Timothy, we may well imagine, was awed and humbled by this great trust and responsibility. He was prepared to go. How, though, did Timothy's unbelieving father react his son's new calling to be a traveling Christian minister? He probably had very different thing in mind for his son's future. What about Timothy's mother and grandmother? Did they glow with pride while trying to hide their concerns for the young man's safety? That would only be natural.
What is certain is that Timothy went. On the morning as described at the outset of this article, he took a life of traveling with the apostle Paul. As he left Lystra behind, every crunch of the pebbles under his sandals, every rustle of the grass trampled, meant another step toward and unknown and away from his home. After a long day of walking, the three men reached Iconium. Timothy then began to observe Paul and Silas passed on the latest directions from the governing body in Jerusalem and worked to build up the fa9ith of the believers in Iconium. (Acts 16:4, 5) But that was the beginning.
