titleWHO IS RELIANT

This is the part where you will explain who Reliant is and what they do for you as an international worker. You will also introduce any other ministry organizations you're partnering with.

  • "To be a part of this mission involves partnership. Our church/ministry is involved in the <name> church network, whose mission is to <mission>. Include how your ministry meets the need in the area where you will be going, and maybe a story of someone whose life was changed by being a part of your community."

  • "Reliant is the sending organization that I will be working for. Reliant partners with missional churches and gospel-centered non-profits by mobilizing support-based workers for the Great Commission." (You can read this directly from your slide.)

  • YOU MUST SAY THE FOLLOWING: "Reliant is a registered 501(c)3 and is a part of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability." 

    • Explain what this means in simple terms. For example, "Basically, all this means is that while we are out making disciples/reaching _____, Reliant is behind us acting as my employer. They act as my HR department, and they are helping make the things we do at <church> possible." If the person you're sharing with has any further questions about who Reliant is or what we do, you will give them a chance shortly to ask those questions.
    Share a bit about your network. 
    • "Our <organization/church> is… <Share who your church/organization is and what they do> <Include mission/vision, how your church meets the need in your area, and maybe a story of someone whose life was changed by being a part of your community>"

titleYOUR ROLE(S)

Sure, people know that you're a cross-cultural worker, but what will you be doing specifically in that process?

  • "I’m often asked what am I going to be doing specifically in <location>." Share about your specific roles with the church/ministry.
    • Ex. "During my time there, I will be working to share with those who don’t know Christ and building Christians up in their walk with the Lord. I will also be studying <language>. Along with that, I will help teach English classes and Bible studies, build discipleship relationships, and be trained in overseas missions."
    •  Communicate general activities and ministry responsibilities. Possibly use a short story to help communicate the impact your role can have.
