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!

God’s Total Protection and Global Provision | July 23, 2015
Dear praying friends,
It’s been a little over a year since we specifically began asking God for Total Protection and Global Provision concerning the GProCongress. He has indeed protected and provided through this time, to the praise of His glory. Some specific areas of thanks:
A fine Core team
An outstanding venue, the Impact Center, at an excellent price
Health and safety during increased responsibility and travels
The right funding at the right time
Please continue to intercede for Total Protection and Global Provision especially in mobilizing delegates, procuring speakers and meeting the financial requirements of executing an event of this size and caliber. Pray for all to be done wisely, well, and without delay. Thank you!

“Year of the GProCongress” | July 17, 2015
Dear praying friends,
The Dallas GPA typically creates the busiest season for Dr. Richard and RREACH, but in this “Year of the GProCongress,” the snowball of preparations is rolling ever-faster and larger along the countdown to Bangkok, now only 11 months away. Dr. Richard has had major meetings with the Congress Core team in Dallas and in Colorado this week. Would you please pray specifically over these team members as they take on impossible tasks believing God is bringing this vision to reality?

GProCongress core team to meet; 2015 Dallas GPA complete | July 9, 2015
Dear praying friends,
The GProCongress core team is to gather in Dallas for several days of planning next week. Casting vision, sourcing key speakers, mobilizing attendees, and developing financial support are primary undertakings. Please ask the Lord for increased clarity, strength, unity and joy for all involved as the depth, breadth and speed of preparations increase.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and many kinds of support during the demanding but worthwhile 2015 Dallas GPA. God blessed greatly. Twenty-six fine young pastoral leaders have graduated and returned to their 26 different countries better connected, united and strengthened to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ. Please intercede for total protection and global provision for all 248 grads from the 10 Dallas GPAs held since 2005 as they serve.
Dr. Richard’s Media Outreach messages, distributed online and through social media, continue to spur people to think about the Lord Jesus Christ in new ways. Please remember to pray for hearers to place their faith in Him.
Finally, lift up Dr. Richard’s and Bonnie’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. We praise God for how He has sustained them and ask His ongoing favor on them.

Urgent prayer for Christians in the Middle East | June 17, 2015
Dear praying friends,
On the first day of Ramadan one year ago, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, ISIS, officially began its campaign of terror. The atrocities they have committed, primarily against followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, have dominated news reports. Many in the Middle East expect the group to escalate violence during Ramadan, June 17 – July 17, 2015, in celebration of their one-year anniversary.
This morning, the 2015 class of Dallas GPA delegates from 26 different countries gathered around Pastor AA, their brother from Syria, to cry out to the Lord about the imminent threat. Dr. Richard wishes to ask all of us, also, to pray urgently and fervently. Please pray
That God will give His people the strength to endure and be at peace.
That those being persecuted will deepen in faith and love, and be glorious witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ.
For God’s miraculous deliverance
Of the persecuted from earthly evil, for the glory of His name.
Of the persecutors, from heart evil, that they may be transformed to glorify Jesus' name.
