Timothy became a missionary in distant lands, perhaps while he was still a teenager, and he had a prominent role in strengthening early Christian congregations. — Acts 16: 2 - 5; 1 Corinthians 4: 17; Philippians 2: 19 - 23.
( Psalms 78: 1, 3, 4.) Iespējams, jau pusaudža gados Timotejs uzsāka misionāra kalpošanu tālās zemēs, un viņš ļoti daudz paveica, stiprinādams agrīno kristiešu draudzes.
