Operation Timothy has been a proven discipleship tool of CBMC for years. It’s designed to build a solid biblical foundation into the lives of believers - whether a new believer with lots of questions or a person who’s been walking with God for many years.

Operation Timothy gets its name from the Apostle Paul who took a young Christian named Timothy “under his wing.” Paul’s investment into Timothy’s life helped Timothy grow into a mature believer who went on to be a tremendous leader and pastor in the first century church.

There are three books in the Operation Timothy series, Life Questions, Life Foundations and Life Perspectives. Each book builds biblical concept upon biblical concept, and will take the Disciplemaker (i.e. “Paul”) and the Disciple (i.e. “Timothy”) deeper and deeper into the truths of Scripture. But more than just teaching information and principles, discipleship is a life-on-life process in a one-on-one relationship or in a small group of interaction and accountability centered on Christ. As Paul told the Thessalonians, “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” (Italics added, I Thessalonians 2:8). The result of this personal investment of “lives” in discipleship is growing mature believers who truly grasp Christ’s command to "go and make disciples." (Matthew 28:18-20) As Paul instructed Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2, a disciple is to share what he has learned with others, who will in turn share with others.
