Only God
RREACH’s first operational value is “Only God.” One way we recognize and live our dependence on Him is by beginning, covering and ending every aspect of ministry in prayer, with thanksgiving.
Dr. Richard says, “Prayer precedes ministry,” and as the Lord continues to open doors for his ministry, we realize afresh the need for prayer.
Please take a moment to pray and praise over the updates on this page, featuring a daily prayer calendar at the beginning of each month. Also let us know how we can pray for you!

Mobilizing Mobilizers | March 11, 2016
Dear praying friends,
The road to the GProCongress is not easy, but God is good, faithful and all-powerful, and we can see Him answering prayer daily. Thank you for praying. Twenty-five first-rate leaders of nine SE Asian nations who met with Dr. Ramesh Richard on his last trip have begun implementing plans to mobilize more than 1,000 delegates. Dr. Richard also met with leaders from highly influential believing communities in two other nearby countries. We’re praying for each to send 500 delegates.
Please ask God for clear direction as Dr. Richard considers trips to the Middle East and South America in the next month. Pray for the right people to be available to meet with him and for best stewardship of time, resources, physical health and relationship in the midst of numerous opportunities and demands.
Thank you for continuing to remember Dr. Richard’s family in prayer. Intercede for the Lord Jesus’ protection and peace, and praise Him for His infinite blessings.

Praise and pray for divine connections and many registrations | February 29, 2016
Dear praying friends,
Thank you for holding Dr. Richard up during this final stretch to the Global Proclamation Congress. The opposition he faces is constant and comes on all fronts, but the Holy Spirit’s protection and guidance are even more constant, powerful and always/everywhere-present. Praise Him!
Dr. Richard’s vision-casting meeting with 9 of the 10 countries of ASEAN leaders last week, put together in two weeks, was well-attended—a direct answer to prayer. It looked like one key country would not be represented, but God brought in a leader from that nation just two hours before the meeting. Please pray that this session will translate into a surge of registrations. Dr. Richard also spent the weekend in a neighboring region where the Church is thriving quietly but exponentially. Pray for a strongly positive response, and for God to clear the way for many pastoral trainers from this area to attend.
Connections for the third stop on Dr. Richard’s trip are coming together after a great deal of prayer and perseverance. We thank the Lord Jesus! Please ask Him to bring the right people together at the right time(s), to give Dr. Richard wisdom as he communicates, and to spur a robust delegation for the GProCongress. We praise Him for how He is moving all of us and the Congress forward for His honor and joy.

Prayer priority: right and greatest number of GProCongress delegates | February 24, 2016
Dear praying friends,
Dr. Ramesh Richard, the “Vagabondslave,” is on the road again—and primarily will be for the next three months—recruiting delegates for the GProCongress. We thank God for how He has protected and provided for Dr. Richard personally during the GProCongress season.
Dr. Richard particularly requests prayer for the right and greatest number of delegates to the Congress. Please pray for:
up to 5,000 of the right delegates representing 200 countries and every aspect of pastoral training
favor as Dr. Richard casts the vision during several special opportunities God has opened on his current trip
good results from prior and ongoing recruitment efforts
a smooth registration process for each delegate
protection and financial provision for many coming from financially and/or politically troubled situations
We praise God for the privilege to know Him through the Lord Jesus Christ, to proclaim Him, and to work toward more and better proclamation for the very best of many, everywhere.

Sneak peek inside GProCongress venue; pray it full! | February 10, 2016
Dear praying friends,
We can’t thank you enough for your prayers for Dr. Richard and the GProCongress team. Please remember them as most of the team meets on-site in Bangkok this week and others continue their labors in the critical areas of registration, follow-up, program management, coach procurement, and funding.

We also ask your intercession as we seek to bring to the Congress substantive numbers of delegates who serve in troubled regions and under impoverished conditions. Pray for God to clear political and social barriers and to provide abundantly for these faithful men and women who deeply desire to come. Please also pray for His provision for RREACH, as we have committed to pay for all hotel, food, venue and internal transportation for every attendee.
GPA Thailand Part 2 is scheduled for the end of this week. Dr. Richard hopes to be with them one evening. Pray for their connecting, uniting and strengthening and for good fruit from their better proclamation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
