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!

Prayer Updates

GProCongress registration update | January 25, 2016

Dear praying friends,

Dr. Richard traveled to Taiwan early last week for a number of GProCongress vision-casting meetings. God continues to answer prayer for opportunities to introduce the GProCongress to Christian leaders, often through the thoughtful recommendations of Dr. Richard’s global connections. Please ask the Lord for strong participation among pastoral trainers from around the world toward this Church Health movement.

Early registration for the GProCongress ended January 15. We have 1,600 initial registrations from 90 countries. While a very good response, much has to be done to translate the registrations into full payments. Pray for the highest number and right kind of delegates—up to 5,000 from 200 countries. We trust God and request intercession for the ongoing, critical work of recruiting Congress delegates. The Lord willing, Dr. Richard will visit a pivotal yet difficult region on this trip. Pray for discernment and favor, and for God to make a way for pastoral trainers in this area to be well represented at the Congress.

Thank you!

Powerful, joyful and useful start to 2016 | January 6, 2016

Dear praying friends,

New Year’s greetings to you! Dr. Ramesh Richard had a powerful, joyful and useful start to 2016 with over 900 Indian missionaries characterized by Vision, Faith and Sacrifice. They were gathered for the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Indian Evangelical Mission in Hyderabad, India. He especially rejoiced in this opportunity because his 92-year-old dad, John Richard, was part of the founding team of this “indigenous” mission organization 50 years ago.

Three, quick GProCongress vision-casting sessions in three mega-cities over three days topped off the end-and-beginning-of-the-year trip to his birthland. Thank you for praying as he traveled and ministered to rather key audiences, and even large crowds.

Dr. Richard also deeply appreciates your prayer for the GProCongress. God is granting great progress toward this global and historic event for the Faith, and yet opposition is very real and from many directions. We ask your fervent prayer for His total protection over the entire project, and over the following areas in specific:

GProCongress team members and their families

Up to 5,000 of the right pastoral trainers registering—early registration ends January 15th

Pastoral trainers in difficult areas raising travel and registration funds

Compelling program with the right 185 speakers/presenters

Continued generous giving to meet GProCongress needs

Development and implementation of a robust Congress follow-up team and action plan

Thank you for praying; glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! | December 30, 2015

Dear praying friends,

Because RREACH has sent a variety of emails out lately, we did not send you a specific prayer update and trusted you would pray concerning the contents of those other emails. As we draw to the end of the year, however, we want to specially thank you. Our great God has revealed more of Himself, sustained us through difficulty, and poured out immeasurable blessing because you prayed. And that is just what we have seen and experienced (look for our 2015 Year in Review next month). He is doing countless and immeasurable other things around the globe because you pray for Dr. Ramesh Richard and RREACH. Thank you! Praise be to God!

It is a privilege to be yoked together with you, dear brothers and sisters. We invite you to crown 2015 and inaugurate 2016 with us (Dr. Richard on a three day/three city/three Congress Vision event stretch in India) by trusting completely in, praying without ceasing for, and praising God for His total protection and global provision. To the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ and for the very best of many everywhere.

GProCongress praises; Prayers for fruit | December 16, 2015

Dear praying friends,

We want to praise God for answering prayer for GProCongress financial resources. We thank Him for every person who has given of precious resources to help provide for this groundbreaking event. Daily we hear from pastors and pastoral trainers around the world excited about how the Congress will connect dots that have never before been connected in the history of Christ’s Church. Please pray for the Lord Jesus to be glorified through every aspect of Congress preparation, execution, and four-year follow-through.

Dr. Richard spoke at pre-evangelistic events in Panama City, Panama and in Greenville, SC, over the last couple of weekends. Many indicated positive response to trusting the Lord Jesus or to learning more about Him. Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to work in the hearts of every attendee. Pray for local believers to continue the good witness among them. Thank you!

God's goodness in Panama; GProCongress preparation | December 8, 2015

Dear praying friends,

RREACH is praising God for His unfailing goodness. Dr. Richard recently returned from a trip to Panama that included a pastors conference, pre-evangelistic event, GProCongress vision-casting event, RREACH Board meeting, and Sunday morning church service. Dallas GPA grads from Panama did a great job of coordinating everything, and God blessed the pre-evangelistic event with 15 expressing a decision for the Lord Jesus Christ and many more expressing interest in learning more.

GProCongress preparation continues at warp speed. Please pray for the team to wisely balance demands and for God’s continuing encouragement and strengthening of them. Also remember the following key areas:

up to 5,000 registrants

the right 185 speakers/presenters with strong follow-up

timely funding
