As you look to onboard new team members with Reliant, below is an overview of our application process and timeline.



UI Steps
sizesmall
UI Step

Application and Development Phase (2-4 months)

UI Expand
titleReliant Application

A 3-part application including general information, a ministry readiness assessment, and a moral conduct/emotional health questionnaire

UI Expand
titleInternational Missionary Personnel Consultant (IMPC) Testing

Applicants complete a set of online assessments that is reviewed by a clinical psychologist. Reliant and the applicant are provided with an initial summary, which the applicant will debrief in an interview with one of IMPC licensed counseling professionals. A final report is provided to Reliant with a final recommendation for placement and development opportunities.

UI Expand
titlePersonal Development Plan

In conjunction with the applicant's local ministry leadership, Reliant will provide a personal development plan to work on prior to launch. In some cases, certain steps will need to be completed before attending Reliant's training.


UI Step

Initial Ministry Team Development (4-12 months)

UI Expand
titleReliant Training

This is a 3-day virtual training (2 days cover support-raising and 1 day covers international-specific topics). Trainees will also have around 10 hours of pre-work to complete before attending.

UI Expand
titleCoaching

All workers will be offered a support-raising coach to encourage them throughout their initial MTD phase. Coaches will help establish goals based on your desired launch timeline. Coaching may be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on the amount of time the individual is spending on support-raising. 

UI Expand
titleRelease to Assignment
Info
This page concerns release to assignment for international missionaries. If you're a U.S. missionary, see Release to Assignment.

Your primary job when you are on-boarded with Reliant is to raise the funds needed for your ministry. This means that you will likely need to step back from some of your local ministry responsibilities in order to concentrate on developing your ministry team. We use the term "Release to Assignment" to indicate that you have finished your initial Ministry Team Development responsibilities and are ready to enter your ministry role. Or in other words, you get to purchase your plane tickets and launch!

...

Long-Term Goers

These are workers who are headed to the field for 2 or more years and have a monthly support goal.

 

To be released to assignment, you must meet 100% of your recurring monthly goal and have an account balance that is 3x your monthly goal.

Fixed-term workers should have 100% of their one-time goal through received or promised gifts.

UI Expand
titleEmployment

Usually people remain as Associate volunteers during the majority of initial MTD, so that their account balance can build up for launch expenses. However, some workers may need to begin receiving a small paycheck so that they can devote more hoers to MTD. Once you reach 25% of your monthly recurring goal, we can hire you at part-time and determine the right amount of salary to provide for your needs while still building up the needed funds in your account. Some workers choose to ask for large one-time gifts up front to sustain them during the support-raising season.


UI Step

Field Preparation (1 month)

UI Expand
titleCrisis Management

When a new worker reaches approximately 50% of their support goal, they will be enrolled in our Crisis Management course through LEARN and asked to begin working on a crisis management checklist and creating contingency plans.

All workers will also be required to have some level of security training:

Basic Threat Level: Online course through Concilium

Moderate/High Threat Level: In-person security training through Concilium or CIT.

UI Expand
titleCross-Cultural Training

All workers should receive some level of cross-cultural training. This is usually a one-month in-person training and may also include some language acquisition training based on field requirements. You should plan to attend toward the end of your initial support-raising phase, usually when you are between 80-100% of your goal.

See Pre-field Cross-Cultural Training for details.

100% of your monthly support goal. This means all of your partners have signed up. We won't count gifts that have just been promised.

UI Step

At least 3x your monthly support goal accumulated in the MTD account they are responsible to maintain OR you have raised the pre-launch goal on your Support Goal Worksheet. This ensures you have enough to launch to your destination, set-up a new home overseas, and get back to the US if needed!
