- Employment and Benefits - We will be the direct employer of the Goer, providing a steady paycheck, health insurance, retirement savings, and HR resources.
- Giving Platform and Donor Care - Reliant provides a safe and secure giving platform that your donors can use with confidence and peace of mind. We assist donors personally who need help with the giving process. We also provide Goers with training and coaching specific to the support-raising process.
- Connect Goers to Resources - While the needs of International workers are great, there are also a wide array of resources to help and support them through their journey. We can help the Goers and their leadership find the resources they need in areas like Cross-cultural training, Parenting TCKs, Crisis Management Planning, etc.
- Facilitate Healthy Sending and Supervision - We seek to create spaces of collaboration between sending and receiving partners, by inviting both into important conversations and decisions. We can also provide tools and resources to the sending church and field ministries to equip them in their roles.
Field Leadership
The on-the-ground field leadership is usually the leader of a team, organization, or local church that is physically present with the worker on the ground. They will have the best understanding of the local context and will have the most interaction with the Goer.

There are certainly times many situations where a Reliant Goer is either the leader of a team, or starting a work in a new location that is without local leadership. In these cases, we would look to the Sending Church to play an even greater role in the life of the Goer, especially in the area of member care. When that is not possible, Reliant may fill in gaps where needed. We never want our Goers . This may mean a stateside leader from your Sending Church, or Network, assumes the role of a supervisor. It may also look like putting together an Advisory Board of trusted individuals that can speak into your life and ministry. Reliant can help you figure out what that looks like in your unique situation. We never want field leaders to feel alone or be without proper support systems , especially if they are leading as they lead others. |

Every Reliant Goer should have some sort of connection to a church where they have attended before serving overseas, even if this church doesn't see itself as the "sending" church. Making an effort to maintain a connection with them while overseas and on Home Assignment will likely open up opportunities for deeper partnership. Reliant may request a "point-person" of contact, whether a pastor or mentor, so that we know who to involve stateside if a crisis were to arise on the field. We are also here to support and equip churches that have a desire to grow as a sending church. They may just need to know they are invited into that space! Check out the article by Upstream called, "A Healthy Posture Towards a Sending Church" for more on this topic. |

Even in cases where a supervisor does not speak English, we desire to connect with your field leadership and make a pathway for open and honest communication. We have translation services available for various forms and documents and can seek verbal translation services when needed. Additionally, we have several Reliant Office staff who are fluent in Spanish and have a working knowledge of other languages. |
