October 2022 Ministry Update

This is an archived update from October 2022, preserved from the former Multiply222 website. Figures and plans reflect that time. By Bob Crow.

Members of the newest church plant gathered on Manager Island near Lagos — A recent picture from the newest church plant, our 9th, in Manager Island near Lagos. These brothers and sisters now have a church home because of your investment in church planting!

I hope this finds you well.

Because of your faithful partnership with Multiply222 Network, I wanted to share the huge difference that you are making.

Since 2015, together we have joined the Lord in His good work in Nigeria, helping to plant nine churches with a 10th coming, Lord willing, in 2023!

Here is part of a letter we recently received from Rev. Dauda Anto, pastor of the first church plant in Benin City:

“We are grateful to Sunlight Community Church, Multiply222 Network, and their supporters for financially and prayerfully partnering with HEKAN to plant nine churches over the course of seven years. I am privileged to be the first Pastor to plant the first of these nine churches…HEKAN Benin City started with just nine people but now has weekly attendants of 170 people…By the grace of God, HEKAN Benin City has forty-seven new converts over the seven years. All these successes would not have been recorded if not for Sunlight Community Church and Multiply222 Network. I highly appreciate the members, church council, and all the donors for partnering with HEKAN in Nigeria. May the Lord bless and keep you all. May we continue to do his work of reaching the unreached. Thank you.”

These 10 churches would not exist without you.

Thank you for your investment in these Nigerian churches through Multiply222 Network. Together, we will continue this Kingdom work of “multiplying disciples and multiplying churches.”

Gratefully, Bob Crow
