...
All Reliant employed missionaries are designated with a fundraising status. (This status appears on Staffnet).
Initial MTD
The first phase of employment with Reliant that focuses entirely on the MTD process until the ministry is funded at 100% current. For their success, standard ministry job responsibilities are generally not permitted during this phase in order to focus the Reliant missionary completely on the support raising process. Completed with Release to Assignment.
Sustaining MTD
(Formerly “released”) The most common status for Reliant missionaries once they have completed their initial goal. This status assumes that the primary job description of the Reliant missionary or pastor is focused on their local ministry but that they are retaining a regular percentage of time (typically no less than 10%) for ongoing MTD responsibilities.
Active MTD
Status for missionaries who are executing an established MTD plan. This is common for full-time missionaries who are stepping out of local ministry responsibilities to return to significant MTD responsibilities. Some new Reliant staff who have been given a special exception to the Initial MTD status will be placed directly into Active MTD status.

MTD Coaching
Missionaries involved in the Initial MTD process are assigned an MTD coach. The coach is responsible for supervising and guiding an employee through the MTD process. Coaches must have completed MTD training themselves and are assigned by local churches and confirmed with Reliant. In the event the local church or ministry does not have a suitable MTD coach, Reliant will provide one from another location until coaches can be trained in the current location.

Sustaining MTD
After missionaries have completed the initial support raising phase and exceeded their support goal, they must continue to raise support as part of their normal job responsibilities. A general rule of thumb is for employees to spend 10% of their employed hours per week on MTD, i.e. four hours per week of a 40-hour work week. Those with more donors should spend more time. In addition to the regular prayer letter and reporting requirements, examples of what this time would consist of are:
