In this powerful episode, we explore the transformational shift from giver to builder—and how God is raising up Kingdom-minded leaders around the world to create long-term, sustainable Gospel impact.

Featuring the inspiring testimony of Elijah Aveza, chairman of Awana Zambia’s board and an IBAM trainee, you’ll hear how a simple chicken business is doing far more than generating income—it's discipling a nation. Through IBAM’s biblical entrepreneurship training, Elijah and countless others are learning to build businesses that sustain ministries, empower families, and spread the Gospel across Africa.

This episode blends real field stories, spiritual transformation, and practical discipleship. Whether you're a donor, business leader, or someone who wants your giving to matter long after you're gone—this message will shift your mindset and ignite your calling.
