Les teaches that Titus, like Timothy, was a part and parcel of Paul's whole ministry. In the context of Paul's affliction, Paul was disappointed because he could not meet up with Titus. Les explains that Paul was cast down, laid in a bed of sickness, yet not forsaken or destroyed. Even when Paul thought his ministry had ended, he was confident he had done as much as the Lord intended him to do.
