We talk about the LOAM (Local Open Air Meetings) held by our National Missionaries and we wanted to share the process with you.
1. May 10th – Rev. Samson Zulu (one of our IAM missionaries) writes out a request for financial assistance for a LOAM that he was planning on July 7th – July 10th in Sinda, Zambia. Samson near Lusaka, and Sinda is 280 miles away from him. He then sends the request to his National Director, Edison Tembo.
2. May 24th – Edison Tembo (Zambia’s National Director) and Edenson Sikatali (his associate) approve the LOAM request, and send the request on to their immediate superior, Fraywell Chipeta (Southern Director).
3. May 27th – Fraywell approves the request, and returns it to Edison. Edison then emails it to the OKC office for approval.
4. May 31st – Brent approves the request for $500, and asks me to add it to the wire for June.
5. June 1st – The monthly wire goes out, along with the $500 for the Sinda LOAM.
6. July 8th- 10th - The LOAM proceeds, with the oversight of Samson’s Regional Team Leader – Youdah Nkhoma, who lives 76 miles from the LOAM site. Most of the $500 that was sent was used for the travel of Samson and his timothies from Lusaka to Sinda.
7. July 28th – Edison sends a testimony of the LOAM, with results and specifics.
