Bless(ed) Beyond, RREACH’s theme for 2021, carried us through a distressed and distressing year. God enabled, established and enlarged this work of ministry (cf. Psalm 90:17, our verse for 2021).

Please receive  this brief and private preview of our 2021 activities with joy. The map shows what Only God amazingly accomplished through RREACH’s efforts in 136 countries last year. Watch for the full 2021 Year in Review document coming soon.

Only by God’s help, with His favor, and for His glory!

Using Dr. Richard’s articles and books, RREACH created 16 Bible reading plans, which were completed by subscribers more than 23,000 times in 2021.

PRAYERREACH—countries prayed for

RREACH prioritizes prayer—personally and corporately, and also in facilitating of others’ prayer with us and for us. In a reflection of our core operational value of “Only God,” we proclaim our dependence upon and trust in Him through a commitment to prayer. During weekly PRAYERREACH calls, attendees prayed for 133 countries in 2021, calling for God’s intervention in COVID-related and other difficulties.
