Acts 19:21-22
21 When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.
Paul had a mission, moved by God, to go to both Jerusalem and then Rome. So he sent Timothy and Erastus, coworkers and disciples, to go there to begin the work until he could come to Macedonia. Here we see the value of discipleship and teamwork in play, giving an example against those who would make ministry about themselves instead of the calling and work of the gospel.
