Reaching Souls' Constituency Mandates

These are the organizational constituents that we identified for Reaching Souls International.  We define constituent as anyone who has a stake in what we do - groups or organizations which effect or are affected by us.  The ministry has responsibilities to a wide range of individuals and constituencies.  We must meet or exceed our obligations and their expectations.

To our Lord:  We must listen and obey; model His ways, methods, character, and work to fulfill the Great Commission.

To donors (individuals, corporations, foundations, churches, and other organizations):  We must communicate our gratefulness for their gifts,  report regularly and fully regarding the use and status of their gifts, encourage their continuing involvement, and provide them with a strong return on their investment.

To our Board of Directors:  We must keep the Board informed regarding the operation and management of the ministry; seek its guidance; and follow its policies.  We must operate with integrity, efficiency, effectiveness, enthusiasm, focus, and a high level of commitment.

To our national missionaries:  We must provide support, training, prayer, encouragement, and the tools enabling them to do their job. 

To the IAM leadership:  We must provide leadership, training, and respond appropriately to their needs.    

To the pastors and evangelists we train:  They need our support, encouragement, commitment, quality training, and multiplication format.

To new believers:  We must provide Bibles, follow-up, opportunity for baptism, discipleship, and church membership with a Reaching Souls trained pastor.   

To the ministry staff:  We must treat each other with respect; set realistic and appropriate performance expectations, provide recognition of achievements; compensate appropriately; communicate openly and freely with one another; and provide a working environment that promotes work-related growth and development and that fosters employee health and well-being.  We must be committed to pray for them and provide leadership and vision.
