Teaching Others to Teach Others (II Tim. 2:2)
A conservative realistic projection of the number of teachers of the Gospel that will be taught to teach others (II Timothy 2:2). Generally, our students will teach five people per year to present the gospel to others. Only teachers of the gospel are considered here. Baptisms will number many times more. (One graduate baptized 100 people in his first 2 years)
This projection assumes 15 graduates per year per school. The first seven years of graduates are not even taken into account.
