We need to acknowledge that we are accepting very high risks with our international locations. (We need to write out our definitions of what we are willing to risk and how we are deciding what makes a location in the level of risk below) Reliant's risk levels are meant to provide definition to the various levels of threat that Reliant perceives is present at various international locations. Reliant will work with the Field Leader and any approved third party decision makers (sending network, sending church, etc) to gauge threats, and then ultimately decide on the appropriate risk level.

Reliant's Risk Levels

Reliant Risk Tolerance
Every individual and organization has different tolerances for risk. One philosophy is not better than another, but knowing (and clearly defining) the risk tolerance (philosophy) is of great importance. With that in mind, Reliant's leadership has worked to clearly define Reliant's organizational tolerance for risk. Our tolerance for risk flows from our theology of risk. In general, Reliant believes that for the Christian, God has removed the ultimate risk by securing our eternal status before God the Father. And with the ultimate risk removed, the Christian is empowered to take Godly risks for the sake of God's Mission. For more information, please refer to Reliant's official Theology of Risk Statement.
It is our hope that Reliant's organizational risk tolerance will empower Reliant missionaries to take Godly risks for the sake of His mission. However, not every risk is wise or even possible for Reliant to facilitate. Please refer to the following chart to get a detailed look at Reliant's tolerance for risk in various situations.

Threshold-which of these risk tolerances pushes you into the risk level: all of them, one of them, etc. Having taken all of these risk factors into consideration and evaluated we created this threat level for your location (country/city).
These risk levels will then determine what path the location needs to take with what we require verses what we recommend based on the threat level. The following pages explain areas that could be divided into different actions/requirements based on the threat level.

Reliant's risk tolerance chart will define final risk levels for the various locations in which Reliant has team members or new locations Reliant partners wish to send teams. Once a risk level has been finalized, Reliant will work with the Field Leader and any approved third-party decision makers to begin appropriate crisis preparation based on the threat level. For more details on how Reliant will work with the team in crisis preparation, please refer to the Crisis Preparation section in the international crisis management field manual.
