Outstanding Work the Saint Performed

- On a return trip in the year 50 A.D., Paul found Timothy so esteemed by the local Christians that he asked Timothy to join him in spreading the Gospel on his missionary journeys.

- Durning the journey to Macedonia, Timothy may have been subject to ill health or "frequent ailments", and Paul encouraged him to use a little wine for his stomach's sake.

- Because of his frail health he is the patron of those with stomach disorders.
