| I hope you are well this Advent season. Blessings to you. I am struck in a fresh way with Isaiah’s famous words often read this season: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The Hebrew word here for peace is “shalom” which really carries with it the idea of flourishing, of things in right relationship, functioning as God had intended. Oh, how our world needs the shalom that can only come through the Lord Jesus. Disciple-making is one of the ways we multiply this shalom. Here are two quick updates, both connected to 222Disciple.  The Disciple Standard Podcast has begun. Each week, Scott Vander Ploeg will host this podcast designed to shine the spotlight on effective disciple-making. In this episode, Scott compares the “legacy system” to the “disciple standard”, calling for a total system reset as to how to multiply followers of Jesus Christ.  Expanding to Brazil! You may be aware that we are currently translating all of the 222Disciple materials (29 lessons, including 77 videos) into Hausa (for use in Nigeria) and Spanish. We are excited to share that God is opening up doors for us to begin translating everything into Portuguese for use in Brazil! We are teaming up with a veteran missionary who has done church planting and helped to start a seminary there, as well as a dynamic Brazilian pastor who is just finishing his PhD. at Calvin Theological Seminary who will help with the translation and video work! You are promoting God’s shalom by helping to multiply disciples of Jesus Christ. If you have not done so already, will you consider a year-end gift? You can give online at multiply222.com or by contacting me. And as always, thank you for your continued support of Multiply 222 Network. We are grateful for your partnership in this important work to “multiply disciples and multiply churches.” Shalom, Bob P.S. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you want more information or have any questions. I am always eager to talk about the ministry!
