Get Involved

There are plenty of opportunities for involvement in LoAN.

1) Invite a speaker to come to your church or home gathering to present more on the LoAN ministries in the Congo.

2) Become a partner in prayer and in correspondence with people in the eastern Congo region. Correspondence between American prayer partners and victims of sexual abuse has been initiated and become a meaningful part of a rehabilitation ministry for women in Kivu.

3) Support financially the LoAN ministries. These ministries depend on the financial contributions of people like you. Show your concern for the people of eastern Congo by making a donation to furthering these media and humanitarian ministries in the Congo. You can specify your project of choice by emailing accountant@loafrica.net.

4) Adopt LoAN as your church’s Global Outreach ministry. A number of churches, and individuals, in the Orange Country area of California have listed LoAN as a venue for their World Mission emphasis.

5) Volunteer time and talents to provide services stateside. The success of field activities in Goma relies, in part, on the services provided by compassionate and willing believers in the United States. Your particular field of expertise could help someone in Africa. Contact us and find out how your skills and experience could further God’s kingdom in Congo.  For example, can you write a series for radio programming relevant to a health condition in this region?  Do you have a language skill relevant to the area? Can you research a given topic? You tell us what skills you have.  You may be surprised what we may need. Send inquiries to Camille and Esther Ntoto by emailing getinvolved@loafrica.net.

6) Visit Goma and put to use your particular spiritual gifts in a short term mission effort. We've had people help with radio equipment installations, computer lab setup and training, and studio recording techniques and skills. Volunteers can make a big contribution and we welcome their assistance. For further information, email the Ntotos at getinvolved@loafrica.net

7) Stay informed and keep abreast of developments in eastern Congo and LoAN. Sign up to receive email updates at newsletter@loafrica.net, or visit the LoAN website frequently. You can correspond with the NTeam by emailing NTeam@loafrica.net. The NTeam is a highly committed support group for the Ntotos' ministry in the Congo, handling most of the correspondence related to the Ntotos and their current activities.
