And this took place for two years.

Acts 19:2-9, And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. And this took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

These new believers in Jesus received the Holy Spirit when Paul laid hands upon them; then he spent two years to build them up the new disciples in their faith and knowledge of the word. And he protected them from those who became hardened and disobedient. Are we really spending enough time in building others up in the faith?

We want to be Your disciples who make disciples, Lord; show us Your ways.
