SUCCESSFUL DISCIPLING (you) (your disciple) (your disciple) (your disciple's disciple) (your disciple's disciple) (your disciple's disciple) (your disciple's disciple) A person (you) who is committed to the task of reproducing his life in someone else (your disciple), who in turn will reproduce himself in a third spiritual generation. "You" are the first generation, "your disciple" is the second generation, and "your disciple's disciple" is the third generation. Examples of multiplication Several Scripture passages clearly show the multiplication process.   Second Timothy 2:2 says, "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."   How many generations are represented in this verse?   Four!   Second Timothy 2:2 could be charted like this: (Paul) | (Timothy) | (Faithful men) | (others) 5
