We are challenging each missionary to aim to complete their goal in six months.

We would encourage each missionary to aim for seeing 1/4 of their total goal raised every six weeks.  

Data indicates that each missionary should aim for approximately 60 partners. 

On average it is normal for a missionary's support team to be around 60 partners per missionary in the family unit. If both husband and wife are raising support it would be normal for their support team to be around 120 people.

...

We have seen that there is typically significant progress made in the first six weeks , when a missionary is healthy. This usually indicates that the missionary will likely reach their goal in the long haul.  Likewise, we have seen that lack of progress almost always indicates problems. We will watch for this. 

1. The minimum standard we hold for the first six weeks, is for each fund-raiser to see $600/month pledged in that time.
2. We will do a second check at 10-12 weeks for those that had fallen short of the minimum standard. $1000/month pledged in fund-raising is our minimum expectation for the second check (at ten weeks).
   

Action Steps for Missed Thresholds

If a missionary is not meeting the minimum standard at 6 weeks out from training

1. Reliant will send an email to the missionary, coach, supervisor, and vertical to assess the situation. The goal is to help the missionary get back on track.
2. Another check will be done at 10-12 weeks to see if the situation has improved and if support raising is exceeding the minimum standards.
3. If we don’t see progress that matches those minimum expectations at our next check, we will evaluate what steps are necessary for seeing change happen.
