Some younger ones may now be coordinating activities that include older brothers. Though such younger ones have a changed role, they would do well to benefit from the wisdom and experience of older ones before making decisions. Timothy, a younger man, worked alongside the apostle Paul for many years. Paul had written to the Corinthians: “I am sending Timothy to you, because he is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my methods in connection with Christ Jesus.” (1 Cor. 4:17) This brief statement points to the close cooperation between Paul and Timothy. Paul had taken time to teach Timothy his “methods.” Timothy learned well and had won Paul’s affection, and Paul was confident that Timothy could care for the spiritual needs of those in Corinth. What a fine example for elders to imitate today as they train other men to take the lead in the congregation! w17.01 5:13, 14

This is what Paul told on Timothy. And this tells us about the character of Timothy. He is very faithful in Lord. A Faithful christian.

We have many spirit-minded young ones, like Timothy, who serve as ministerial servants, pioneers, missionaries, construction volunteers, and Bethelites. We can do our part by always commending and encouraging our young ones in whatever capacity we can.
