In addition to his many years of faculty service, Dr. Richard serves as founder and president of Ramesh Richard Evangelism and Church Health (RREACH), a global proclamation ministry that seeks to evangelize leaders and strengthen pastors, primarily in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. His pre-evangelistic talks through social media sow the gospel and grows spiritual interests from large numbers of responses worldwide. In 1997, Dr. Richard founded TOPIC (Trainers of Pastors International Coalition) to champion nonformal pastor training where church health is not keeping pace with church growth.

In 2016, he convened the first Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers in Bangkok, Thailand, followed by the second Global Proclamation Congress for Trainers of Pastors in Panama City, Panama in 2023. He and his wife, Bonnie, have three grown children and three grandchildren.
