Make More Ministry Happen! Support-Raising Simplified. Mission Accelerated. Connect with our pages for updates.

RELIANT is a full service mission agency that partners with missional churches and nonprofits to mobilize local missionaries. Especially good for ministry donors who give regularly towards a missionary or church planter. Many churches can't survive on a traditional model where members support a single pastor. Today, churches who reach out in diverse mission fields like public university campuses o

r inner cities, but will need the support of generous Christians to support their missionary staff. Reliant is the link that helps make this happen. We provide detailed missionary assessment, experienced training and coaching for fundraising, health and insurances protection, and a strong accountable foundation that donors can trust as they support local outreach work. Most of all, everything we do is further the good news of Jesus Christ.

Support-based ministry doesn’t just fund your work; it shapes your life.

Here are 3 ways it forms you:

➡️ It stretches your dependence on God and others (James 1:2–3).

➡️ It builds real-world ministry skills that transfer anywhere.

➡️ It turns fundraising into ministry, inviting others into God’s work.

This isn’t just a funding model. It’s formation.
