Each time a particular situation comes up that you're not sure how to handle, the RMI Manual is where you, as the LMF should come to search for. Here, we hope you will find, the *procedure, protocol, principles, and process to give you the foundation to use for your LMF. If you don't find it here, please help us build the RMI Manual by asking. This way, we can work with you on the particular situation and then set up the procedure, protocol, principles, and process for all the LMFs, now and those we are trusting will come.
We first SSG, which is confirmed when it's clearly “easy and light” and it takes into account "every nation, tribe, people, and language..." yet always emphasizing that each LMF needs to "abide, remain joined and connected to Him" so that we are assured you, your LMF and RMI will "bear much fruit."
*Procedure: An established or official way of doing something.
Protocol: A system of directions to know how things are done.
Principles: Using His Word as a foundation for what we do.
Process: How do we do it - often a list of steps.
Consistency is KEY to moving as One. For example, we ask each Ministry and even our IOU Students to always use the same 💝 GIVE—the same heart that's wrapped as a present and the word GIVE rather than donate. This and everything we do is based on a promise and/or a principle from God's Word.
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
“How can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
NEVER start from scratch. Make a copy of a form, a document, anything and everything, which means you'll see what components need to be part of what you're doing.
Copy and paste. To cut down on typos, always copy and paste such titles.
*RMIOUFT is where we're field training, testing and agreeing on websites to keep them consistent.
We also have an RMI Manual that we are constantly updating with new valuable information.
Domains
Any decision regarding purchasing and pointing domains cannot be made without permission from the Administration.
When choosing a domain remember to choose .com if available, if not available use .NET, then .ORG
Website Access
There are Roles that give you permission to access our websites. If you have content for a website, especially IOU as a student, and you can't get onto this or any other page, comment below on the page to let the admin know what you need added.
When there is a large purchase, anything out of the ordinary, let the team know what it is for. RMI has been robbed and embezzled so many times we can't count them all. So we are trusting that you will watch and be careful and let us know what's going on when it's an unusually large debit card purchase, anything out of the ordinary that we might question or become concerned about.
*Note: Sometimes the order can take a long time to fill (such as in what prompted this to be added to the RMI Manual) a full month passed before the debit card was charged.
RRR Office (Ministering Office)
When anyone writes to ask questions, RMI’s policy is NOT to answer them in the email in RRR Office, but instead, we use it to "minister to the masses" and post it on our EW blog or IOU blog. After posting it, we email them the link.
“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.”
Marriage Encouragement Questionnaire (MEQ)
When an MEQ comes into the office the following steps must be taken:
- Read through the MEQ and choose a name for the MEQ, for example: "It Seems Hopeless in US" or "Depressed in SA"
- Also make sure there is nothing indiscreet, vulgar, or revealing in what she wrote.
- Copy the MEQ from the "country" field until the last field, and make sure where she consented to posting it. It will be one of three options: Blog, IOU, or not all.
- Make a duplicate of the previous MEQ on the site she consented to posting. Use Beaver Builder so you are sure to have any latest changes that may have been made.
- Paste it the MEQ below the MM (Marriage Minister) instructions and make sure there is nothing that should not be there (her surname, her email address, and if she only English, the language can be taken off as well).
- Get rid of all the pictures and emojis, it messes up the coding.
- In the office, copy the email address of the lady who submitted the MEQ and add it to the "reply to".
- Select the "Marriage Evaluation" snippet and add the post link and her name in the fields provided.
- Make sure what RMIOU option she chose and delete what is not applicable in the snippet.
- Before you send the Evaluation, go to the Student Body page and add a 3-Cord marriage ministers in the BCC field. If she added any special concerns, add at least one MM student who can encourage her with her concern.
While you wait, we have put together this EW "ENCOURAGEMENT VAULT" https://hopeatlast.com/ev/—a page of many resources to help you along your journey to heal and recover while you begin your Restoration Journey.
- Based on how she answered the question "Are you interested in learning how you can help other women who are in marriage crisis as a Marriage Minister ? CLICK on the IMAGE that describes you right now.", add one of the following 3 to her email:
1)"No, I am not in the position to help anyone at the moment."
