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. |
