Titus 

I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them. I went from thence into Macedonia (2 Corinthians 2:13). 

Titus was a Greek Christian (probably from Antioch) who Paul had won to the Lord through his ministry and mission work. The new Christian had a special place in Paul's heart. In fact, Paul went to Troas to preach the gospel message, but when he didn't find Titus there as he expected, he left to go to Macedonia to find him. His care and concern were obvious.

Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas; and took Titus with me also (Galatians 2:1).

Making disciples requires time and effort, but the rewards are great. Paul's ministry would have been much different without the men he recruited to work for Christ. We need to learn from him because our churches also need faithful disciple-makers. Titus became a strong man of faith, and one of our books of the New Testament is Paul's letter to him. In fact, when Paul went to the conference in Jerusalem to convince the followers there that a person didn't have to convert to Judaism before he could become a Christian and didn't need to follow the Jewish diet and customs afterward, he took Titus with him.

Whereas any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you... (2 Corinthians 8:23).

Paul

In a way, Titus became a testimony to Paul's beliefs at the Jerusalem conference. The believers there could see Titus' sincere faith and the light of Christ in him. His presence helped convince the leaders that Paul was correct in his doctrine that Gentiles shouldn't have to become Jews before they could be saved. Later, Titus also accompanied Paul to some of the troubled churches to help them solve their problems. He had become a faithful friend as well as a fellow minister in the gospel.
