Pastoral Counseling Seminar with Pastor Art Esmalla

Held at Calvary Chapel Tagaytay • July 18, 2025

What a blessing it was to gather with fellow leaders and servants of the Lord for a day of sharpening at our Pastoral Counseling Seminar last July 18, 2025.

Led by Pastor Art Esmalla, one of our faithful 222 CMN church planters and trainers, this seminar offered rich, Spirit-filled guidance on how to care for the flock—especially in these challenging times.

I was deeply encouraged to see how the Lord is raising up men who not only preach the Word but also carry the heart of a shepherd. As Pastor Art shared, counseling isn’t just about offering advice—it’s about applying the gospel to real lives, real pain, and real situations.

Our desire through 222CMN has always been clear:

Multiplying disciples by multiplying churches.
Multiplying churches by multiplying trainings.
Multiplying trainings by multiplying mentors of church planters.

This seminar is part of that mission. It’s not just a one-time event—it’s part of the ripple effect we’re praying for. That every church planter would become a trainer. That every trainer would raise up more.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Calvary Chapel Tagaytay City. Let’s continue to shepherd well, and raise up others to do the same.

222 x 2033. Let’s keep going.

Declaring Christ to Our City’s Frontliners

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” — John 14:6

I had the privilege of sharing God’s Word with the police officers of Tagaytay City—and I truly believe it was a divine appointment.

As I stood before them, I sensed the weight of the moment. These men and women serve on the frontlines of our city, but today, they were seated—not to receive commands from superiors, but to hear from the Lord Himself. And I was there simply to point them to Jesus—the only way, the truth, and the life.

We didn’t hold back. The Gospel went forth clearly and boldly. Jesus is the only way to the Father—there is no other truth that saves, no other path to life eternal. It’s a message this generation desperately needs, and I thank God we were given this door to share it with those who carry great influence in our community.

As the Word was preached, I saw hearts softening. Some bowed their heads in prayer. Others leaned in, listening with such intent. I know seeds of faith were planted—and I’m praying now that the Holy Spirit waters those seeds until they bloom into salvation, transformation, and bold witness.

To our brothers and sisters in uniform: I want you to know—you are not forgotten. Your service is seen. But more than your role in the city, the Lord is calling you to Himself. There’s a life of peace, freedom, and eternal purpose waiting for you in Christ Jesus.

Let’s keep praying for a harvest. The Gospel is not confined to church walls. It belongs in every precinct, every street, every sector of society. And God is not finished with Tagaytay.

To God be all the glory.

222 Church Multiplication Network Report — July 2024

“The things that you have heard from me… entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” — 2 Timothy 2:2

As I look back on what the Lord has done in this past season, I am filled with awe. What began as a vision—to multiply disciples by multiplying churches—has become a movement across the nation.

Leaders Trained: 10,214
By God’s grace, we’ve trained over 10,000 able leaders and church planters through the 222 Church Multiplication Network. These are not just attendees—they are men equipped to lead, preach, shepherd, and multiply.

Churches Planted: 218
Each of these churches represents lives reached, communities engaged, and the Gospel preached where it wasn’t before. From cities to remote provinces, Jesus is being proclaimed.

Training Centers Established: 62
We’ve planted not just churches—but also training grounds. These 62 centers are equipping the next generation of planters, mentors, and disciple-makers who will carry the mission forward.

This is the heart of 222 x 2033: that by the year 2033, we would see a worldwide family of faithful men—Mentors of Church Planters—raised up, equipped, and multiplying.

Let’s continue to press on. The harvest is ready. The call is urgent. And the work is far from over.

To God be all the glory.

Calvary Bible Institute Luzon: 2024 Lineup of Teachers

Equipping Servants, Multiplying the Mission

At Calvary Bible Institute Luzon, we believe that raising up faithful workers for the harvest begins with solid teaching—and this year, the Lord has blessed us with a powerful lineup of teachers who are deeply committed to the Word and the work of the Gospel.

Our 2024 faculty includes both local and international leaders—pastors, missionaries, planters, and disciple-makers—who model 2 Timothy 2:2 in their lives and ministries:

2024 Teacher Lineup:
Dan Finfrock
Jerel Hagerman
Trent Douglass
Lloyd Pulley
John Spencer
Joey Rozek
Ted Kenney
Pete Randal
Dave Rose
Michael McDonald
Nathan Kate
Ron Cox
Drew McIntyre
Bryan Reyes
Jeff Hoglen
Robert Ruotolo

These men are more than guest speakers—they are partners in the vision of multiplying disciples by multiplying churches. Each one brings a deep well of biblical insight, pastoral wisdom, and firsthand experience in the mission field.

As they pour into the students of CBI Luzon, our prayer is that every trainee would not only gain knowledge—but catch the heart of the Great Commission. We are not just preparing students to know the Bible—we are preparing them to teach, preach, plant, and multiply.

Pray with us that this year’s training would bear lasting fruit. The Gospel must go forth. The time is now.

222 x 2033. Let’s keep going.
To God be the glory.

Taal Rescue & Relief

Mobilizing Help. Ministering Hope.

In response to the ongoing Taal Volcano eruption, we have launched Taal Rescue & Relief (TRR)—a ministry initiative under 222 Church Multiplication Network—to gather and mobilize those who feel led to help.

Our hearts are with the families and communities affected by this natural disaster. Right now, we are praying urgently that the eruptions would cease quickly, and that the Lord would protect lives and property. Once conditions allow, we are preparing to step into clean-up and rebuilding efforts—bringing both practical aid and the hope of the Gospel to those in need.

We will continue to provide updates through our Facebook group and here on our website.

If you would like to give, donations can be made securely through: 222cmn.org/donate

When giving, please select “Taal Rescue and Relief” from the dropdown menu.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus in this time of crisis.
Please continue to pray—for safety, for peace, and for open doors to minister.

To God be all the glory.
