Make Yourself Available-

Much can be learned from Timothy's fine example. He benefited greatly from associating with Paul, growing from a shy youth into an overseer. Young Christian men and women can gain much from similar association today.  And if they make Jehovah's service their career, they will have plenty of worthwhile work to do.  (1 Corinthians 15:58)  They may become pioneers, or full-time preachers, in their home congregation, or they be able to serve where the need for Kingdom proclaimers is greater. Among the many possibilities are missionary work in another land or service at the world headquarters of the Watchtower Society or at one of its branches. And, of course, all Christians can manifest the same spirit as the one Timothy displayed, by rendering whole-souled service to Jehovah.

Do you desire to continue growing spiritually, to be useful to Jehovah's organization in whatever capacity he may consider appropriate?  Then do as Timothy did.  To the extent possible, make yourself available. Who knows what future privileges of service may be opened to you?
