And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2).
How do you choose the right people to train for ministry?
Paul looks for faithful, available, and teachable (FAT) men to train for ministry work. He chooses Timothy to replace John Mark (Acts 16:1-5). Timothy is a faithful disciple who “was well spoken of by the brethren” (Acts 16:2). The young man, whose name means “to value God,” makes himself available and is teachable. First Corinthians 4:17 shows the following two traits: “For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ.” Paul could dispatch Timothy to a troubled Corinthian church because he was faithful, available, and teachable. We should also strive to be FAT.
Employment Point: Invest in faithful, available, and teachable servants.