2) "Yes, maybe in the future. Please send me the information to pray about it.."
"Yes, maybe in the future. Please send me the information to pray about it.." So here's the information about becoming a Marriage Minister https://rmiou.com/mm/ to learn how He plans to restore your marriage after using you to help encourage someone else to be restored. Also, C1 DAY 26 to Read about Melanie and Listen ☊ to Sowing & Reaping, knowing you are probably hoping for your husband to have a change of heart, so maybe as you pray it, He'll give you a change of heart as well and look into becoming a Marriage Minister https://rmiou.com/mm/ to learn how He plans to restore your marriage after using you to help encourage someone else to be restored.
3) "Yes, I sense this is why this crisis happened to me,"
We also noticed you said,
"Yes, I sense this is why this crisis happened to me," and that you've enrolled in IOU as an MM.
- Schedule the post to be sent in 3 days to give the marriage students time to comment on her Marriage Evaluation Questionnaire.
- Lastly, if she refrained from having her MEQ posting at all, reply with the following:
Dear NAME.
As you said, you prefer to do your own research, you should have been automatically rerouted to our Evaluation page. If not, here is the link for you to start your research:
For more encouragement please visit our blog daily:
"The LORD appeared to him [you] from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness." J313
Then go back to adding the answer to one of the three options she would have answered for: "Are you interested in learning how you can help other women who are in marriage crisis as a Marriage Minister ? CLICK on the IMAGE that describes you right now."
WSP = Whatsapp
Make sure that you periodically go through your WSP messages and make sure they are all acknowledged with emojis and that nothing was overlooked.
“so that no advantage would be taken of us by the enemy, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”
Telegram is much more secure than WhatsApp and Erin suggested we move over to Telegram.
Please set up your Telegram app with your BNN. An easy way may be as we use the WSP group, to start a similar one on Telegram, once everyone has joined, we close the the one on WSP.
Choosing Between Telegram Group and Channel: The group fosters community interaction, while the channel serves as a platform for broadcasting important updates.
Make sure that you periodically go through your Telegram messages and make sure they are all acknowledged with emojis and that nothing was overlooked.
“so that no advantage would be taken of us by the enemy, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”
DT = DonorTools
When anyone donates through PayPal on our websites, Donor Tools does everything for us.
However, when we receive a donation through another source like Wise, Zelle, or checks sent to our POB are deposited into Bank of America, we must record that donation manually in our Donor Tools application in order that they, too, receive an email with the thank you and so they know we have received their donation.
**We are actively looking for new Payment Platforms so that everyone is able to easily tithe or give their offering everywhere around the world. If you know about any platforms you or your friends or family use, set it up to see if it's a Payment Platform you can use for your ministry and others may also be able to use by leaving a comment on Payment Platform.
If PayPal poses difficulties for certain ministries do NOT LEAD with that payment platform. Move it to the bottom option and move the most successful one to the primary.
REMEMBER we need to protect His sheep and lambs from the enemy’s scheme to rob them of His blessings and from stealing them from us so they aren’t able to continue to develop their relationship with Him.
Recurring Payment
Periodically the bookkeeper gets a message from PayPal that a "We couldn't process your recurring payment." This is often due to there not being sufficient funds in the donor's account. Since this is not something we can fix from our side, it is our responsibility to reach out to the donor to make sure they are safe from the devourer. We all understand the benefits of tithing but also the dangers, therefore, it is our responsibility to reach out.
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts." https://biblehub.com/malachi/3-11.htm
These are the steps we take. *Due to security reasons, we are not able to provide all the links, but it is available in the PayPal DTI:
1) Find the donor on the DonorTools spreadsheet and mark her name with a light red color.
2) Look for alternative emails. It may be that she uses a different email, so to increase the success of you reaching out to her, collect all her known email addresses. Also, search our main offices like the RRR@ office for alternative emails.
