Philippians 2:21-22
For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

When Jesus sent the disciples out, it was 2 by 2. Later, even Paul was not a solo warrior for God. He took the responsibility to teach Timothy in the way he should go. Even more than that, Paul placed himself in community in order to preach the gospel. Becoming all things to all men (1 Cor. 9:22-23) is not the plan of a man who wants to run alone. If you consider yourself “entrusted” with the gospel - share it with someone who is hungry for truth. If you just started getting to know Christ, hunger for the truth of the gospel and submit to those willing to share.
