Summary

As an "open market" proclaimer, Dr. Ramesh Richard seeks to share the good news to those willing to consider the facts and claims of our Lord Jesus Christ. In addition, RREACH seeks to strengthen pastoral leaders from developing economies so they, in turn, can be better equipped to reach their countries with the hope of salvation.

Evangelistic dinners are held periodically for academic, business, government and society leaders in order to share the message of salvation. Also, RREACH airs a global telecast on New Year's Day each year that is pre-evangelistic in nature. Viewers are encouraged to register on a website and to ask questions about faith and spirituality.

From his platform at RREACH, Dr. Richard travels throughout the world, speaking on the ultimate issues of life and clarifying the message of the Bible through lectures and preaching. His audiences are wide-ranging¾from non-Christian intellectuals at Harvard to poor pastors in Haiti, from gatherings of a few to a hundred thousand.

The Lord has given him the opportunity of training thousands of church leaders in over 60 countries to preach, lead, and think biblically. He also has the privilege of exposing society's "opinion leaders" to the good news of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Richard and RREACH International recently concluded a major international evangelistic outreach on primetime, secular TV around the world, exposing large numbers of opinion leaders in the weaker economies to the Gospel.
