“I strongly recommend the In Search of Timothy curriculum to everyone who wants to see fruitful working relationships and strong bonds of partnership between pastors, staff, and volunteers. Tony served on my ministry staff from 1983 to 2002, and he proved out the principles that he teaches. If you are looking for training material that will strengthen church leaders and workers, In Search of Timothy is what you want.”

“Tony Cooke was an assistant on my pastoral staff from 1980 to1983. The In Search of Timothy study material is excellent and very relevant to the needs of the entire Christian community. Today there seems to be an overemphasis on titles, for both clergy and laity, instead of on serving God. This material teaches the importance of biblical core values and the blessing of Christ-centered servanthood for all believers.”
—Dr. Dan Beller, Pastor Emeritus
Evangelistic Temple, Tulsa, Oklahoma

“If you desire to be a Timothy—or if you are a Christian leader looking for young disciples and future leaders who will serve with hearts that please both Jesus and you—you need to take the time to read In Search of Timothy by Tony Cooke. Tony served for many years as an exemplary Timothy to the “Pauls” God called him to help. He is one of the most insightful people I’ve ever known, and his book is filled with practical and godly wisdom on the subject of emerging leadership. In fact, writing about this book makes me want to pick it up and read it all over again! It could only help me do a better job at the rewarding and complex challenge of leading others.”
—Rick Renner, Pastor
Good News Church, Moscow, Russia
“To put it simply, the In Search of Timothy curriculum is outstanding. As a pastor for over 30 years I have observed and listened to many programs for staff and team development. Tony Cooke has brought a biblical and practical perspective to assisting churches in this challenging area. On a personal level, Tony Cooke is one of the finest ministers I know. You can’t go wrong with any of his materials.”
—Gerald Brooks, Pastor
Grace Outreach Center, Plano, Texas
“Tony Cooke has hit the ball out of the park with this teaching on Timothy. I find that most servants of the Lord feel inadequate as to whether or not what they do is important and effective. Only God knows the outcome of our endeavors, but we sometimes feel that our jobs or ministries don’t quite measure up to others around us. Seeing and feeling the heartbeat of Timothy will be an exciting encouragement to all and will launch them into a greater service of building the Kingdom of God.”
—Jim Cobrae, Pastor
The Rock Church, San Bernardino, California
“You can be sure that anything Tony Cooke produces is doctrinally sound and useful in a practical way! The In Search of Timothy materials are a wealth of information in seed form ready to be planted. You can expect that it will bear fruit wherever you choose to apply it . . . small groups, staff training, ministry of helps, etc. So much effort and experience are packed into this curriculum, that it is bound to have a great impact!”
—Tim Gilligan, Pastor
Meadowbrook Church, Ocala, Florida
“We have had Tony at our church on several occasions and make a point of sending our staff to any seminars at which he is involved in our local area. We have gained tremendous insight through his ministry in the areas of church staffing and lay ministries. The experience he has gained throughout his ministry and the principles he has shared with our staff have been extremely beneficial. His In Search of Timothy seminars and material contain tremendous wisdom that—if applied to one’s ministry—will help avoid countless mistakes, deal with difficult situations, build winning teams, and do the work of the ministry with compassion, understanding, and the heart of God. No matter how large or small, established work or new work, I highly recommend the In Search of Timothy seminar to any church staff and leaders who want to succeed in their mission to equip and build their ministries.”
—John Nuzzo, Pastor
Victory Family Church, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania
“Recently, I finished leading a small group centered on In Search of Timothy by Tony Cooke. I was joined by all of the pastors and ministry staff members at our church. This was one of the most fruitful trainings we have ever done. As a result of this study, we have a heightened sense of purpose, unity, and teamwork among us to accomplish God’s will for our church. The material is biblical, practical, and written from the heart of someone who has lived it. If you are looking to make a big difference in the life of your ministry team, invest in this material and use it to see great change.”
—Walker Schurz, Pastor
Miracle Life Family Church, Lusaka, Zambia
“The In Search of Timothy curriculum has been a tremendous tool and blessing for our ministry here in Colombia. It is a wonderful resource which is informative, scriptural, and very practical in its application. There is an urgent need for more Timothys in the body of Christ and this seminar is an effective instrument in finding and developing more great servants for the work of the ministry.”
—John Romick, Pastor
Mission Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia
“Tony Cooke is a master teacher and a genuine gift to the body of Christ. He makes learning a joy! There is nothing—I mean nothing—pretentious or outrageous about Tony Cooke or his teaching. God has gifted him not only to communicate the truth of the Word in a relaxed, easy-to-understand manner, but also to impart something of Heaven into the hearts and lives of his students and listeners.
“Tony conducted an In Search of Timothy seminar for our church. It was a monumental time for us. Every evening, the place was packed with eager learners with their notebooks, pens, laptops, and hearts tuned in to what the Holy Spirit was saying to the church through Tony.
“I wish there were some way I could put into effective words the impact of the seminar on our staff, leaders, and lay workers. The teaching was compelling and powerful, yet rubber-meets-the-road practical. The outcome was greater order on the organization end of our ministry, more understanding of each other’s roles, and the development of strategic relationships that all have led to a smoother, more ‘oiled’ operation in our day-to-day practical ministry.”
Thank you, Tony, . . . so much, for imparting to our team.
—Dave Williams, Pastor
Mount Hope Church, Lansing, Michigan
