Procedure, Protocol, Principles, Process
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.
LMFs please STOP doing it yourself, He says, “Assign the work for others allowing them to make an income and it will mean improve quality of the product because you as the supervisor will be following behind looking over and checking the work done.”
LMFs, your job is to do one or more and record showing how. They do one and record to verify that you sign off to proceed. ALL students should be given the opportunity to look at the Opportunities posts. Yes, it’s easier to just use the same few to help or do it yourself; however, we cannot grow.
All ladies should be aware of this benefit for RMIOU students. Weekly blog posts to students list short descriptions linked to the main board. Embedded spreadsheet to drag up and down and color code with built-in columns for training needed and how much paid. Use
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
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.
- Look at her answer in the RMIOU field and select that part of the snippet to send to her, delete other RMIOU information.
- If she is interested in Zoom Orientation Meeting, keep the part of the snippet that asks her for suitable time, otherwise delete that part.
By finding us and filling out your Marriage Encouragement Questionnaire you have taken your first step in your Restoration Journey.
Please note: Should we read anything that will prevent GOD from restoring your marriage, we will contact you ASAP.
In the meantime, please take the next step in your Restoration Journey!

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.
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!

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.
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.
Allow for comments on ALL pages.
All comments must be manually approved, except for Editor and Administrator Level.
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).
★★★★★ 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.
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 therefore the donor must comply with the laws of the country to know if it is possible for taxes to be deducted or not.

"Delegating" the Key to Growth
Borrowed and revised from Workers@Home
How to designate who will do the job: I decide who the newest volunteer is who might be capable of doing the job. (Always begin at the bottom, the newest, least experienced, and work your way up.) Most of us start at the top and burn our best and busiest team members because it's easier, and we know it will get the job done. However, the consequences are burnout plus not helping your workforce grow. And when they leave, you have to do the task yourself.
Tasks in our ministry begin when a member or partner actively posts praise, especially commenting (showing compassion and may work well with others). Before that time, you spend far more energy getting them to do it and do it properly, only for them to leave.
UTrain2 is wise so that you ideally have two learning the task, taking turns and should one leave, you have another to "recruit" another worker. Ask your worker to find and train someone—who, most likely, you're unaware of. Just be sure you are informed.
I found the easiest way to delegate is each time you do something you need to do, or assign it for someone else to do, then (rather than grab a 3x5 card and write that task on it) create a calendar event.
- Decide how often the task needs to be done: daily, weekly, or monthly. (And if it is on a spreadsheet, like workers@home) highlight the row blue card for something daily, yellow if it’s weekly, and green if it's monthly.
- If you have team members or volunteers: determine who could do the task.
- Start at the newest person on the team then work your way up.
- I've named this ingenious principle the "Macy Principle" since she was the youngest of the 7 children— so I always began with Macy to give a new task to.
- If Macy weren't capable, then I'd consider Cooper and work my way up—rather than begin at the top and overwhelm the oldest (capable of doing just about everything) child.
- This method is ideal for work as well and what we ask our LMFs to follow.
- Determine when or what day of the week or month it needs to be done, and use blue for something daily, yellow if it’s weekly, and green if it's monthly.
