Employed missionaries that have a counseling practice or coaching practice that is part of their Reliant ministry role and for which revenue is generated are obligated to submit all revenue received from their services rendered to Reliant. All revenue of this nature will be assessed an admin fee based on Reliant's normal admin fee structure (in most cases a 12% admin fee will be applied, however minimum admin fees are applicable). Checks and other methods of payment must be made payable to "Reliant" and must be clearly labeled/identified as counseling/coaching revenue. A Counselor Profile profile phone interview must be completed to initiate a Counselor/Coaching arrangement with Reliant. The phone interview will include the creation of a shared Counselor Profile document outlining the pricing structure that the missionary will use for their counseling/coaching practice. This document will be reviewed annually or as needed when changes to the Reliant Missionary's counseling/coaching practice pricing structure are made. Please contact Reliant to set-up a Counselor Profile phone interview and begin this process.

( Monthly log submission is required unless submitting logs on an even more frequent basis. ) Professional Revenue Logs revenue logs may be emailed to counselingrec@reliant.org. 

Reliant does not issue receipts to clients for professional services that were rendered by Reliant missionaries. If a client requests a receipt, the Reliant missionary may create their own receipt to provide to the client. Payments by clients for professional services are not eligible for a tax-deduction benefit, as the person received a service in exchange for the money they paid.

Ministry expenses related to a counseling or coaching practice may be eligible for reimbursement, based on Reliant's Accountable Reimbursement Plan guidelines. Please see the Licensed Counselors section in the Reimbursement Handbook.
