paul, barnabas, timothy

I am convinced that every growing believer needs a:

>Paul: a mature believer to learn from
>Barnabas: a trusted friend who will encourage you in your walk with the Lord
>Timothy: a believer you are investing in through a disciplining role

Who are your Paul's, Barnabas', and Timothy's?

Most believers can readily identify Paul's and Barnabas', but few can identity Timothy's. Who are you pouring your life into?

Paul writes, "You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:1-2).

Paul had a vision for investing in others, do you?
