Operation Timothy – The Blueprint for Multi-Generational Discipleship

By Eldon Kibbey

The Four-Generation Challenge

What is the ultimate goal of discipleship? It’s laid out clearly: “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” This is a blueprint for four generations of disciples of Jesus Christ.

Operation Timothy (OT) is a life-on-life discipleship tool, designed decades ago, to meet this exact challenge.

The Power of Tracks to Run On

Not everyone is a natural mentor, capable of dropping by an office and sharing biblical business principles seamlessly. Many of us need a roadmap!

Operation Timothy provides those crucial “tracks to run on”. It gives structure and consistency to the mentoring relationship, enabling men to jump in and start discipling others effectively.

A Legacy of Multiplication

The power of this tool is its multiplication factor. One story shows a discipleship chain spanning an incredible six generations—from John Greer to Keith Tyner, to Todd Hopkins, to Fred Goetsch, to Chip Woods, to Taylor Bradbury. This legacy demonstrates the long-term impact of being faithful to the task.

Operation Timothy Goes Global

After several successful iterations, the newest rendition of Operation Timothy is here! The new version is focused on mobile phones, making it user-friendly and accessible wherever you are. This tool, known as OT Global, has already been translated into numerous languages and is proving extremely popular across the world.

Whether you prefer the new online version or still like to write in physical books (which are available on Amazon), I urge you to take a look! Embrace this tool and let it become a huge blessing in your life, enabling you to build a multi-generational legacy.
