Prayer
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
Praying the New Year “in” | December 30, 2014
Dear praying friends,
Dr. Richard sends New Years greetings from India, where he is a keynote speaker for the University of Evangelical Students of India’s 60th jubilee gatherings. In addition to presenting devotions, the Lord willing, he will speak at the Watch Night service of covenant and communion. Please pray for this to be a meaningful time. Also pray for the Lord’s hand to be on him during upcoming events and meetings—both scheduled and impromptu.
The GProCongress team continues to move forward toward the 2016 global gathering of pastoral trainers. Ask the Lord for excellence in execution of every detail and resolution of the hurdles that inevitably come with planning an event of this scope. And don’t forget to pray for total protection and global provision.
“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” Psalm 96: 1-3

Past, present, promised—pray! | December 26, 2014
Dear praying friends,
This is a season of anniversaries for Dr. Richard. We all have just observed the anniversary of Christ’s incarnation. Dr. Richard also marked his 40th year in the United States (Dec. 21), Bonnie’s and his 38th year of marriage (Dec. 27), and has been invited to be a keynote speaker for the Union of Evangelical Students of India’s 60th anniversary conference, just days away. We thank God for His eternal goodness.
As Dr. Richard leaves for India, please pray for travel and health mercies, clear and penetrating proclamation, and moment-by-moment guidance. His schedule includes 10 flights in a little more than 10 days to engagements in several different locations. He will speak to students, business leaders and Christian leaders. Remember his family as he travels, as well.
Thank you for praying, dear friends! May 2015 shine with His promised presence.

Praise for the Lord Jesus Christ, pray that more may believe | December 24, 2014
Dear praying friends,
This Christmas season we rejoice anew that we can know God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! Many thousands of individuals all over the globe have heard of the Lord Jesus Christ because God has gifted, called and empowered Dr. Richard to proclaim the good news. (Many more have heard through pastors he has trained.) Please pray that, during this time when the birth of Christ receives greater public attention, each who has heard will embrace Him as Savior and Lord.
Also remember the Church worldwide as we worship the one true God during Advent in a vast range of languages, locations and customs, as well as conditions and situations. Our worship and work are ongoing. Thank you for lifting up Dr. Richard and RREACH, in particular, as we obey His calling, and pray that the way One Billion Individuals think and hear about the Lord Jesus Christ will change for His glory.

Prayer Multiplying! | December 16, 2014
Dear praying friends,
God is answering our prayer for Dr. Richard and the rapidly approaching Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers—and multiplying it. Dr. Richard received the following note after an engagement in Spokane, Washington, last week:
Your message…today was the most challenging subject and prayer request we have had in 2014. As we have learned about the Global Proclamation Congress in 2016, our minds have been increasingly stretched. But today you hit us with exponential expansion as you described the problems of pastoral development and training and the scope of the GProCongress in Bangkok.
There is now a greater sense of urgency in our interceding for you and the GProCongress, and all those missionaries in the world's fields…. Between now and June 2016, the GProCongress is a major, weekly prayer point of ours.
Multiplied prayer according to the Lord’s will is multiplied power. Thank you, prayer partners, for your faithful intercession. Points of prayer to lift up this week:
Praise for safe travels, endurance and encouragement through the demands of Dr. Richard’s recent schedule.
GPA Cuba (January 2015) – preparation is going well. Pray for nine more pastors to attend.
2015 Media Outreach message filming – the first of Dr. Richard’s short videos will be filmed Thursday morning, Dec. 18, the Lord willing.
Time away for Dr. Richard and Bonnie – Dr. Richard hopes to get away with his closest and most sacrificial ministry partner—his wife, Bonnie—this weekend. Please pray for refreshment.

Praising God in the Middle of a Torrid Schedule | December 11, 2014
Dear praying friends,
God is sustaining Dr. Richard through a torrid schedule—thank you for praying. After returning to Dallas last week from a 24,000+ air mile journey through four African countries, he went immediately into meetings with key contacts and the RREACH board, had a prayer event, and preached at Christ Church Plano’s two Sunday morning services. Monday found him in New York City for a World Evangelical Alliance event and gathering with strategic groups of Christian leaders regarding the GProCongress. Today, the Lord willing, he flies to Spokane, Washington, where he is to speak at Moody Bible Institute-Spokane’s commencement exercises this weekend. Continue to lift Dr. Richard up for travel and ministry mercies.
Please also pray for these ongoing elements of his ministry:
• Preparation for Dr. Richard’s 2015 Media Outreach messages on forgiveness
• Upcoming national GPAs in Cuba, Nicaragua and Lebanon
• A potential pastors conference to encourage pastors in a dangerous region
• GProCongress mobilization efforts
• Recruitment for the 2015 Dallas GPA
May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified!
