The Transfer process includes and assessment and a "Hiring Decision" between Reliant and the leadership of the international ministry. That decision may result in identifying areas in which the missionary needs to develop before being invited to this new role. Only after the hiring decision has resulted in a New Ministry Offer is made is the missionary free to announce a change and officially raise funds for the new ministry. For these reasons, we encourage current missionaries to communicate wisely to friends, family and ministry partners. Helpful language includes comments like: "I believe God is calling me and I've started a discernment process with my leadership." "I hope to be released to an international assignment." "Our hope and dream is to minister internationally and we are preparing ourselves for that." "We hope you will continue supporting us if we are released to our new ministry."
