| We’re calling 2022 the Year of the Disciple. The key theme verse for Multiply 222 Network is II Timothy 2:2 where Paul says to the younger Timothy: “The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” This is a beautiful passage that reveals how faith in Jesus Christ is passed from generation to generation (4 generations: Paul, Timothy, reliable people, others). This is also a vivid illustration of the Great Commission from Matthew 28 where Jesus directs his disciples to “go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.” Friends, this is why Multiply 222 exists; this is what gets us out of bed in the morning: “to multiply disciples and multiply churches.” And with all of the “2s” in 2022, including February being the 2nd month and Tuesday, February 22 being 2/22/22, we can’t miss the chance to celebrate all things discipleship! As partners in this ministry, look what you are doing: Since being launched in March 2019, 222Disciple has been methodically multiplying…one disciple at a time. We now have 640 people involved in this multiplication movement. Let me share with you two wonderfully related videos. One of Adam. The second of his son, Aiden. I have shared this one before of Adam Sculnick (below), who was led to Christ, baptized, and discipled. He is the creator of CIA (Christ In Action) Boys Ministry for 1st – 8th grade boys.  This one (below) is of Aiden Sculnick, Adam’s son, who is being discipled by Josh Sackrowitz. Josh was discipled by Adam! And now Josh is discipling Adam’s son, Aiden! How cool is this? (Also, I can’t help but notice their hand mannerisms are identical!)  Disciples make disciples. Also, The Disciple Standard Podcast continues each week with Scott Vander Ploeg as host. The podcast is designed to shine the spotlight on effective disciple-making. This latest episode (below, at 21:20) highlights how Josh Sackrowitz came to faith in Jesus and is now investing in discipling relationships, like the one with Aiden. Praise be to God!  Thanks to your support, we are multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you, Bob P.S.