3) Contact her using the following snippet which you can modify for the situation:
Hello Name,
We see your PayPal couldn't process your recurring payment. We just want to make sure that you are protected from the devourer.
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts."
If you want to discontinue recurring payments, here's some information:

If we can help you in any other way, if you need more information, please reply and let us know.
Bless you!

WordPress Website Check:
Please ensure that all comments are attended to within 72 hours. When the webmaster checks the sites, this is the checklist that is used:
-Check Plugins to make sure they are all up to date.
-Wordfence Firewall and Scan to make sure it is all 100%
-View History to check if ADM and/or LMF Owner were there the previous day
-Check the comments to make sure that nothing older than one day is in the unapproved comments.
-Any messages that pop up that need attention.
-View the Site to make sure it works
LMF and Team member Invoices
“Overpayment requests on invoices that are unwarranted and unearned must be returned and paid along with the appropriate fine that will be attached.”
Google Drive
There are some rules that you need to adhere to when working in Google Documents:
1. Make sure that the document is shared with the relevant role players.
2. Always make sure the main office is the owner. For example RRR@rmiew.com.
3. Bridge the document, it should not be an island on its own. It should bridge to a main document and bridge back from the main document.
4. The information of the people that will work in that document should be at the top in a table.
5. Add each document such as a DTI to your PDO so in the likelihood you need help, we have a list of all you’re connected to and working on.
Logos
We have an amazing design team, RADD, who designs our logos for consistency and keeping the RMI brand flowing. Logos designed by RADD are the only logos permitted on LMF websites and also must comply with what logos are used where. For example, creativity and individuality can be expressed on the login registration page but not used as the main theme logo (that would show up when anyone is sharing a link as a text or social media. When in doubt, discuss it with your Husband and then make sure (by commenting on a webpage) if you are unsure if it's permitted to alert the Webmaster Team.
Comments
Allow for comments on ALL pages.
All comments must be manually approved, except for Editor and Administrator Level.
Spiritual Feeding
As Ministers/Shepherds, it's vital that His flock you've been entrusted and agreed to spiritual feed HAVE fresh grain and water, and their needs are being tended to—BEFORE dawn. Use works@home and, of course, discuss it with your Husband, your Maker.
- Each morning, seven days a week, you (or assign) must check your website’s dashboard to see an overview of everything— especially the variety of spiritual meals so they’re as varied and interesting as the food you prepare at home or what you would hope to see at a popular restaurant.
- Post a FRESH, real, and raw blog because sheep need fresh grain.
- Reply to comments because sheep need tending to.
- Use GOD's word often as sheep need fresh water.
- Lead your sheep to different fields (connect to other fields/websites).
- This includes the many lessons/courses (hopefully translated into your own language or using the many English websites and blogs—but when using these, you MUST provide guidance by way of an audio blog or heartfelt message from you as their Shepherd (this of course, would not be required for LMF Missionaries).
Consequences
★★★★★ Note, too, that there are consequences, not just blessings when we are entrusting an LMF to a Minister or Ministry Team. When we, unfortunately, see they've not produced fruits, and we've witnessed neglected fields that need to be tidied and tended after we have lovely reminded the LMF of the neglect or delayed caring for what has been entrusted to them, then we begin by removing 10% portions and investing it back into the Seeds—to pay to the ones who ultimately will have to deal with the clean up. After the third reduction, the LMF will transfer back to RMI. Before this policy, we simply encouraged, waited, and hoped for improvements, but without the penalty, we ultimately took back three key ministries.
Ministry Gmail Offices
Once you reach a certain level in RMIOU, we assign a Ministry Gmail Office to you.
If you are only here for a Reason and a Season, we can forward any emails that come to you automatically to a provided forwarding address. If you do not wish to receive any emails, your email address will be deleted.
Charitable Contribution Deductions
Some ladies may ask if it is possible to deduct the tithes they make to RMI (a non-profit entity) from their taxes (considered donations). This is different in each country since the tax laws are different in each country therefore the lady must inform herself about the laws of the country where she resides to see if it is possible for taxes to be deducted or not.
