Richard J. Reves (P002RJR)
Facilitating visionaries for community transformation
Grandson of Canadian homesteaders, Richard grew up on a mixed farm in a rustic, multicultural community in central Saskatchewan, Canada. After moving to Portland, Oregon in 1959, he completed college in electronics engineering, married Ruth and reared three daughters. In 1967, his church selected him to serve on its foreign outreach committee as a volunteer staff member. For the next 21 years, Richard worked with that committee to launch or serve initiatives to seven nations.
Since 1988, Richard has studied intensely and has continued to serve bi-vocationally, earning Masters and a doctoral degree in intercultural studies. He and his wife, Ruth, have since helped launch holistic initiatives to several Central Asian peoples. In 1998, his agency asked him to direct its community transformation, mentoring and training functions. These roles opened unique doors to develop relationships with community visionaries; and to enlarge his understanding and application of the servant mindset, bi-vocational service and community transformation concepts. By 2001, Richardrealized that his life experience had prepared him to lead the launch of Community Vision International (CVIČ).
Today, Richard is a husband, father, father-in-law
and grandfather. Still sometimes working as a consulting engineer,
Richard focuses on directing CVIČ, serving CVIČ associates, and
coaching
visionaries. As a coach, Richard helps visionaries to discover their
"personal design", to launch initiatives consistent with their design,
and to transform communities through their initiatives
