| July 19, 2022 I have two highlights I would like to share with you about what you are doing in Miami and with the Center for Church Renewal! Both of these are evidence of God’s blessings and faithfulness and your support as partners in ministry. First, we absolutely love baptisms. They are joyful celebrations, packed full of meaning. Baptisms hold forth hope. They are life-giving, not just to the one being baptized, but to the community of faith in which they happen. Baptisms are a sign and seal of “God’s promise to claim us as his own, unite us to his Son, wash away our sins, and give us the gift of the Holy Spirit as we embrace these promises by faith.” Please enjoy this one-minute video of the recent baptisms at Sunlight Miami. You may recall that Sunlight Miami launched in May 2020 during the height of Covid. Pastor John and Lourdes Granada have been faithfully sewing seeds, the fruition of which is evidenced in these baptisms! Thanks be to God! Second, I am eager to give an update on the Matching Gift Campaign during the month of June. You may recall that a couple of generous donors had pledged up to $25,000 that could be matched, dollar for dollar, to raise support for the Center for Church Renewal (CCR). Our goal, then, was $50,000. Thanks be to God and to the over 75 donors who invested during the month of June, as we raised over $55,000 for the CCR! This is wonderful. We rejoice. And we are eager to steward these needed resources to continue to “develop intentional missional congregations that make more and better disciples who transform lives and communities for Christ.” As always, thank you for your continued support of Multiply 222 Network. We are grateful for your partnership as together we “multiply disciples and multiply churches.” In Christ, Bob Crow P.S. Please consider joining our growing Monthly Multiplier group.
