to her.
She discipled young women.
She trained missionaries.
She helped workers provide for their families.
She integrated faith into business.
She funded local ministries.
She opened doors for the Gospel.
Her vision?
“My business is how I help missionaries become financially sustainable so they can serve Jesus freely.”
This is Business as Mission.
This is the Three-Fish Model in action.
This is the Gospel with hands and feet.
And she is not alone.
Zooming Out: 91 Entrepreneurs and Rising
Now multiply Aziza’s story by 91.
Because that’s how many entrepreneurs IBAM has trained, equipped, and empowered— and that number is growing toward the thousands.
Here are just a few testimonies:
Patience — “IBAM helped me grow as a person and grow my business.”
She learned budgeting, marketing, discipline, and confidence.
Mapheso — “I learned how to share my faith through business.”
Business became her ministry field.
Fegas — “My business is flourishing and fueling disciple-making across Africa.”
An entrepreneur and master trainer multiplying impact.
Joseph — “Through IBAM, we can transform Africa’s youth.”
Business became the tool for generational change.
Elijah — “Our chicken business spreads the Gospel.”
Entrepreneurship funding ministry work for families and children.
These aren’t charity cases. These are Kingdom catalysts.
These are disciple-makers disguised as entrepreneurs.
These are leaders being raised to shape nations.
And your generosity fuels it all.

“You Weren’t There… But Your Generosity Was.”
Maybe you hear these stories and think:
“I wasn’t present.”
“I didn’t teach the training.”
“I didn’t give the business advice.”
“I wasn’t on the ground.”
But the truth is deeper:
Your generosity was there.
Your obedience was there.
Your faith was there.
You may never set foot in Tajikistan or Zambia.
But your impact already has.
You may never meet the young women Aziza disciples.
But your support disciples them through her.
You may never see the Bible studies happening inside businesses.
But your generosity funds those studies.
You may never watch a missionary receive their first sustainable income.
But your obedience made it possible.
Your giving is not a donation.
It is partnership in the Gospel.
It is multiplication.
It is legacy.
Why Many Christians Hold Back (and Why They Don’t Have To)
Using insights from IBAM’s Belief Shift Map,
here are the three biggest reasons people hesitate to give—
and the truths that set them free.
Belief #1: “My $10 won’t matter.”
This is not doubt.
This is misunderstanding how the Kingdom works.
God multiplies little.
IBAM multiplies little.
Disciples multiply little.
At IBAM, $10 is not small.
$10 is seed.
Seed becomes harvest.
Harvest becomes legacy.
Belief #2: “Charities waste money. I need transparency.”
You’re right to desire clarity.
Most donors on Christian forums express the same frustration—
trust and transparency are the #1 barriers to giving.
That’s why the IBAM Impact Membership includes:
✔️ Transparent monthly reports
✔️ Real stories
✔️ Real metrics
✔️ Real testimonies
✔️ Real discipleship fruit
You don’t give into the dark.
You see the fruit.
Belief #3: “Business isn’t ministry.”
This is one of the biggest myths in missions.
Business IS ministry when done in Jesus’ name.
Work is worship (Col. 3:23).
Business is discipleship.
Entrepreneurs are missionaries.
IBAM doesn’t mingle faith with business—
it integrates faith into business,
so God owns it all.
The Future: Where IBAM Is Going Next
2026 isn't about maintaining. It’s about multiplying.
More entrepreneurs.
More discipleship.
More nations.
More testimonies like Aziza’s.
And next week, IBAM will unveil the vision that donors, members, and partners have prayed for.
A vision that moves from addition… to multiplication.
