| Advent is a time of waiting, of hoping. Both carry with them a looking forward, standing on tiptoe. We are eager to celebrate the mystery of Christmas, even as we long for Christ to come again. Until then, though, we are active, not passive. Until then, we continue our partnership to “multiply disciples and multiply churches.” To that end, while waiting, let’s celebrate. Here are two brief highlights.  First, you are making disciples! Check out this wonderful 2-minute video of Jerry Elsworth (pictured above) about her involvement in 222Disciple. Jerry is one of the 850 people using this robust, one-on-one discipleship tool. If you would like more information regarding 222Disciple click here! Second, you are strengthening churches! The Center for Church Renewal recently received this award from Holland, MI area businesses. The award notice read in part,  “We are happy to announce that Center for Church Renewal has been selected as the Winner for the 2022 Best of Holland Awards in the category of Religious Organization…The Holland Award Program’s purpose is to support and offer public recognition of the contributions of businesses and organizations in and around Holland.” This is a wonderful recognition of the good and hard work of Keith Doornbos and the CCR team that continue to faithfully “Develop intentional missional congregations that make more and better disciples who transform lives and communities for Christ.” Thank you for allowing us to partner with you, as together, we multiply disciples and multiply churches. It is not too late to make a year-end donation to the ministry? You can easily submit your tax-deductible investment online at multiply222.com/general-donation.
