Paul and Timothy enjoyed the privilege of being traveling ministers who communicated important teachings and decrees from the apostles, fostering unity and guidance among the congregations. Their efforts blessed the congregations by strengthening their faith and contributing to their growth, as indicated in Acts 16:4-5, where obedience to the apostles' direction led to increased faith and numbers.
18. (a) What privileges did Paul and Timothy enjoy as traveling ministers? (b) How were the congregations blessed?Paul and Timothy worked together for years. As traveling ministers, they carried out various missions on behalf of the governing body. The Bible record says: “As they traveled on through the cities, they would deliver to them for observance the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and the elders who were in Jerusalem.” (Acts 16:4) Evidently, the congregations did follow the direction from the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. As a result of such obedience, “the congregations continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number day by day.”—Acts 16:5.
