Paul had a young helper named Timothy. Timothy was a leader in the church, even though he was young.
Paul wrote him a letter: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you're young!”
“Be an example in what you say, how you act, how you love, how you trust God, and how you keep your heart pure.” Kids can be great examples too!
