Timothy

Paul’s young protégé and co-worker, recipient of two New Testament letters.

Raised in faith by his mother and grandmother, Timothy joined Paul’s missionary team and became a trusted leader of the church at Ephesus.

Paul’s letters to him guide pastors to this day: ‘Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young… set an example.’
