In this powerful episode, we unpack one of the most biblically sound, economically proven, and spiritually multiplying systems for global transformation: IBAM’s Three Fish Model.

Traditional charity often results in temporary relief — but not long-term change. Today, we reveal why most giving fails to produce lasting impact, and how a simple, biblical model is empowering entrepreneurs, strengthening churches, and multiplying disciples across Africa, Asia, and beyond.

Whether you’re a strategic giver, a faith-driven entrepreneur, or a church leader longing for a more sustainable missions model, this episode will shift how you see generosity, discipleship, and Kingdom impact forever.
